I had forgotten that hamsters were nocturnal creatures, and that they are continually busy on the wheel, going round and round, and burrowing under the litter, and eating, and most probably surfing the internet to find their perfect mate on eRodentomy.com. It wouldn't surprise me if that rat cute little fur ball had a laptop with a wireless connection hidden somewhere in there.
I slept with Chickie last night. It wasn't because anything was wrong, or that my husband's snoring drove me from our bed or that I got tired of him taking up all of the space and hogging all of the covers. It was just more of a "girl’s night" spending the night kind of thing, if that makes any sense.
Chickie has a hamster, named Peep, who resides on a small dresser in her room. I kept hearing him all night long. Every time he would stop for a moment, I would think that he was perhaps going to sleep, or worse yet, he'd gotten out of his cage and we would never be able to find him until he started to smell.
Last night the girls and I watched Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze (swoon). I've had a crush on him since that movie came out, and it only intensified with the release of "Ghost." Last night I found out that Mr. Swayze (swoon) still has the same effect on me. Back when I was younger, I would have trimmed his toenails and taken out his trash if he would have asked me. I lived for the day that Patrick (swoon) would ask me to bear his children. Clearly, after all of these years later, things have not changed.
With the hamster wheel rumbling in the background, I dreamt of Patrick Swayze (swoon) holding me in his arms and teaching me how to dance. It was wonderful while it lasted, but alas, I woke up because there was no more noise coming from the hamster cage. I got up to check and promptly stubbed my toe on the bedpost.
Clearly, I am much more coordinated when I'm asleep.

LOL! I had a hamster when I was young adn after one night it was banished from my rom. The little rat used to spend most of the night in its wheel or pulling the bars with it's teeth which made a heck of a noise!
Sound slike a good dream - they are so often better than life aren't they? :-D

Just wanted to tell you I am adding you to my blog roll :-) Glad you liked my castle pics. I will be showing more castle pics as time goes on as there are many within an hour or so of where I live. All I have to do is wait for nice weather to go and visit them!

Hampsters, to me, look way to rodenty to be a pet. I don't get why kids like them, but they do. I don't think the cat would mind one either. You know, Lunch!
