May. 12th, 2006 02:51 pmFrick managed to escape - again. I had that damn little Houdini back in her cage for about 24 hours before she got out again. I'm at my wits end about her escapades. And to top it off, today Tracker tried to help me. I didn't ask for this, I didn't train him to do this. This is entirely instinctual on his behalf. This is Nature at Her finest.
Nature is, apparently, all f*cked up.
First off, Tracker is huge. 90 lbs, 4 feet long. Ask the largest man you can readily find to make fist both of his hands and hold them together thumb to pinky - Tracker's nose is LARGER than that. The hamster is approximately an ounce of fuzzy goodness and will fit nicely in the palm of your hand if you squeeze her just enough to make her eyes pop out a bit. Does everyone see the issue here, and I mean, IMMEDIATELY? Well, Tracker doesn't. Nature doesn't. I'm it.
Ever the optimist, he managed to wedge his nose between two book cases. And of course, they settled back within milliseconds, trapping his fat schnoz between them. The whining and furtive kicking with his tiny T-Rex legs at the bookshelves was priceless. Absolutely priceless. Extricating him involved desperately trying to push the bookshelves apart while falling all over him (he takes up a surprising amount of room) while laughing my ass off, all while trying to keep my knee brace from hampering the rescue attempt.
I simply MUST get a camcorder soonest. I'm living in the world's funniest sitcom but no cable system carries our network.
