rednicky -> I found my hamster in the weirdest way! (7/17/2009 11:12:51 AM)

Okay so I have a hamster. Her name is Chloe. She's a winter dwarf (A mini fat ball of hair) and, yesterday, she went missing. I looked in her cage and she was gone. I was going crazy, wondering if I should tell my parents or not (I'm staying with them this summer). She's so cute and has the weirdest habits. Like, she'll run on her wheel at night just to wake me up for a snack. Then she'll stare at me and stand on her hind legs like a puppy. I'll give her a peanut and won't hear from her again for the rest of the night. Because of this, I usually take her wheel out of her cage at night and place it on the floor.
So anyways, I lost my hamster. But I knew better than to actually 'look' for her. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. I had a hamster before (died of old age) and she got out on Thanksgiving. I was so afraid to tell my parents. The whole day, I was looking under stuff and in stuff and guests were wondering what I was doing. I forgot what excuse I used but it held up. No sign of sleepycat (her name). I looked for 2 days. She was gone for 4 days. My only thought was that she made it outside somehow. Then, one night, my father called me downstairs. The way he called me, I 'knew' he had spotted her. He almost mushed her because he thought it was a mouse. But then he saw a racing stripe (trademark for dwarf hamsters). Plus, my hamster is use to people. So she walk right up to my father. I caught her and that was actually the first time she ate out of my hand. She was starving. So that's how I found my first hamster.
Anyways, THIS time, I noticed my new hamster, Chloe, was missing at about 7 o' clock last night. I freaked but I knew it was best to just wait it out, rather than to look for her. I just prayed that my parents' first thought when spotting something dart across the room wouldn't be "Kill it! Kill it with fire!!" So eventually I turn in for the evening. At like 3 in the morning, I hear a familiar 'whirring' sound. I lifted my head up to see what it could be. The Whirring stopped. I thought "No. It couldn't be." I laid back down and kept still and it started again. Then I slowly got up and turn on the light. There was my hamster in her hamster wheel on the floor spinning away trying to wake me up. Then she got on her hind legs and stared at me. I reached for a gold fish cracker and I gave to her. She gobbled it up, I swooped her up, and put her back in the cage. I really have no idea how she got out o her cage (it's, like, breakout proof) but I think it's amazing that she'd compromise her freedom for a midnight snack. Anyways, I just thought this was too funny.
