(Photographs: top ~ trio of pink noses. Nearest image I could find to match my three; right ~ Baby Itchy looks a bit like this white little doggie (sometimes) when she's tired and weary)...MY BABY LITTLE ROBOROVSKIS ARE GETTING FRIENDLIER... I don't know what's happened, what I've done; but rather than panicking when I put my hand in, my sleeping little gremlin-babies just smooth and stretch as I rub them between the shoulders with a fingertip (they are so tiny (no longer than my thumb) you can barely "stroke" them at all...) ... and they casually snooze on!
Even Spherical lets me stroke her like this. I wonder what on earth I have done right? Perhaps they're so ecstatically happy in their new home they even like ME now too..? There was a bit of pinging around in panic earlier this evening when the old Spherical suddenly realized "a horrible human giant has put his nasty big hand in here! Flee girls! Flee I tell yer!!" and her babies duly oblige. (I'm pretty sure Bashful and Itchy ARE Spherical's babies. For one thing they stick together far more... e.g. in the diggery, Spherical does her own thing, whereas Bashful and Itchy stick together the entire time... they look so funny when one vanishes, tubby bum in the air, then the other swiftly follows... Earlier on tonight all three were safely ensconced in the lightbulb box. I picked it up and cooed "hello you baby gremlins!" into it... a pyramid of pink noses appeared at the entrance, but the beady eyes that peered out seemed too weary to venture pingingly into the mirrored world beyond...
MUSIC:
Leona Lewis is the talk of the music world, having just topped the American as well as British single and album charts with her debut releases. Leona is by FAR the best thing to come out of any TV talent show I've seen... this is her original X-factor performance, Houston-style of I Will Always Love You...
VIDEO:
I didn't do this! I found it on Youtube: Roborovski montage to Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love:~
A Little off Kilter: Dogwood Winter ~ lovely spring pixx
Picture blog of the day:
Caleidoscópio Artes
This is the most amazing blossom picture I've seen this year...
I left a Google-translated Portuguese comment:
Que foto de uma linda flor! Vou dar a sua página de gritar no meu blog esta manhã. Isso é tão maravilhosa fotografia, que são aquelas com árvores tão incríveis roxo flores?
That came back hilarious in retranslated English:
What photo of a beautiful flower! I will give your page to scream in my blog this morning. This is so wonderful photo, which are those with trees such amazing purple flowers?
I will give your page to scream..! I love that!! I had actually said "I will give your page a shout..."!!

PS: Ever heard of "wire fox terriers"~?? Me neither. Though they look like Disney dogs, y'know with the cute "beards" and all...
Here's Agatha and Archie's personal wire fox blog...
DOGS BEING TORTURED (wearing glasses, blobs of cream on their noses etc)... probably they don't mind but I can't help wondering I've left a message asking the blog-owner... ANYWAY who cares about animal-welfare scruples: clickon the blog and be entertained!!
What is the difference between a wire fox terrier and an airedale? They look exactly the same to me... (click here for Kirby the airedale's blog)
Those little hamsters are very cute, but christalmighty, that was possibly one of the most inappropriate songs for a hamster montage EVER!
ReplyDeletehaha! well as I say 'twasn't my choice!!!
ReplyDelete;->...
Gledwood, I don't know if my last comment went through, but yes...the pictures are form Boston that you were looking at..I live just outside the city...Also...It's good to see the family all back together!
ReplyDeleteyeah. i'm chinese-indonesian!! thank you for your comment! nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteMorning Gleds ... are you having an early start today. I've decided against going outdoors with a torch looking up possums undercarriages to check out their pouches in the name of curiosity ;)
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling today ... is the cold on the way out of your system now? Hope so *!*
Thank you for the nice comment about my flowers!
ReplyDeleteCute hamsters - I (my son, actually) has four gerbils who live in the den - they are cute to watch.
Tom: o yeah, it's a family affair!!
ReplyDeleteChanworks: I would love to do Indonesia one day... looks amazing. We Brits are an island people too so most of us have a thing about being near the sea
Bimbimbie: Yes the internet cafe opened before 10am this morning so I feel quite privileged to be in here early... Feeling far better thank you. And far less coughing!!
Hi Citizen your comment crossed mine at precisely the same moment I posted my last repy which is why I didn't see you... I've never had gerbils. I've had a mouse though, they are like tiny, duller gerbils (my mouse was natural housemouse colour...)
ReplyDeleteJust looked in on your pet page ... feeling down in the mouth now after seeing them in a pet shop. Is that from here or in the UK? ... Off to have a cuppa and a large piece of chocolate *!*
ReplyDeleteI got the impression from the langauge "these little guys are Australian marsupials"... that it was American...
ReplyDeleteThose pink noses are adorable! I like your pooch too!
ReplyDeleteI saw Leona Lewis featured on Oprah and I agree that she is talented and will be a big hit!
It's not my doggie unfortunately, just one chosen to illustrate the resemblance with Baby Itchy Roborovski when Itchy looks bashed-up and wet...
ReplyDeleteLeona: yeah, the next big thing!
Hey Tom I met 2 "wire fox terrier" doggies from Boston... perhaps you know them?

OK and because I live in London I live next door to the Queen ~ I know! sorry I couldn't resist!
I want a hamster pet! I'm going to ask my Mommie for one. I hope she does not say no, just because my Sea Monkeys did not make it.
ReplyDeleteAren't sea monkeys some kind of transparent pet prawns? Don't you buy them as dry "seeds" (eggs) from a novelties shop, add water, and get saline swimming entertainment in a pint glass for a week until they die? How on earth do they harvest the dried eggs then?... that's what makes me ponder. I don't know that I've ever SEEN a "sea monkey"... I DID have pet freshwater shrimp for my goldfish (live goldfish food)... took pity on about five of them and kept them as pets with my diddy tropical fish where, for weeks on end, they showed no signs of demise ...
ReplyDeleteYour little ones are darling - i'm a sucker for little pink noses!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your hamsters are becoming more friendly towards you now.
ReplyDeleteLeona Lewis has a fabulous voice - her cd is fantastic.
Look! It's letting me comment!
ReplyDeleteYay, so glad Spherical is back. Not glad that you have a cold. Eat oranges or drink juice. Get your vitamins to fight it. Don't let those evil little viruses get you down. Cheer up. We loves ya loads!
They are really cute! I haven't had pets since I was a kid... miss it now!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we have rabbits, cats, raccoons and beavers in the wild here. Makes it up for it.
Patti: they do look funny when I talk to them and three pink noses appear at the "doorway" to their hammyhouse
ReplyDeleteAkelamalu: yes: I don't know what has come over them!!
Liz: it's not problems with commenting I have but a couple of blogs I've had consistent troubles trying to get to load... sometimes the virus blocker or firewall thing totally closes it down. Don't know why but it does. Happened loads of times (at the same places) too..
Zhu: roborovski faces look like raccoons... except in dun-and-white rather than black and white coloration
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting....Alpaca are not a llama sheep cross, but just, well, Alpacas. They are a member of the camelid family - llamas and, yes, camels.
ReplyDeleteThey are relatives of the camel? That doesn't surprise me....
ReplyDeleteWhen I said "cross between" I didn't mean literally from interbreeding, I meant a visual cross as in looks like half sheep half llama...
then again, what would you call a llama (apart from "what's that?!?" in Spanish!!)... a llama would be a sheep crossed with a camel and a giraffe ... ~ I suppose ;->...
