Sniff.

Minh went to Vegas for Thanksgiving weekend and left his two pet hamsters in my care. One named Dinny and the other named Quinny. Both female but thank god they had different colored fur to make them more distinguishable.

It was an interesting 3 days because I haven't had pets for a long time ever since I moved away from Silver Creek. I found myself watching them move around and dig little holes in the sawdust that lined the cage they were in. When I fed them, I would watch them as their little mouths nibbled the seed held in their tiny forepaws. When hamsters eat, it's a thing of beauty. It's amazing how such small little creatures can bring big bright smiles to our faces. Needless to say, they are so cute :]. Sometimes, if Dinny or Quinny wanted some exercise, one of them would scrape and chew against the cage bar to make some sort of a rattling sound. I would take her out and let her run around on my bed or my desk. They are so adventurous and curious, constantly surveying their surroundings and accessing different paths to meet their destination.

I don't think they like me that much though [can't blame them, only had them for three days] because they would jolt and try to get away from my hand. They even tried to eat my finger [!], especially Dinny. She is the one with attitude >_>. Quinny reminds me of me.

Lazy and always hungry.

For each morning spanning the break, the little ones started off my day in a good fashion. They go home tonight when my brother gets back, which will be 10-ish. I'm gonna miss them :[. They make me feel like I'm important. I want a pet hamster now.

Heck, any kind of pet would do [within reason]. Some nights are really lonely and quiet D: . Games sometimes don't do enough.
