Lucy with a big snack
|
When Lucy wakes up during the day,
she gets up to use the bathroom and to have a drink of water.
Sometimes when I catch her doing this, I give her a treat.
If the treat is big enough, Lucy will move it immediately to her bedroom;
for a late night snack, I suppose...
" Thanks Dude! " - Lucy
" Almost there! " - Lucy
" Made it! " - Lucy
" Snack time, Dude! " - Lucy

Lucy having a drink
|
I don't think I've ever documented Lucy having a drink from the waterbottle.
So today when she had a drink, I took out the camera
The picture below is the original, above is 'flipped and mirrored'.

My Mistake...
|
This last week my perception of smell was zero due to a cold.
I took special care with washing hands before handeling Lucy.
Hamsters can catch a cold or flu, so you never can be too carefull.
Lucy made it clear (for the second time) that her bathroom needs cleaning.
(I missed that, because lack of smell)...
" ! OUT OF ORDER ! "
So I immediately cleaned it:
It took Lucy only minutes to wake up and inspect the cleaned bathroom.
I guess it was much needed, because the inspection didn't take long:
" Would you please excuse me? " - Lucy
Sorry Lucy!

Hide 'n Seek with Lucy
|
Lucy just loves to play games:
" Dude, wanna play a game? ... " - Lucy
" ...So you count to 25 and I'll hide ... " - Lucy
So I gave Lucy a half minute, and then I looked out for her
" He will never find me here! " - Lucy

Lucy's routine
|
After Lucy had some time in her Explorer Ball (approx. 20 minutes),
I get her out of her Explorer Ball while sitting on the couch.
She climbs out, checks the whole couch,
after when she comes sitting next to me and the left arm of the couch:
" Dude, what are you doin'? " - Lucy
" I was like ALMOST ready! " - Lucy
Then in the blink of an eye...
" Party time, Dude! " - Lucy

I love spring time, and I chould and should have shot this photograph last sunday,
but this one is shot today;
[ I never planted these daffodills, they show up by themselves every year! ]
They started to blossom on day 633!
The next picture is shot on day 290, in 2006:
Spring is early this year;
(633 - 290 = 343,
that's 365 - 343 = 22 days earlier!).
Adding another 25 ultra cool photographs of Lucy!
(Yes I am biased!)

An almost daily ritual
|
Lucy loves her Wild Berry Drops:
Step 1: Sniff to make sure it's the real Wild Berry Drop,
Step 2: Carefully take the Wild Berry Drop,
Step 3: Pouch it.

Sunny Sunday mornin' with Lucy
|
This morning the sun was shining pretty bright.
After I woke up, Lucy wanted some attention,
this was a great opportunity for me to shoot some photographs of Lucy
in the sun, as opposed to all the artificial lighted photo's I've been making:
" I need some breakfast! " - Lucy
" Well... that's not really what I meant... " - Lucy
" Got some Pine-seeds Dude? " - Lucy

Godmother Lucy Update! - Week 6
|
Here's the update of week six on Nany, Lulu and Oogie (Lucy's god-children from Puerto Rico)
by Yoly and Jose:
See also : Godmother Lucy page.
" Nany explorin'... "
" Oogie relaxin' "
" Lulu inspectin' "
They certainly have grown! Jose even mailed that he had gotton quite some 'hamster-cage-mortages';
they needed three more cages (!)
because Lucy's god-children are at the age that they should start living by themselves.
Again HamsterTracker™-shouts to Jose and Yoly!!!

Almost a Lucy-Touchdown!
|
Lucy always tries to score a 'Lucy-Touchdown', when on the couch.
(She climbs up on the back of the couch to reach a table)
Lucy scores quite a few, but not always:
" I scoop Lucy from the couch, when she's not fast enough. " - Mathijs
After scooping her, Lucy wasn't particularly thrilled:
" C'mon Dude, I was almost there! " - Lucy
I guess I need to make up for this...
" This is SOO LIKE NOT a Pine-seed, Dude! " - Lucy

Lucy's Trick!
|
Lucy always enjoys being on the couch (as much as I do).
Even though she has so her ways:
" Dude, behind you is a HUGE pine-seed!!! " - Lucy
So I gave Lucy the impression that I was busy doin'
something other than paying attention to her...
" - Touchdown opportunity - " - Lucy
" Yeeeeeee-Haaaaaa " - Lucy

Lucy's-Treadmill-Sensor Troubles are resolved!
|
This weekend, when looking at Lucy's treadmill data,
I was a bit worried (see also the graphs below).
So I set out to check the treadmill sensor:
After moving the sensor a bit it became obvious,
there is quite some dust blocking accurate treadmill registration(s).
Left arrow, points to the dust on the outside of Lucy's cage,
while the right arrow points to the dust on the Treadmill-Sensor-IR-LED.
I cleaned it and these last couple of days it all seems to do it's job again!
Then I had to tell Lucy...
" You mean to tell me, I've been runnin' for nothin' last week??? " - Lucy
I am makin' up with her as you read this; pine-seeds, Vitakraft Rondis... you name it...

Lunar eclipse tonight
|
Tonight (in about 3 hours after writing this,
we here in the Netherlands can experience a full Lunar eclipse.
Being a fan of such natural phenomenon:
It inspired me and Lucy in making the following photograph.
Using a Poster-Tube and a lot of patience:

Constructing a puzzle for Lucy
|
To keep Lucy busy, I thought it would be a great idea to
construct a puzzle for her:
Cut of a piece of Poster-Tube.
Place tube upright, (both ends open)
add some saw dust,
then add a treat.
It's really in there!
Fill to top with saw dust.
Added even more saw dust while compressing it.
24 hours later
Lucy hasn't touched it,
but she has chewed some of the TP-roll off,
and took most of the seeds from her food bowl.

Lucy on the couch
|
I have been having quite some fun with Lucy on the couch.
To make it even more interesting for Lucy,
I placed a paper poster-tube,
in the couch for her to explore:
" That's a HUUUGE TP-Roll, Dude! " - Lucy
" Hmmm, what's with this newspaper? " - Lucy
Well, I put it there to make it more interesting.
Lucy ran through the picture-tube a couple of times,
but she rather poses:
" Vogue Dude! " - Lucy

I have tested to see if Lucy really doesn't like her Vitakraft fruit Crossys!:
" Snack time, Dude! " - Lucy
" THAT again? " - Lucy
" I want pineseeds, Dude! " - Lucy
This got me wondering...
Could this be the presentation? ...
" I love Vitakraft fruit Crossys!, Dude! " - Lucy
