Lucy's (Explorer) Ball fun
Lucy really enjoys exloring the living room in her Explorer Ball.
Lately she reacts to when I call her name; she actually runs towards me and convinces herself it's me, by smelling...
" I know you're here Dude, cause you just called me... " - Lucy
Note the 'Duck-Tape-Explorer-Ball-Lock'.
Because Lucy escaped once,
this is my/our insurance...
Also Lucy's Explorer Ball rolled of the table, after Lucy got out of it, a little while ago,
cracking it a bit, the lock makes sure that Lucy is in a safe environment, while in her Explorer Ball.
" He Dude! " - Lucy
Because I was shooting photographs, Lucy went back explorin'
After a few minutes I called her again.
She came running...
" Man I love this game... Where are you Dude? " - Lucy
" Bulls Eye! " - Mathijs

Extreme HamsterTrackin' Germany
By Eule (a.k.a. Ralph)
Eule sent in this photo of his cat Jule a little while ago:
" My cat named Jule wasn't very interested in Lucy.
She spent the whole day outside and is now very tired.
Bears, hamsters, cows, dogs, sheeps... -
when Jule sleeps it makes the rest of her world happy! :-[
" - Eule
Could entry this be the start of Extreme HamsterTrackin' your pet?
We love the way Jule is looking at Lucy!
Is that a curled up right paw?
therefore...
Extreme HamsterTracker™ shouts to Eule and Jule!

Serving Lucy a Vitakraft Donut - (final) part IV
I have had extreme fun photographing Lucy, while she experienced her first
Vitakraft donut (see also days 466 and 463 and 461 below):
" Pull... Pull... Pull... " - Lucy
This is how it looks from the side, while Lucy is pulling the thing
Lucy is thinking it all over (again)... Whilst snackin' a bit
" Another go... " - Lucy
" Want it! Need it! Gonna get it! " - Lucy
Lucy eventually got it in her bedroom, after chewing this (oh so difficult and not very soft) donut down to size!
" Nice front door, isn't it? " - Lucy

DIY-Extreme HamsterTrackin' by Michelle - part IV the final
Michelle submitted an Extreme HamsterTrackin' report a while ago,

" Hockey arena in Bellville, Ontario, we ARE in Canada, eh! " - Michelle
" Michelle's mom's boyfriend's (Paul) sun burnt feet. Ouch! " - Michelle
Yes, Extreme HamsterTrackin' can be dangerous!

Serving Lucy a Vitakraft Donut - part I
I have had extreme fun photographing Lucy, while she experienced her first Vitakraft donut:
" Under Lucy's approval eye... "
" Why didn't I get a pat on the back? " - Lucy
" What's this! " - Lucy
Note: Lucy is being very cautious (her ears are flat),
this might be caused by this intrusion in her cage.
" Dude, this is NICE! " - Lucy
" Great, it even has peas, somethin' I've never tasted before! " - Lucy
" ... (moment of silence) ... " - Lucy
Then the most difficult shot to shoot:
" MmmmmmMMmMMmmM ... " - Lucy
Holding my camera in the cage,
aiming the best that I could,
I shot this (lucky?) shot!
How fluffy Lucy is in this photograph!

Sometimes it's not always going smoothly, or does it?
Isn't it funny that problems always come in pairs?
This weekend I did some shopping for Lucy at my favorite Pet shop:
Hamster-Doughnuts! How Cool! - Mathijs
Today I found out that I've bought 3x Kraker® for Guinea-pigs...
Yesterday we experienced an Internet black-out, therefore I couldn't update...
Fortunately the HamsterTracker™ server could cope with it this time
and the data was uploaded at the moment it was possible
(not losing any data along the way ;-)
This morning I discovered that the webcams (as well as the RSS-feed) aren't updated as they should:
This resulted in various phone calls with my Internet Service Provider (ISP), during my lunch break.
They suggested that I contacted the supplier of my router.
The supplier of my router suggested that I upgraded the router to it's latest firmware.
After upgrading and twinkering, another call to the ISP.
Yeah, now where back online!!!
Unfortunately the webcam problem still exists... :-(
To end with some positive notes
Lucy has gone back to her usual self after last bite (see entry below)!
My finger has healed almost 100%!
Because of ISP blackout, we have spent some extra quality time on the couch!

current treadmill total: 431,961.84 meters! (20:35 CET)
The first time Lucy has done this...
It all started out like the usual thing...
" Dude! ... You? ... Here? ... Cool! ... " - Lucy
After Lucy's Explorer Ball adventure I let her on the couch as always...
We played around, having fun, while I sometimes needed to make sure that Lucy wouldn't jump or something:
" Yeaaaah, Dude! I am flying! " - Lucy
(Note her right paw in Turbo flyin' mode)
Then it happened...
When I lifted Lucy off the couch...
She unexplainably paniced and (even) squeeled... (never seen/heard her doing that before)
Then... >BITE< ...
I let her loose on the couch (again), to calm down and to observe;
Lucy was shocked... She sat still for a while, probably wondering what happened....
In the mean time, the only thing I could think of was sweet talkin' to Lucy in an attempt to settle her down;
Whilst Licking my wound;
" Forry for thif to haf happend.
Ferry forry to have fstartled you! " - Mathijf
(read outloud while putting one finger in mouth, then you'll understand)
" The day after "
I guess you can give your hamster an unintentional scare sometimes... My mistake!, sorry Lucy!
Observation: Lucy's two front teeth are approximately 3 mm wide, that's 1.5 mm per tooth!
(3 mm, that's the width of the 'horrific' bite in my finger)

Apple-Sushi for Lucy
I've been cookin' it for Lucy, again...
The stuff you need:
(washed) Apple,
Cooked rice,
Knife,
(Apple) corer.
Cut a slice from apple
Admire, work done so far.
Use (apple-) corer to make a hole
(Optional: Admire again!)
Cut of edges to make an apple-cilinder
The apple-like-sun is for your own enjoyment!
Fill with (cooked and cooled) rice
In close up
In close up, up side down
About to serve... But wait Lucy's cage is a mess...
Cleaning it up before the serving...
Please understand that this isn't even close to real sushi.
It's inspired on the real sushi, (the ones with fresh fish, shrimp and/or vegetables together with rice inside, surrounded by some special sort of sea-weed).
I love the real stuff soo much, that I needed to make a variant for Lucy!
