Sunday morning, I mysteriously woke up at 7:15 (am.),
so I did a checkup on Lucy ...
Lucy had disappeared !
As it seemed some (normally securing) Duct-Tape came loose,
enableing Lucy to have a venture outside her cage.
When I tried to move the bedroom to the nearby table after this discovery,
disaster struck (again) :
" I should refresh the Duct-Tape everytime,
it had lost it's sticky-ness ! Stupid, Stupid me !!! " - Mathijs
I did crawl around in my living room trying to spot Lucy.
I then checked behind the refrigirator,
the place I found Lucy on her first escape, March 6, 2008.
Unfortunately she wasn't there :-(
I then sat in a place, overviewing as much grounds as possible...
because I did HEAR Lucy occaisionally,
I rattled Lucy's favorite treat-box...
SHE CAME OUT OF HIDING !
She was in the corner of the kitchen,
in a small space in the corner,
which thankfully doesn't lead anywhere !
Today I made this re-enactment on how Lucy and me where reunited:
(Using the famous Hamtaro doll as our regular stunt double)
" I offered a Pine-Seed, hoping to grab her...
That didn't work, Lucy retreated back in her newly discovered space.
Then I made a leap of faith, putting my arm in (further than in the above animation),
to try to grab her.
That WORKED !
Although Lucy made some loud SQUEEKING SOUNDS when I did,
She still hasn't bitten me !!! " - Mathijs
Lucy calmed down, as soon as she was in my hands !
I sat with her on the couch for a moment,
doing some basic inspections (Lucy seems to be fine, fortunately !!!)
I then explained that Lucy had to help on her bedroom decorations.
(I didn't have time to do so, my first priority was to find Lucy.)
She looked forward to it,
and helped out really well, after having a huge sip of water.
" Lucy started with a bare bedroom (nothing in it at all... is pretty bare).
Lucy has been working hard for these last five minutes ! " - Mathijs
" Got it Dude ! " - Lucy
" I had a GREAT TIME !!! ... (did I say that out loud ?) " - Lucy
This morning I confronted Lucy with the plundered melon-seed supply !
" I just nocked it over Dude. ( and only took a few ) ! " - Lucy
I am sooooo glad she is back, healthy and safe !
What an adventure she must have had between (approx.) 4 am - 7 am !
(The HamsterTracker system recorded the last treadmill activity around 4 am)
If only hamsters could talk ... I wonder what HER story is on this adventure !
