Maximus makes me laugh. This little fellow is just a joy to be around.
Today he came out early all sleepy eyed
and decided to devour a couple of flowers,
all casual and relaxed. After doing so, he very deliberately (it seemed)
walked up to where I was watching him from, stood up on his hind legs
and gave me 3 x snoot. Nose to nose.
Then very cooly strolled around for more treats. I am blown away by his confidence.
One of his favorite spots to sit seems to be a wooden block candleholder
that I hide some stuff in, I adore how his fluffy butt just sits in there perfectly.
(also how pissed he can manage to look)
A little while later I was still hanging out with him,
he interacted with my fingers quite confidently,
and even let me stroke him ever so gently over his back.
Little steps, but it feels so major. Happy hamster, happy me.
