Being Sweep - the life of a hamster!

[Thin Lizzy]

Aww Sweep, can I tell you that you are looking mighty handsome and I wish you luck at the show on Saturday, I hope you win a prize and get some walnuts. I love that last pic of you.
Harvey also wishes you luck on Saturday and that he's proud of you for behaving yourself at the vet. He too thinks you're rather handsome.

This is Sweep!
I spent most of today cleaning myself, running in my wheel thing and eating! I am now having a long long nap as I have to be woken up at an unsociable hour tomorrow - stupid pink human lady! I am excited to go on another "train" thing - it made me fall asleep last time. We are also going on something named "tube" and I am still unsure what this is and am trying to work out why the pink human lady - and other human people - need cardboard tubes?! I mean, I know they are SO much fun to hide and play in, but they'd need a massive one to fit inside!!
The pink human lady has packed lots of yummy looking food for tomorrow, and I'm not allowed any of it - except a bit of pepper?! That is not fair! Why won't she share her food with me?! I really hope the pink human lady gives me lots and lots of treats when we get home tomorrow because I will have had to be woken up at a ridiculous time of day, gone somewhere strange then woken up again just so strange human people can look at me and then brought home and woken up again to go back to my home! I need my handsomeness sleep so much!

The pink human lady gave me something ... She didn't realize it was so big so she broke it! I just nibbled it - yum! It is chicken flavor apparently ...

I am going to this show thing today!!! The pink human lady didn't even have to wake me up as I was wide awake already, though now I refuse to sleep! We will soon be getting on this train thing and then we will be there very soon! I hope it is fun and everyone loves me!

I am back from this "show" thing. I had a loooooong day and am glad to be home - however this was one outing with the pink human lady that I enjoyed! And I got myself a blue ribbon and two certificate thingy's!
Going to bed now!



I will tell you all about my adventure tomorrow!

Your cage will look almost as handsome as you are Sweep with the new decorations nearby! Look forward to hearing all about it from you.

Dear Sweep,
Congratulations on your blue ribbon and 2 certificates I'm so very proud of you and so glad you enjoyed your day out with your pink human. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Now you can be more demanding lol!

Hi Sweep,
it's me Pip can I have your Hammygraph? You are such a star...
May be my Pet Human should enter me into a " show thingy" if there are any nearby to where we live..
Sounds like you had a great time I think you should have Walnuts on demand.
Oh also ask for some nectarine I had some and it is yummy but also it is very sticky...
Off for a sleep now
Pip

Sweep here!
So, I promised to tell you all about my adventure yesterday!
So, the pink human lady got up uncharacteristically (big word LOL) early, so I popped out to see what she was doing. I had a drink and then was put into my carrier. At first I did not like that - it was far too early and I wanted to sleep!! She gave me a bit of green pepper and I snatched it from her paws and gobbled it up very quickly nom nom! Nice breakfast! Then she put a big piece of cucumber in my carrier and said it was "for later" ... Well, I don't like cucumber! Silly pink lady!
Then we went in that scary noisy monster, before getting on a train! It must have been very busy because I could hear a lot of human people talking, but I wasn't allowed to come out and play with anyone?! So I dug myself to the bottom of my carrier and went to sleep instead!
Apparently we also went on something named "tube" but I must have been asleep as I don't remember seeing it ... And then another train.
We eventually arrived in a strange place with some more strange human people, and my carrier was put down and ... I WAS LEFT ALONE FOR A BIT!! Then the pink human lady woke me up!! She came to see I was ok and we had a bit of a cuddle. There was a little human person standing near her at one point who said I was "so incredibly handsome". I don't know who she was but I liked her very much! I was a bit sad because there were lots and lots of other hamsters at this place, but I wasn't allowed to play with any of them!! I was put back inside my carrier, where I went to sleep in my cardboard box-house
Then, a while later my carrier opened, and I got woken up by ... Two strange human people! Where was my pink human lady?! Had she left me? These people were talking nicely to me and holding me and stroking me. I love being stroked! Then they put me back in my carrier and I decided to dig myself to the bottom again and sleep. But, the strange human people woke me up again by searching for me in my carrier. Then one said "I can see a nose!" and out I popped. They looked at me again!! I must have been very handsome for them to see me twice - maybe they forgot what I looked like the first time?! Then I was put back in my carrier, but they left out my cardbaord box-house and my tube My pink human lady put them back again, and then we went home. Once we got home I was very tired - even though I spent most of my day sleeping! And the pink human lady showed me this lovely blue ribbon I got and said I had been a very good boy and had won the blue ribbon!! I got a nut flavored hamster muffin as a treat for being good! I then spent the rest of the night asleep and didn't get up until almost 1pm for some food before going back to bed!
Well, I am not exactly sure what happened, but I enjoyed people making a fuss of me, and getting treats last night! I wonder if my pink human lady will take me again?! Those strange human people must have liked me!
Am off for a wash now and then to get get some dinner!

Pip, you should get your human person to take you to a show thing. It is fun but tiring. You have to sit there while someone looks at you - it's a bit boring really but for some reason the human people think it's fun?! And yes, you can have my hammygraph thing when I work out how to use a pen ...!

I'd like to thank my parents for my handsomeness, the pink human lady for all the yummy treats and for taking care of me, and of course my adoring fans ...!
