Meet Master Harvey - My Dazzling Beauty!

[Thin Lizzy]

Aww Thanks Everyone!

The last week has been funny, there was a couple of days where it got too hot, but, Harvey dealt with it better than me, he found his sputniks helped keep him cool and he just pushed the carefresh to one side and sat munching away. I had a couple of fans on and I made sure he was ok. I also gave him more fruit & veggies which he thoroughly enjoyed, I said to him a few times that it's important to keep yourself hydrated. He still spent a good few hours on his wheel but, he took plenty breaks. Bless him for listening lol!
He loves stretching and I've started stretching with him, he's so cute when he does and the other day as he stretched, he did a big yawn. He takes his Hamercising seriously
On Friday I tripped and fell while out and landed on my left knee and it hurt like hell, I quickly glanced round to see if I'd been seen and stood up slowly muttering ouch, ouch and limped away.
To cheer myself up, I went into McDonald's and got some fries and a Mcflurry Ice-cream, food helps the shock. When I got home I told Harvey all about it as I put my shopping away and sorted out an ice-pack as my left knee was swollen. I turned to his cage and he was sitting at the door and I opened it and he jumped onto me - well that made the pain go away. We had a chat and I thanked him for being so caring and for his cuddles.
I've got a massive bruise on my left knee.
Harvey got his first taste of turkey and loved it, I told him it was a bit like chicken and his eyes widened at chicken.
I weighed him at the weekend and he's now 175grams.
Here's a few pics taken the other day and Master Harvey tried to make a run for it when he saw that I was holding up the phone camera;

First up, 'Oh-Oh Mom's got her camera out, she can kiss my gorgeous butt'
Second pic 'If I could just squeeze into this corner'
Lastly 'Ok mom, I'll let you take a pic, get my good side'

Harvey looks so handsome in those photos, it's cute that he makes a run when you try to get photo, but these photos are still very cute of his butt and his good side.
I'm so sorry to hear that you hurt your knee, I hope it getting better. But it was nice that Harvey helped the pain go away.
I'm glad Harvey loved turkey, (Sherbet also loves Turkey). Harvey is a good weight it shows that he enjoying all his tasty treats.
It's so nice to hear that Harvey has found a nice place to help him stay cool, in his Sputnik. It sounds like he listen well to your advice to stay well hydrated in the hot weather! Harvey is just to cute and clever!

Oh Harvey! Well done for being so caring!
By the way I discovered that McDonald's also cures travel sickness!

Dear little Harvey, what a good ham-man looking after his Mum like that!
He is a good weight now. Mocho has only ever made 164. Shows what a lovely healthy life he has with you TL! Hope your knee is better soon. Do take care.

A big Thank You from Harvey and I. xxx

My knee is much better thanks, It's now going through the various stages of bruise colouring. Harvey insisted on checking it out last night when he was running up my legs, he had a fascination with my left knee before my fall and he let his whiskers tickle my bruise. Bless him! Such special moments like that and him throwing himself at me truly make my day!
On Tuesday before heading out, I gave him a piece of banana, well he took a sniff of it and looked at me, then turned his face away. Lol! I told him Sweep loves banana and he loves hearing all about Sweep. So, I gave him strawberry instead. I left the banana in his cage in case he decided to give it a go but, when I got home later, I found the banana in his toilet corner. The thing is he loves the banana muffin and banana biscuit drops I give him. When I was taking the peed on banana out, he poked his face out.
Last night he got spoilt with roast chicken, brocolli and carrot and the look on his face made my heart melt. He wasn't expecting it.

I told Harvey all about Mocho's incident with the open cage door and how he didn't escape like him and then I filled him in about the other time he did and how scary it was and how he was rescued from the floor. Well Harvey's face and his little eyes widened and it made me scoop him up and give him a big cuddle.
He's going to Ham-mail his dear friend Mocho xxx

Pinkneon - great tip about McDonald's curing travel sickness

Haha! Your boy knows what he likes! Sweep only ever eats half the bit of banana he gets then throws it away. Think he's gone off it a bit ... Lol
