The Hamster Lair - part 2
Continuing with our tour... 
I wanted to make sure I put in some shots of the back yard for Kel.
I might have known... Hey, put those down! Those are my nuts. No embezzling government property!
Y'all come back now, hear!
There is one piece of furniture I do require: a nice, big, fluffy bed. I just love a nice, big, fluffy bed!
Oh yes... Here's my desk in the ceremonial office. Like I said in a previous post, the decor's a little busy.

The Penguin Pool, for visiting flightless fowl.
As you can see Squirrel, there's lots of trees. Wait a minute... what's that rustling out there on the lawn???

Quiet corner
Indeed, my friend, your wish is my command. I've put in a cozy little nook for you and Kel to sip a little wine -- and coffee in the AM, of course.

Home Sweet Home
Since I am a hamster, many people assume I live in some sort of cage. Au contraire! A rodent in my position has to maintain a certain style. It simply will not do to have a global tyrant scuttering about in some déclassé Habitrail. So, for your aedification, some shots of the magnificent HamsterLair:
Unofficial visitors, e.g., subjects seeking favors, the conquered seeking mercy for their territory, etc. usually arrive here first, at the Lobby of the Suppliants. I put up some pretty pictures so they won't get bored while they wait.
I usually receive petitioners in my working office. I don't think you can quite see my desk from here, but it's up there in front. The ceremonial office is a bit too elaborate for day-to-day business, so I prefer to use this one.
The breakfast nook.
My "personal space" or rumpus room. One advantage to being a hamster is that we don't have need of a lot of furniture. That really saves on overhead! I have exotic, aromatic shavings strewn over the floor fresh every day. Today it will be tulip-wood; one of my favorites. And with all this room, I don't need one of those tacky exercise wheels. Wheeee!!!

ATTN: Left-Coast Rodents
Since my old Pontiac was so well received, I thought I'd do another "long distance dedication" and send this one out to Woodchuck and Squirrel, recently posted on the ever-amusing Engrish.com. Enjoy...

For my brother, Ed
Allow me to step out of character for a moment and take a waddle down memory lane. One of my oldest memories is of a pea-green 50's vintage Pontiac my oldest brother owned when I was just knee-high to a Siberian Dwarf Hamster. (Come to think of it, where are their knees? Oh, never mind.) A week or so ago, as some of you know, DG and I were out to a classic car show and there we encountered a Pontiac very much like my brother's - except a lighter shade of green. So, for fun, here are the pix. Enjoy Ed! (By the way, the Indian's head on the hood ornament lit up.)
