The Ham report - Rumblepurr

So, we've been to the vet, and he suspects allergies, most likely food. He's been noming on some Chicken Temptations when he usually gets seafood flavor, so Rumblemum thinks that might be it.

She's thrown out the Temptations (I'm not supposed to eat them because they cause my acne to flare up) and we're gonna see what happens. Hammy had a shot that should keep him from scratching the area any more than he already has.

Thanks for all the comments yesterday! Rumblemum really appreciated it.

In other news, that Ham now weights 6.82KG - which is 15Lbs... that's almost as big as ME!

Careful with that groomin', Hammy!

Nom nom nom

Ummmm... Hammy? I think you got something in your mouth...

Rumblemum here...

Hi all,

I was giving little Diego a combing today, because I've noticed he's been shedding. While I was combing his ruff I noticed a large, red bald patch.

My first instinct was that he's been over grooming - but the location of the patch isn't somewhere he could easily wash or bite. He has been scratching a bit in that area over the last few weeks, so it might be that?

He and Rumbles have also been play fighting - but I don't think it's something Rumbles would have done - he's such a gentle boy.

Unfortunately I noticed the patch after the vet had closed, and I don't want to take him to emergency, I'll take him in tomorrow. I've plugged in the Feliway in case it is stress or over-grooming.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

I think this blog should be called...

RumbleTUM!!

Or better still, HAMMYTUM!

Please insert ham here - Diego

In case you're wondering, I'm trying to get the Da Bird!

A Hammy day is never done - Diego 'Hamlet' Moonfur

It is very hard work being a Hammy. I have to give cuddles at night, supervise all the household activities and monitor bird activity!!

Lucky that I have Rumbles to hold down the fort while I zzZzzZzzzz

Tummy wubbles - Diego

You see this? When I go like this, it means I want tummy wubbles!!

What are tummy wubbles, you may ask? It's when Rumblemum rubs my tummy and goes 'wubble wubble wubble'!

Don't ask me why, but the wubbles make it even better *purrrrrr*

It's quiet...tooooo quiet....

Hello friends,

Rumblemum is travelling quite a bit for work at the moment, so we're going to be quiet for a while. Just wanted to let you know and I've disabled comments for this post :) I have, however, discovered a new bloggie with some cute kitties (and a BOOTIFUL ladycat) so maybe stop by there and leave a comment for them!

We'll be back soon!

Day of Diego is OVER!

Phew, I wasn't sure I'd get thru the day. But now we're back to the Rumbledays, so all is well.

I think I should get some reward-prawns for being so good.

Day of Diego

Well, apparently Hammy needs 'some online time' *snort* so today has been declared 'Day of Diego'. If you follow me on Facebook you'll have seen some of the Diego day posts already.

Now here are some Diego photos (one specially for our friend Clarissa, cause she asked :))

(Tomorrow all will resume to being RUMBLE-days. Yeah.)

This one is for Clarissa - shows Diego is a HAM even from an early age!

I can almost hear you squeeing from here *sigh*

A young Diego and a handsome me...

An older Diego and a STILL handsome me!

I hope you've enjoyed Day of Diego, I know he sure has. He's strutting around the house!

He's a good little brother, and I love him lots (just don't tell him, k?)

Hmmm, a plan - Diego

Don't tell anyone, but I think tomorrow will be DIEGO DAY!!!

Yeahhhh... all Diego, ALL DAY! Mew ha ha ha!

A special HAPPY BIRTHDAY for our sweet friend Marg. She is a friend to all animals, and a friend to us.

Hammy will never find me here!!

TOY!!!! - Diego Moonfur

We got the BEST BOX EVER today!!! Rumblemum ordered us some new toys from Nip & Bones!! I've never gotten a package from them before, but Rumbles says they're packed by a beautiful ladycat named Baby Patches!

This is a video of me and my FAVORITE toy... I say it's my favorite, but I think there are more toys in the box that I haven't even SEEN yet!

Sing a Hammy song - Diego

That Rumbles, he's soooo silly. He was singing this little song - it went "Mew mew mew maaaarooooooo" (which means "I have an annoying little brother, he HAS to do everything I do....)

I don't know why he got so grumpy when I sang along with him!!
