Remember Me?

Phinneus update:  Nothing really, he's just fine :)  Phin is a strapping three year old these days, and getting more and more curmudgeonly.  I might actually have to buy gloves to wear when I trim his nails!  Other than that he continues to adore wheeling (and pooping while wheeling), the fattiest pieces of cat kibble, and dragging his food bowl into hiding under his wooden castle.  Since I posted last Phin has been moved from his giant Sterilite bin into a far larger cage that sits out in the open.  The accommodate for his need for darkness, even while he is sleeping in daylight hours, there is a second level, which is actually not accessible to him since I deemed the ramp to be too unsafe for a clumsy little hedgie.  The level functions only as a dark cave for him to lurk in.  He has two cage liners which cover only a part of the floor of his space, leaving some bare plastic.  This is actually a nice feature in the hot summer months.  The whole set up is much easier to clean and so much roomier overall!  Recently I adopted a mouse named Bacon.  Bacon ended up being a kind of roommate for Phin when our foster cat made an attempt on Bacon's life by knocking his cage to the ground from a high shelf.  Now Bacon and his cage are safely nestled in Phin's second level where both mouse and hedgehog are safe from marauding cats by way of sturdy metal bars.  Pet jail?  No!  Pet Paradise Getaway!  I will see if I can get some photos up soon of the setup.

The Return of the Camera!

My little red camera has been out of commission for almost a year because I couldn't find the little pack that charges the battery.  Well, I found a way around that issue and now my camera and I are reunited.  Here are some Phin photos to celebrate!
