If you love running, but hate running with too-long nails, why do you put up such a fight against getting your nails trimmed? See how much farther you ran last night after I ambushed you in broad daylight to trim your nails? Now, please let me finish your front left foot without eating the nailclippers.
I know you are probably unhappy right now, but I promise I woke you up for a good cause. Bringing you to work is the right thing to do, your cage was too cold! I will fix my windows soon. Now, sleep
I promise, that's your co-keeper. He just tried a new job today, and smells funny. I can smell the cleaning goop, too, but I promise you, he's still your co-keeper. And he has a mealworm.
Stop huffing, hiding, and trying to run away, and go eat your mealworm.
I don't understand why you act like you're mean before I pick you up. Your huffing and puffing is no use for this human that wants to give you snuggles! You love kisses on your forehead, you can't deny it.
Two nights ago for the first time you cuddled right in my arm instead of on a fleece in my lap, but last night you acted like that never happened. However, you didn't realize that I took proof of the incident and if you continue to deny it I will show it to all my friends:
It's hair. You've seen it before. You've smelled it before. You've tasted it before. Seriously, you'd think that after 5 months it would be old hat by now. Not really understanding your obsession with anointing with it and sleeping in it. Not that I mind, I just think it's silly.
My dearest prickly pie,
Thank you for putting up with all my singing, and I hope you don't pretend to fall asleep in my hand as I sing you welch lullabies.
Sincerely, your humming human
I spent months worrying about your decreased running, visiting the vet, changing your wheels, upping the temperature, modifying your diet, all to no avail. Finally, I take you with me on a weekend island escape, and you run for over 6 hours at top speed, only stopping when you cracked your wheel.
You could have just told me you wanted a vacation!
I'll buy you a new wheel today,
Your travel coordinator
Between your healthy quills and your over-protective humans, you have nothing to fear in this world. The tiny cries from your nightmares are breaking my heart. You're safe, I promise.
In helpless sympathy and eternal dedication,
your gaurdian
Skullmageddon,
I know you lived in a house with 3 year old twin boys. I am sure that was a bit stressfull as they played with you daily. I do my best to wait till after dark to visit with you and I love that you sleep so soundly in my armpit. One thing, however I do require you to change. You do not need to bite me just because you are under a blanket and you see my finger. IT HURTS! So please. No bites. I'll just snugg you more anyway.
The world does too exist! you can't sleep it away!
