I did not sign up for this!

Seek is once more on the loose. Although the girl spent part of yesterday making a stele of rules for her room (a la Hammurabi) which included keeping her door closed, she left it open this afternoon. So, one of the cats knocked the cage down again. I got clued in when I noticed Marty intently watching the closet door in the basement. Gi found Lulu upstairs right away. Can't figure how Seek gets away so fast. He must have been inspired by the movie the kids rented---"Escape From NIMH 2".

The savant is, of course, not here to deal with the hamster drama as he is doing the Stew Perry radio contest at his friend Jim's (the guy with the big antennas) in Delaware and won't be back until the wee sma's. He did get a blistering call full of profanity, though, while I was trying to put the @#$% cage back together. I may be able to see the humor in this by tomorrow, esp. if the dratted rodent turns up alive---am having visions of a commando hamster children's book.
