Pretty Minka

Spoilt Minka

I bought some cool "cat shelves" for Minka
they're made of bamboo with a fuzzy top for her to sit on
I think she'll enjoy being so high up!
Later that night I noticed one of Minkas claws was bleeding a bit. So I bundled her up in a towel to allow for closer inspection. She is a very good patient ! She was totally calm and seemed to enjoy being swaddled so tightly. Her nail on the back paw was split right down to the bottom so I glued the ends together with a dab of super glue. We'll have to see how that holds!

Paddling Hamster

Phew ....sorry it's taken SOOOO long to put the pics up but I realise now there is a bug from Picasa and the "blog this" button ...ug ....just figured it out......

Anyway....... here are some photos of Chris and me on our kayak trip to Sechelt Inlet.

It was a fabulous weekend weather wise and a good time was had by all. The great thing about kayak camping is that you don't have to carry your tent food etc etc .You ar e able to pack a LOT of stuff into that seemingly thin and fragile boat. Hence we had luxuries like wine,fresh (made at camp) chocolate brownies and peach cobbler, steak and potatoes. All of the food and menus were arranged (and mostly cooked) by Chris . Even a table and chairs to sit at . Very civilized !!! We were the envy of the 2 other groups camped out I can tell you ..when the aroma of hot chocolate cake was wafting by. Luckily it didn't attract the bear that had been seen in the vicinity either.

We paddled from Porpoise Bay (south end of Inlet ) all the way up to Tzoonie Marine Park in the Narrows Inlet (have to look at the map on the link above). Chris worked out we went about 65km that weekend .Including a day trip on the middle day. Not bad for a newbie hamster. Paddling in a double is WAY easier than 2 singles .(plus i can rest a bit and C can keep paddling hehehehe)

Climbing Hamster

OK so, I tried another new sport this weekend to add to my resume.
A week or so ago I took an intro to climbing course so this weekend I went with Chris (my new bf). We drove up to Squamish which is an international mecca for climbers and tried out m new skills.
Chris has been climbing for about 10 years so I felt safe with him(im not sure he feels the same about me but I hope I can earn his trust as I bravely hang on to the rope to catch his fall if needed!)





Chris shows me the rope(s)





















Looks like a long way up !











































Don't look down !
