Hamster Hopper Chapter 1

Welcome to Chapter 1 of the ‘Hamster Hopper’ podcast!

 

Hello, dear diary! 🌟 My name is Frida, and I’m a delightful fat-tailed hamster with a round, velvety body that's as soft as a plush toy. My fur is a warm, golden hue with gentle hints of cream, and my little paws are perfectly designed for climbing and exploring. My tail, though not very long, is plump and adorably pudgy, giving me a unique, endearing look.

 

My eyes are shiny, curious orbs that sparkle with mischief and wonder, always eager to discover new corners of my world. My cheeks are pleasantly chubby, and I love stuffing them with all sorts of tasty morsels—sometimes you might even see a little crumb sticking out! I’m small and round, but full of personality, with a heart as big as my appetite.

 

I live with my wonderful owner, Fey, who is a talented floral artist. Her days are filled with vibrant colors and the sweet scents of blooming flowers. I love watching her work, her delicate hands arranging petals and leaves into beautiful arrangements. Sometimes, she brings home lovely flowers and lets me sniff them from a safe distance—what a delightful treat!

 

It’s January 1st, and what a wonderful way to start the new year! Today, Fey works extra hard at her flower shop, turning it into a beautiful haven of fresh blooms and vibrant colors. The shop is filled with the cheerful scent of roses, lilies, and daffodils—each arrangement more stunning than the last. Fey has been so busy today, preparing special New Year’s bouquets and helping customers choose the perfect flowers to celebrate the occasion. I can tell she’s putting her heart and soul into her work, and it makes me proud to see her so passionate about her art.

 

Today is another busy day in the life of a hamster. I try my best to support Fey, my amazing owner who is a floral artist. I can’t exactly help with arranging flowers or picking out colors, but I do my best to be her little cheerleader. I stay out of the way while she works on her beautiful arrangements, which I think helps her focus. I even try to give her extra cuddles and keep her company with my playful antics. I know I’m just a tiny hamster, but seeing Fey smile makes me feel like I’m making a difference in my own special way.

 

Today is also an exciting adventure! Fey brings me along to her flower shop, and I spend the whole day observing her incredible work. From arranging vibrant blooms to carefully selecting the perfect stems, I am mesmerized by her skill and passion. As I watch her transform simple flowers into stunning arrangements, I feel proud just being there with her. Even though I can’t help directly, my presence seems to bring a smile to Fey’s face, and that makes me feel like I’m a part of her creative world.

 

At night, after a long day at the flower shop, Fey finally finishes all her work and brings me back home. I can tell she is tired but satisfied with her day’s accomplishments. As we settle back into our cozy space, I snuggle up close to her, grateful for the chance to be by her side. Watching her work and seeing her relax afterwards makes me feel like I have been a small but important part of her day.

 

As we finally get home, Fey gives me a sweet kiss on the head, and her red lips leave a funny mark on my fur. I try to nuzzle it off, curious about the new sensation, and Fey can't help but laugh at my little antics. With a playful smile, she says, "Stupid hamster," but I know it’s all in good fun. Her laughter and affection make me feel even more loved, and I am happy to share these silly, joyful moments with her.

 

Fey uses makeup remover to gently erase the red mark from my fur, and I watch in fascination as it disappears. It’s super duper cool to see it vanish so easily. Even though I find makeup remover fascinating, I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of the stuff. It feels a bit strange, but watching Fey’s gentle care makes me feel special and appreciated.

 

When Fey uses makeup remover to erase the red mark from my fur, I start to feel itchy. The sensation is a bit uncomfortable, and I squirm as I try to get away from it. Even though I find the process fascinating, I’m not a fan of how the makeup remover makes my fur feel. I hope Fey notices and adjusts her approach to keep me more comfortable.

 

Noticing how itchy I’m getting, Fey decides it’s best to send me to the vet. She quickly calls a tuk-tuk delivery service to transport me to the pet hospital. As the little vehicle arrives, Fey carefully places me inside and gives me a reassuring pat. I feel a mix of curiosity and concern, but I trust that Fey’s decision is for the best and that I’ll get the help I need.

 

Fey’s favorite tuk-tuk driver, Manow, arrives at our home to pick me up and take me to the pet hospital. With a friendly smile and a reassuring demeanor, he carefully places me in the tuk-tuk, making sure I’m comfortable. Fey waves goodbye and gives me a gentle pat, trusting Manow to get me to the hospital safely. As we set off, I feel a mix of excitement and nervousness, hoping for a quick solution to my itchy problem.

 

As we ride to the pet hospital, Manow turns to me with a kind smile and asks if I’m hungry. I try to nod and squeak in response, hoping my little hamster gestures convey that I’d love a tasty treat. Even though I can’t speak human, I make my best effort to show that a snack would be appreciated. Manow chuckles and gives me a reassuring pat, promising that we'll get to the hospital soon and that he’ll make sure I’m well cared for.

 

Manow reaches into his pocket and pulls out a sunflower seed, offering it to me with a friendly smile. I eagerly nibble on the seed, feeling a rush of happiness and relief. The tasty treat is a perfect distraction from my worries, and I appreciate the kind gesture. As I enjoy the seed, I feel a bit more at ease, knowing that Manow is taking good care of me on the way to the pet hospital.

 

As I munch on the sunflower seed, I glance around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Fey, but she’s not here. I realize that Fey stayed at home, probably busy or needing to take care of other things. Even though I miss her presence, I trust that she’ll be waiting for me when I return. For now, I focus on enjoying the seed and staying calm as Manow drives me to the pet hospital.

 

After waiting in a long line for what feels like an eternity, the clock ticks past an hour before I finally hear the vet call my name, "Frida." I perk up at the sound, feeling a mix of relief and anticipation. As I’m gently lifted into the examination room, I remind myself that this wait will soon lead to feeling better, and I trust that the vet will help make things right.

 

When I’m finally in the examination room, the vet quickly learns that Fey is my owner, and they understand how important this visit is. Manow stays by my side, doing his best to keep me calm with soothing words and gentle strokes. His presence helps me feel a bit more at ease as the vet prepares to check me over, making the whole experience a little less daunting.

 

The vet carefully cleans me, gently wiping away any lingering traces of the makeup remover that had made me itchy. As the vet works, Manow stays close, comforting me with soft words and gentle pats. His steady presence reassures me, and I feel a sense of calm as the vet finishes up. Thanks to Manow’s care and the vet’s attention, I start to feel better and more at ease.

 

After the vet finishes cleaning me up and making sure I’m okay, Manow carefully places me back in the tuk-tuk. As we head home, he keeps a watchful eye on me, ensuring I’m comfortable and calm. The familiar sight of our neighborhood brings a sense of relief, and I feel grateful for Manow’s kind care and the reassuring ride back to my cozy home with Fey.

 

When we finally get home, Fey greets us with a warm smile and heartfelt thanks. She expresses her gratitude to Manow for taking such good care of me and for being so patient throughout the visit. Manow, with his characteristic friendly demeanor, graciously accepts Fey’s thanks, happy to have helped. The gesture leaves me feeling appreciated and loved as I settle back into my familiar surroundings.

 

I know that Manow is the tuk-tuk driver, and he’s really skilled at his job. His tuk-tuk is not just for passengers like me but also carries various items, making him a versatile and reliable driver. Whether it's transporting people or delivering goods, Manow’s tuk-tuk handles it all with ease, and I’m grateful for the smooth ride and his care during our journey.

 

Pet delivery by tuk-tuk drivers is quite popular in Chiang Mai, and it’s known for being comfortable and convenient. The tuk-tuk’s open design provides a relaxed environment for pets, and drivers like Manow ensure a smooth ride with gentle care. This service makes it easy for pets to get to their destinations safely while keeping their owners reassured and happy.

 

I really love Manow, the tuk-tuk driver, because he always shows such kindness. He knows that I adore sunflower seeds, and he often brings them along for our rides. His thoughtful gesture makes each trip enjoyable and comforting, and I feel a special bond with him every time he shares a seed. It’s these small acts of care that make me appreciate him even more.

 

After I return home, Fey immediately gets to work cleaning my cage. She carefully removes any old bedding and replaces it with fresh, soft material, ensuring everything is spotless and comfortable. As she works, she adds a few new toys and rearranges my favorite items to make the space inviting again. Watching her take such care in making my home perfect for me fills me with gratitude and contentment.

 

I absolutely love when Fey cleans my cage. The fresh bedding and tidy environment make my home feel new and cozy. I enjoy exploring the clean space and rediscovering my favorite spots and toys. A clean cage always brings a sense of comfort and happiness, and I feel so content in my refreshed and welcoming home.

 

Fey adds a new lemon-scented hamster sand to my toilet, and it’s a refreshing change. The citrusy fragrance fills the area, making it feel clean and vibrant. I enjoy the zesty scent as I use the toilet, and it adds a pleasant, invigorating touch to my space. Fey’s thoughtful touch brightens up my cage and makes my daily routine a bit more enjoyable.

 

As I drink water from my little bottle, Fey uses her mobile phone to record a video of me. She captures the moment with a smile, enjoying the simple joy of watching me in my cozy cage. The sound of the water bottle and my tiny movements are all part of the scene, and I notice Fey’s loving attention as she documents these everyday moments. It feels nice to be the star of her video, and I appreciate the effort she puts into capturing and sharing these little pieces of our life together.

 

Fey posts the video of me drinking water on social media, and I become an unexpected sensation as the “sexy hamster” of the moment. The video captures my adorable, charming self, and it seems to make quite an impression online. I bask in the attention, knowing that Fey’s loving gesture has turned me into a little star, bringing smiles to everyone who watches and showcasing how special I am in her eyes.

 

As a fat-tailed hamster, I capture the world's heart with my unique and charming appearance. My plump, adorable tail and cheerful personality make me a beloved figure online, and people everywhere fall in love with my cuteness. Whether it's the way I waddle or how I enjoy my treats, my special traits bring joy to many, and I feel cherished and celebrated by fans around the globe.

 

As the new year comes to a close, I reflect on all the wonderful moments and the special people in my life. I love Fey deeply for all her care and the way she makes every day joyful and comfortable for me. I’m also grateful for Manow, the tuk-tuk pet delivery driver, whose kindness and thoughtful gestures always bring a smile to my face. And of course, I cherish and love myself for all the little things that make me who I am. Here’s to a new year filled with love, happiness, and many more cherished memories.

 

With love, Frida
