Hamster Hopper chapter 8

Welcome to Chapter 8 of the ‘Hamster Hopper’ podcast!

Good morning, Tuesday! This is Frida, the fat-tailed hamster, starting her day with boundless energy. Nestled comfortably in her cage, she eagerly hops onto her exercise wheel, her tiny paws moving rhythmically as she races in delight. The wheel spins with a soft, steady squeak, and Frida’s whiskers twitch with excitement as she enjoys her morning routine. The cheerful burst of activity sets a lively tone for the day, embodying the joyful spirit of Pink Day as she embraces her playful start to the day.

 

As Fey checks her social media this Tuesday morning, she is thrilled to see that Frida has made it to the top of the hashtags. The adorable hamster’s recent antics and charming moments have captured the hearts of many, making her a trending topic. Fey gleefully shows off the post to Frida, who is currently spinning on her wheel. With a playful grin, Fey highlights how "hot" and popular Frida has become online, showcasing her beloved pet’s newfound internet fame. The buzz around Frida adds an extra layer of joy to the day, making it a special and celebratory moment for both Fey and her charming little star.

 

As Fey excitedly shares Frida's viral social media success, the little hamster seems to sense the commotion and tries to convey her own feelings. With a playful twitch of her whiskers and a curious tilt of her head, Frida makes a subtle attempt to communicate that she’s aware of her newfound fame and beauty. In her own way, she seems to say, “I know I’m beautiful,” and perhaps even suggests that Fey should take a breath and calm down from all the excitement. Frida’s composed demeanor amidst the frenzy adds a touch of humor and grace to the moment, reminding Fey to enjoy the fun and not get too carried away.

 

Victoria, the owner of a popular hamster food shop, sends an enthusiastic message to Fey. She writes, “Hi Fey! I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been following Frida’s adorable antics and am absolutely charmed by her! I’d love to offer Frida the exciting opportunity to be the presenter for our pet food brand. We believe her cuteness and popularity would be perfect for promoting our products. If you’re interested, let’s discuss how we can make this happen. Looking forward to your response!”

 

Fey, thrilled by Victoria’s offer, immediately agrees and decides to arrange everything for Frida’s new role as a pet food brand presenter. She calls Manow, the ever-reliable tuk-tuk driver, to ask if he can help with transportation for the upcoming promotional events. Manow, always ready to assist, enthusiastically responds, “Of course, Fey! I’m always free for Frida. Just let me know when and where, and I’ll be there to help out.” His supportive and flexible attitude makes it even easier for Fey to coordinate Frida’s exciting new opportunity.

 

Victoria promptly replies to Fey’s enthusiastic acceptance, emphasizing the need to move quickly on the new partnership. “Great to hear you’re on board, Fey! Let’s get this rolling as fast as we can. I’ll send over the details of the agreement. Once you review and sign it, we’ll transfer the payment for Frida’s role. Looking forward to seeing her in action!”

 

Fey reviews the agreement, clarifies the payment details with Victoria, and finalizes the contract. After signing and completing the transfer, she confirms everything is set. With the administrative tasks out of the way, it’s now up to Manow and Frida to complete their part of the job. Manow is ready to provide transportation, and Frida is set to shine as the new face of Victoria’s pet food brand, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

 

Manow drives his tuk-tuk to Fey's home, navigating through the bustling streets with his usual care and efficiency. Upon arrival, he carefully lifts Frida's cage into the tuk-tuk, ensuring it's securely positioned for the ride. With Frida comfortably nestled inside, Manow sets off, the gentle hum of the tuk-tuk engine mingling with the excitement of the new venture. As they make their way to the first promotional event, the vibrant cityscape of Chiang Mai provides a lively backdrop for this new chapter in Frida’s journey, with Manow’s dependable assistance making the trip smooth and enjoyable.

 

As the tuk-tuk rumbles along, Frida, feeling a bit apprehensive about the unfamiliar journey, tugs nervously at her cage. Noticing her distress, Manow turns around with a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Frida,” he says softly, trying to calm her with his gentle tone. “We’re almost there, and everything will be just fine.” His comforting words and steady presence help ease Frida’s anxiety, making the ride more pleasant and setting a positive tone for the exciting day ahead.

 

As they approach their destination, Manow calls Victoria to confirm their arrival. Victoria answers with enthusiasm, providing details about the studio where they’ll be shooting the advertisement. “Hi Manow, we’re almost ready for you!” she says. “The studio is all set up for the shoot. It’s a spacious space with various backdrops and props to highlight Frida. We’ve also got a team ready to assist with lighting and camera work. Just bring Frida in and we’ll get started right away. Looking forward to seeing you both!” Victoria’s detailed update helps Manow and Frida prepare for the upcoming shoot, adding an extra layer of excitement to their adventure.

 

Manow carefully delivers Frida to Victoria at the studio, ensuring she is settled and ready for her big moment. After handing over the cage, he takes a seat in the waiting area, content to be patient while Victoria and her team work on the advertisement. For the next two hours, Manow relaxes, checking his phone and enjoying a cup of tea as he waits.

 

When the shoot wraps up, Victoria personally brings Frida back to Manow, who greets her with a warm smile. “Great job, Frida!” Victoria says, petting the little hamster gently. Manow takes Frida back to the tuk-tuk, ready to transport her home. With the successful completion of the ad shoot, both Frida and Manow head back, their day marked by a productive and rewarding experience.

 

After returning home, Fey sends the agreed payment to Manow as a token of gratitude for his assistance. When Manow checks his phone and sees the amount, his eyes widen in surprise. “Oh, this is such a generous tip!” he exclaims, clearly pleased with the extra appreciation. His gratefulness shines through as he thanks Fey for her kindness, acknowledging the extra effort he made to ensure Frida’s successful day. The positive gesture further strengthens their friendly relationship, making the day’s success even more rewarding for everyone involved.

 

Feeling pleased with the day’s events and eager to show his appreciation for Frida, Manow heads to the pet market. As he strolls through the aisles, he remembers how much Frida loves cheese worms, the special treat she enjoyed so much. He picks up a generous supply of these delightful snacks, knowing they’ll make Frida’s day even better. With a satisfied smile, Manow completes his shopping, eager to surprise Frida with her favorite treat and ensure she continues to have a joyful and well-cared-for life.

 

Upon arriving home, Fey decides to indulge Frida with a delightful surprise. She carefully fills Frida’s cage with a generous amount of cheese worms, creating a cozy, snack-filled haven. When Frida returns to her cage, she’s overjoyed by the abundance of her favorite treat. With a contented squeak, she burrows into the pile of cheese worms, snuggling comfortably among them. The soft, squirmy texture of the cheese worms creates a warm and inviting bed for Frida, who happily drifts off to sleep, surrounded by her beloved snacks. The sight of Frida peacefully resting amidst the treats is a heartwarming end to a busy day.

 

Fey beams with joy as she watches Frida peacefully nestled among her cheese worms, a testament to the success of their recent venture. Seeing Frida thrive as a pet star and enjoying the fruits of their labor fills her with immense satisfaction. The successful advertisement shoot not only highlighted Frida's charm but also brought in a nice financial reward. With the extra money in hand, Fey feels a sense of accomplishment and happiness, knowing that her beloved pet has become a star and that their hard work has paid off. The combination of Frida’s success and the financial gain makes this a truly rewarding moment for Fey.

 

Feeling inspired by Frida's success and the positive financial outcome, Fey starts dreaming about expanding her pet star enterprise. She envisions how adding more pets could create even more opportunities for captivating advertisements and social media content. With the idea of turning multiple pets into stars, Fey imagines a vibrant world of charming animals, each with their own unique appeal, contributing to a growing brand and generating additional income. The prospect of nurturing a diverse array of pet personalities excites her, and she begins planning how to find and showcase new furry talents, eager to build on the success she’s already achieved.

 

Fey calls Manow, who answers with his usual cheerful tone. "Hi Manow, are you free to chat?" she asks.

 

“Of course, Fey! I’m free to talk,” Manow replies warmly.

 

Fey then asks for his advice on acquiring new pets. “I’m thinking about expanding and adding more pets to turn into stars. What types of pets do you think would be great to buy?”

 

Manow thinks for a moment and suggests, “How about considering pets with unique characteristics or personalities? Hamsters are great, but maybe you could look into other small animals like guinea pigs or rabbits. They’re popular and have distinct traits that could make for engaging content. Plus, they’re friendly and often well-loved by people. Whatever you choose, I’m sure they’ll add a lot of charm to your growing pet star lineup!”

 

Fey expresses her interest in getting a Maine Coon cat, noting their popularity and striking appearance. “What do you think about adding a Maine Coon cat to the mix? They’re so popular and would be a great addition,” she asks.

 

Manow, though supportive, raises a concern. “I understand why you’d want a Maine Coon; they’re fantastic pets and quite popular. However, considering Frida’s safety, it might be best to avoid larger pets like Maine Coons. They can be quite active and might not be the best companions for a small hamster like Frida. It’s important to ensure that any new pets you bring in are safe and comfortable for everyone in your pet family.”

 

Fey appreciates Manow’s thoughtful advice and acknowledges the importance of maintaining a harmonious and secure environment for all her pets.

 

Fey, eager to add a new cat to her family while ensuring Frida’s well-being, decides to discuss the possibility with Manow. “I’m thinking about getting a new cat, but I want to make sure Frida remains safe and comfortable. Would it be alright if I brought Frida to your place while I introduce the new cat at home?” she asks.

 

Manow, always supportive, responds warmly, “Of course, Fey! You can bring Frida to my place anytime. I’ll make sure she’s well cared for and comfortable while you handle the new cat introduction. It’s important to make sure everyone gets along smoothly and stays safe.”

 

Fey appreciates Manow’s willingness to help, knowing that his support will make the transition easier for both Frida and the new cat.

 

Fey updates Manow about Frida's next big opportunity. “Manow, Victoria has asked Frida to do a live selling event for her pet food products tomorrow. It’s a great chance for Frida to showcase her star power and promote the brand,” she explains.

 

Manow, always enthusiastic and supportive, responds, “That sounds fantastic! I’m sure Frida will do an amazing job. I’m happy to help with anything you need for the event. Just let me know the details and I’ll be there to support you and Frida.”

 

Fey feels relieved and excited, knowing that with Manow’s help, the live selling event will go smoothly and be a great success.
