Peace

As the season begins to change, I like this reminder to have peace.  😊  Laurelin must not have been feeling much peace in this moment because she shoved the pecans into her cheeks as fast as she could.  Hahaha!

Tarmund is just so tiny and cute!  I really like his furry paws!  😍

Sunflowers

It's Fall!  I got these sunflowers as a part of the decorations I did for a session, and I thought it would be cute to have the hamsters pose with them.  Laurelin, of course, was so perfect and adorable as she sat and ate her lettuce!

In case you don't remember me saying before, Tarmund doesn't really stand in one spot for any amount of time.  So these are the best pictures I got of him!  😬  He's definitely making me work more on my skills and techniques, so I appreciate the challenge he gives me.  Also, one striking difference between dwarf hamsters and syrian hamsters is that syrian hamsters will rarely go potty outside of their enclosures while dwarf hamsters poop anywhere and everywhere constantly.  I bring that up as a reminder to myself that each time I get Tarmund out, I gotta do a walk through of all the places he has been to clean up after him.  😂

Pretty Colors

I love these pretty colors together!  I had fun with this tiny set-up in my studio.  I let Laurelin explore the bowl by herself, and she immediately jumped out.  I put her back in and decided to let the kitten join her.  The kitten spent most of the time sniffing the blankets, but finally started sniffing Laurelin too.  😂  They are pretty cute together.  Maybe they will actually be friends.  😊  By the way, when I first brought the kitten home, she weighed 125 grams which is about 75 grams less than what Laurelin weighs.  Now the kitten has grown a lot to nearly 380 grams.

Tarmund is seriously so sweet now!  I can't get over the complete change of heart he had since I got him.  Now that I have earned his trust, he doesn't bite and doesn't mind being picked up.  He is still difficult to photograph because he rarely pauses or stops; he is always on the move.  I was SO happy he paused though to eat the walnut so I could get these adorable pictures!  😍

Tarmund's first session!

This was Tarmund's first time out of his tank for a photo shoot!  This was actually so long ago, I don't remember when I took these.  😳  Tarmund is doing well, and despite the fact that he doesn't get as much attention anymore since there's a kitten in the house, he is still so sweet when he does get attention.  He doesn't bite me anymore which is great!  Hopefully I can get more pictures of him soon.  😁

Lamb

Isn't this little lamb just the cutest thing?!!?  I LOVE that Laurelin nibbled on it's ear!  😍  I seriously can't handle the cuteness!  💗

Tiny Bed

I found the tiny bed and had to let Laurelin try it out.  She fills up the whole thing, but she really liked it!  I'm pretty sure she could smell previous hamsters.  She scratched and sniffed for a bit and then settled into it.  She's so cute!  😍

Tarmund's Babies

I got to see Tarmund's babies today!  They are all so much bigger than they were the last time I saw them.  We got the 7 youngest babies divided up into two groups.  There were only two males and they seemed happy to have so much space to themselves.  The 5 females are still with their mom for now.  Many of them have new homes which they will be going to starting tomorrow and some are staying.  😂  I didn't take pictures of all of them, but I think I got most of them.  They are all SO cute!  😍

This is Pig, also known as Mama.

This one was my favorite of the little girls.  She's sweet and has a pretty white ring around her neck.

Not actually sure which one this is, but I think it is the runt which was also a very sweet female.

I think this is a different female.  There are three that are nearly identical except for one which has a small white dot on her tummy.  I think this is the girl with the extra white dot, but I don't remember for sure.

This is the older male from the first litter named Parkour.

This is another of the baby females which might be the same as the second or this might be the third one.  I really can't tell them apart and might have done pictures of one twice.  Hahaha

This is a baby boy who was very sweet!
