Attack of the Zhu-Zhu Pet

Quite early this morning, I could hear it and for some odd reason, it was in my room.  Actually, do any of my readers know what a Zhu-Zhu pet is?  For the blissfully unaware, they're toy hampers that have the audacity to squawk about and make noise when you play with them.  They also move, I suppose you could say, on their own accord when properly provoked. 

Why was one in my room? I have no idea, though I'm willing to bet Odin set it off.  After groping about in the dark, I figured I'd be getting up soon enough and that it'd go quiet after a while.  This wasn't good enough for E who did a little hunting about, found and pitched it down the stairs. 

When I went downstairs, said toy was nowhere to be found, perhaps a bit of a surprise since he was thrown down there but it was quiet so I didn't really care.  I want to say that my morning meditation took place, but to be honest, I was mining Obsidian and it's not very meditative for me.  Yes, yes, that does mean I find other forms of mining a form of meditation...it's perhaps a quirk of mine.

Anyhow - quiet ensued, save for bounces from the frolicking cat..and then I jumped out of my skin.  The hamster started his squawk, bringing about a laugh from me as his garbling made way for the complaint "Hey, put me down!"  It was fitting since Odin was walking around with it in his mouth. 

I couldn't help but join him at the entryway and upright the hamster which was frantically trying to roll around so i set up upright.  Perhaps if it weren't 5am, Odin would have made chase...as it was, he merely watched a moment, eyes wide before stalking back upstairs.
