This is Lookathimgo!. Hi lived at home
with us in an aquarium with a wire penthouse top. During the day he would
hide, during the night, just as soon as the lights went out, and we went
to bed, he would get in his wheel and run, and run, and run.
Bailey's (the Q.C. cat) favorite pastime was sitting on a pile of pillows
and watching Lookathimgo. He would sit there for hours at a time. Sometimes
they even sniffed nose to nose through the wire top on Lookathimgo's
house.
We got our mouse accidentally. A very young mousie, he caught himself in a gallon jar in
our cupboard. We kept him in the jar for a while and called him Jiffy
Pop, as he kept jumping to get out. A week later we got a better set-up
for him. A few days later we added a wheel for him to run in. Within 30 seconds of seeing
the wheel he was in it running and we both said "look at him go!".
Over the next few days several other folks saw the mouse running in the
wheel and said the same exact thing, "look at him go!". Guess
how he got his name....
This web page was originally made while Lookathimgo was still running
around in his house of glass and wire. Those days are long gone and Lookathimgo
runs no more.
Alas, Bailey has seen his days come to an end also.. |
