A few weeks ago I was sound asleep, and became mildly aware of something soft and moist slithering up my neck and my cheek. At first I thought I was having an erotic dream and tried to ignore this sensation so as to continue with the dream. :-) But the sensation persisted and then I could feel something sniffing my ear. Then I remembered the tarantula scene in Connery's "You Only Live Twice", but ruled out a large spider. Finally I awoke with a start and flung whatever it was off of me. Moments later I discovered a startled but unharmed long haired hamster of my daughter's which had ingeniously figured out an escape route from it's cage and had found me. I laughed like hell upon the realization and now its cage is twist tied all over once we all hit the hay.
