Things are going fine. I have discovered that Zoe is also concerned about the lack of romance in her life. She is hoping to meet a young, good-looking male monster (human). This is a forlorn hope in my opinion, because they're all butt ugly!!! I hope that she does not decide to team up with Mullet-Head. That would be really awful!

Zoe's cave is a lot nicer than Mullet-Head's was. Much less dirt and dust. I have now explored the whole area, with the exception of some of the highest escarpments which are difficult to reach.

Zoe has been buying hamster treats. Very good. She also plays the flute and entertains me. Agatha is now having some kind of dream. She's twitching nervously. Probably she is imagining stalking a dust bunny, but loses her nerve at the last moment. :-) Agatha has refined timidity to a fine art.

Zoe is thinking of acquiring a budgie. I think that's a great idea, but I would prefer a female hamster. We'll see what happens. Budgies are good for being lookouts and watching for non-Agatha type Cats.

Zoe reads romance novels. They usually have a picture on the cover of a very muscular male monster clutching a female monster in a passionate embrace. I have no idea what she gets from reading that nonsense, but she seems to like it. You can't get such books about hamsters. Perhaps I should write one.
