Welcoming Lucy 3.0!

by Meg on June 28, 2007

Lucy3_0001Lucy 3.0, the latest spokeshamster over at HamsterTracker.com has arrived! HamsterTracker tracks the incredible distance hams cover in a specially-crafted wheel.

According to Mathijs Van Der Pauw (yes, paw!) Lucy 3.0 is a healthy bebeh girl ham, just 5 weeks old, adopted from the local ham adoption center. (hee!)

Please note Lucy, below, in her travel box from the adoption center to Mathijs house. Check Mathijs thumb compare to Lucy 3.0’s size. Hilare!

I hope she is an active ham, Mathijs! We’re looking forward to watching her progress. ;)

Our first lookat Lucy Three Yayyyy!

[now I'm busy imagining what a "lookat" might be, which is a bit worrying, but it wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened... - Ed.]

The world is once again whole, with a Lucy for Mathijs to show us all!

5 Kristin 06.28.07 at 9:09 pm

My 85 pound yellow lab is named Lucy. I would love to see the two Lucy’s side by side. :)

Kristin, no offense to your Lucy, but I fear that if we did put the two Lucys side by side, we’d end up with only one Lucy, and nobody wants that.

*giggle* But, it’d be one HUGE hammy!

7 Lizzums 06.28.07 at 9:13 pm

Yes, it was bad, I know.

8 michii 06.28.07 at 9:13 pm

yay!! I <3 Lucy!

9 Redzilla 06.28.07 at 9:15 pm

Gorsh, it’s just like with the iPod–each new generation is even smaller than the previous one. Congrats Mathijs on your new baby!

10 Shannon 06.28.07 at 9:15 pm

Please pass my congrats on to Mathijs. I am happy for him and his new addition! Gawd – they’re cute.

Yaaaaaaaaay!! Awesomely great news!! 5 weeks old… such a li’l darlin’! Wonder if she has any idea how lucky she is to have Mathijs as a human daddy? :)

14 Sweetmisery 06.28.07 at 9:48 pm

Lucy 3. What a tiny little girl.

15 musicchick2 06.28.07 at 10:22 pm

Annie – Well, there is a LookAt! Over on the IBM site. Check it: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/lookat/
Don’t ask me what it is though. ;-)

16 book_monstercats 06.28.07 at 10:22 pm

Metsakins, you got there before me. Awwwwwwwwwwwww…

17 musicchick2 06.28.07 at 10:23 pm

Oops.. I see that my comment should have been addressed to Theo. My bad….

18 Driver B 06.28.07 at 10:31 pm

Lucy 3.0 is anerable! So sweet!

19 Furbabies 06.28.07 at 10:37 pm

I want to see Lucy eat her first broccoli!

20 jenne 06.28.07 at 11:09 pm

OMG I cannot believe I saw the word HILARE in print! My best friend and I invented that word (or so we thought) about 25 years ago when we were in junior high. It’s been our inside joke ever since. Too funny that someone else uses it. HILARE in fact!

21 Annie 06.28.07 at 11:10 pm

Musicchick2-hehe- not only is there a LookAt but there are 8 versions and a Mobile LookAt.

Ahem.. Actually (Blushes) I was typing fast and posted with out proof reading..

22 Robbie 06.28.07 at 11:20 pm

Awww, congratulations on your new furry pal! That’s one lucky ham!

23 jen 06.29.07 at 1:13 am

welcome lucy. awww she’s a cutie.

24 Yitzysmommie 06.29.07 at 3:00 am

Yay = after the sad news from the CatCave, it is a deelight to meet Lucy 3.0. I wonder if she’s had her first cheesburger yet? (I will return to CO tout suite after a diversion to HamsterTracker!)

25 The Chipnotizer 06.29.07 at 5:58 am

It’s unanimous!!! No controversy!!! Lucy 3.0 is adorable and everyone is happy to see her!!! So happy Mathijs adopts instead of raising “Super Hams” that can run “faster, better, longer”!!! I love her!!!

26 Snorga 06.29.07 at 8:55 am

Yay for Lucy 3.0! I was so sad when Lucy 2.0 died. She was such a pretty, sweet little hammie. And her owner Mathijs was so broken up about it.

Many people don’t realize how wonderful hamsters are to have as pets. They’re low-maintenance, inexpensive, and if you give them a good home they can give you hours of entertainment. They may not play fetch, but they can crawl all over you, and it’s so cute!

Mathijs is so wonderful to see–he cares about his hammies so much. I only hope that I can make sure my hamster Phadeus is just as happy as his Lucys have been. He inspired me to set up my own tracker! Check out Phadeus’ blog: http://www.xanga.com/Phadeus

A pauw is a peacock, not a paw :P It’s a cute little hamster though!

28 Loris 06.29.07 at 12:26 pm

Am I the only one who went green with envy at the phrase “his local ham adoption center”? I doubt we even have a regional ham adoption centre. Is this a common thing in the Netherlands? If so, I am going to live there right now.

29 Mikeyfur 06.29.07 at 12:28 pm

Welcome, Lucy 3.0! So happy to have the next generation ready to run and make us smile!

30 LisaN 06.29.07 at 12:37 pm

Aw, she’s so tiny. She look so timid. can’t wait to see her runnin’ around.

31 Wendy 06.29.07 at 2:41 pm

re: Ham Adoption Center

Often there are abandoned hams at your local shelter, or on CraigsList. I got my last hamster from a shelter and while at first a little standoffish from early neglect he was just as active and climby as any other ham. He lived 2 years with me.

Now I have a bunny (also adopted from a shelter)

32 Subhangi 06.29.07 at 2:56 pm

Awwwwwwwwwww.

Sooooo teeeny.

33 ceejoe 06.29.07 at 4:38 pm

my guinea pig brothers were adopted from my local humane society! Call your local shelters first – before you “buy!”

34 Shannon Johnson 06.29.07 at 5:24 pm

Hams are cool. I would love to have one as a pet.

35 Loves Cute 06.29.07 at 7:26 pm

Hi lil Lucy 3.0!!

I hope you have a fabulously long and happy life!!

36 Annie 06.30.07 at 3:33 pm

Just to reitterate a point above before you go buying at the pet store for any animal cat dog bunny hamster mouse even horse goat or donkey check your local shelter. Shelters have a wide variety of animals in theri care many at foster homes so check there first.
