Assistant Niko

Is ready to answer any of your emails.

First things first, gotta type my name...
Aaaaand reach - okay 'N' is easy enough, but how do I reach the "i" "k" and "o"?
Ahhhh, climb on top of the keyboard, much better :)

Prepping for Halloween

I've been getting my own costume together for Halloween (which rocks btw), so of course I have to help Niko out with his too! To test out a costume idea, I made it out of paper first:

And then to put it on the hedgehog. The spiky hedgehog. The spiky balled up hedgehog. Yeah, that took a bit of engineering to figure out how to actually get the costume on him, and will need some tweaks to make it stay on... but OMG SO CUTE!

I love Niko :)

Spiky Birthday

I recently had my birthday, and Niko's birthday is coming up. So obviously, this was the year of the "spiky birthday" complete with hedgehog shaped cupcakes:

Also: my coworker's daughter made this awesome party hat for Niko. Awesome.

Niko: I can't believe you're subjecting me to this...

Zombie Niko

(as the townfolk look on in fear)
Watch out, what's that over there...

It... it's licking the buildings...

OMG it's Zombie Niko, everyone run!!!
(and so it was, the Last Night on Earth)

Where's Niko's Log?

As you'll notice in the last post, Niko's log currently isn't in his cage, but it is on my coffee table for him to chill. He's been very odd with his mealworms lately - the other night he ate one but then just nudged at a second one while it made at least 3 laps around the log.

Niko: *nom nom nom*

Niko: "hmm, I wonder if there are more.."

Niko: "oh, hai food!"

Niko: "what you say, look other there?"

Niko: "wait, where'd the food go?"

Niko: "food?"

Silly Siili

Being fall, I put Niko's fleece bed back into his cage so he can stay warm. Of course, he has yet to sleep in it; let's see where he actually naps. Is he under his duckie blanket?

No... and his bed is empty too. But wait, what's that bump in the cage liner?

There you are Niko!

My cutie Niko who sneaks to eat a snack from his food bowl while still under the blankie and cage liner (if only I could snap a photo of that!)

It was bound to happen...

Just cuddling with Niko after his bath...

careful with the spikes there buddy.

Side note: I think if this were to be on CuteOverload, it'd be called spikes 'n' racks (categorized under the cats 'n' racks section of course).
