A couple of definitions for escapade: Any carefree episode or a mischeivious act or adventure. (How fitting for Castle Cutie!)

We got home this afternoon from a weekend at the lake house only to discover that Castle Cutie has escaped- again! She escaped a few days ago. We purchased an attachment for her cage to give her a wee bit more room a few weeks ago. Petco didn't have much of a selection of supplies but we bought a cute little school bus. Well somehow the bottom of her attachment came apart and she escaped that way the first time. This time around my rigging wasn't so great. I don't have the proper fittings to close off the tubes and make them secure. We looked for her a bit with no luck. I was just about to set out some food and a device to lure her back in when I went into our master bathroom to check it out. I turned on the light and first noticed a really disqusting smear of stuff on the bottom of the tub. What is that I said? Did the kids empty the shampoo? Then I noticed her near the drain trying to open her eyes in the bright light. Apparently the bathtub makes a good hampster cage as well. She couldn't climb back out. I went and got her cage and put it in the tub and let her recover. I am too grossed out to clean the tub or her cage yet!
