New Addition

Last night around 730pm our neighbor let us know that her daughter had moved out, and she had left her hamster there at her house. SOO, the neighbor showed me the hamster and me being the sucker that I am, could NOT say no, and we now have a stinky little hamster.

Around 830pm, while RC had just left to hang out with some co-workers, we (me and Neya and Rian, since Carina was ALSO out for the night) headed over to Petsmart. We got there just in time as they close at 9pm! Phew. So we walked in and realized unlike cats, dogs and fish which I know enough about I know NOTHING about Hamsters. They are defenitely a foreign animal to me! So what did we do you ask...yep, we grabbed one of the "rodent" specialists and asked away. Now we are informed as to how often to change bedding, feed, change water and what treats are good or not good...and did you know Hamsters need to excercise, so we got him a little ball so he can roam around the kitchen (the dogs are NOT a fan of the newest family member, especially when he is in his ball...rolling around).

Today we are just admiring him and I really hoping that since I am taking him on (since I know I can't rely on the kids to change his stuff out)that his cage won't get stinky. Lord knows I DO NOT want to be known as the family with the "stinky" house. So if you come over and you can smell the Hamster, PLEASE speak up and tell me...

Well here you go...feel free to also admire...
