We have two new members of our family. Jen & Speckles
We have been fighting getting hamsters for quite sometime - there's something to be said about how kids are like wind & water - that after a time - they can wear you down!Hannah did use her own money (We were not paying for rodents that we didn't want to begin with). So, she had won some tickets to a Britney Spears concert and when she found out that they cost $125 each!! She wasted no time having me find someone to purchase them. Suddenly she had all the money she needed for her new wards (dwarf hamsters). I am just hoping that they really are both females!! If not - well I hope you all have room in your hearts for new companions too!
One of our main concerns was the fact that Katie is a HUGE squirrel chaser!! What more could she ask for from the family than tasty morsels brought home for her!! I think she is truly smiling in this picture!! (THANKS MOM!!)
But, she was surprisingly gentle with them. Hannah even had Sepckles crawling on her belly at one point. Not sure I would leave her home to critter-sit for me - but I don't feel as if we purchased pill pockets (you know... little treats you use to give your dog medicine!! LOL)
But actually they are kind of cute watching them burrow around and hide food.
So, what does Leo think? "Would you do it for TWO Scooby Snacks?"
ReplyDeleteYou're very brave to get hamsters! I think I'd need a lot of wearing down to get me to that point. I hope the kids get to enjoy them and that the dog doesn't eat them!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the new background!!
