Whenever we're at the pet store the kids always beg to buy a new hamster. (the last one died 2 years ago) I always tell them that if they wanted one so bad that they would remember this when they're at home and clean out the old cage.And until they did that I wouldn't buy one. Well guess what? They cleaned the cage today. :bang:

So yippee! I get to go hamster shopping. :roll: The good news is they are fine about sharing one dwarf hamster thus sharing the resposibilities. :lol:

Oh, and they've already picked out the name. First we had Nibbles, then came Cuddles and our new arrival...::

drum roll::...Snuggles.

AAAWWWW how cute!!
Just lost my little buddy last October and to be honest I had never had one, never wanted one. But this chubby little thing need 'rescued' b/c someone was going to set it free in the woods. Two years later I still had "DustBunny". She was a hoot, not afraid of the cats (they didnt know what she was) or the dog and would shake her cage door when you walked by and she hadnt had her daily piece of cheez. Came home one afternoon, talked to her while she was eating, washed the dishes, went back to give her her cheez snack and her feet were in the air

Side Note: Do you know how hard it is to give a hamster CPR? Where the heck is the sternum!?!?!?!? :idontno:

We might be getting another one sooner than I really wanted. I always like to have a little break in between animals but Sam's sunday school teacher just had a mess of baby dwarf hamsters. Sam told her if Lewis dies then she'd take one. So I'm better we will have a new fur baby this weekend.
