The girls got hamsters this weekend. They are NOT REAL! (My favorite kind of pet.) Emma spent some of her Birthday money and Ellie spent some of her allowance. We found them at Cracker Barrel. Ellie had been asking if we could get a puppy. I said, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Then she said, what about a hamster or a gold fish. Ugh... I have enough to take care of. When we found those I thought, hmmm, no feeding, no watering, no cleaning cages, no cleaning up accidents, no vet bills, no figuring out what to do with them when we go out of town, and best of all, no telling my kids their disposable pets died... Sure, why not! They are really cute and the girls have been having a ball. Ellie's was only $7.00 and it came with a ball that the hamster can roll around in. Emma's was $10.00 and it came with a hamster wheel. You can put the wheel in the stand and it can be stationary or you can take it off the stand and it can roll around the house. You can also take them out of the wheel or ball and let them crawl around the house. I need to remember Cracker Barrel when Birthdays and Christmas rolls around.
Ellie named her hamster Buddy and Emma named hers Harry the Hamster. This morning the girls played out on the deck with their furry little friends. The deck's still not finished, but at least it's dry.
