Today we bought our hamster...its a Syrian Male called Rhino...for those of you who have seen the movie Bolt you will know where the name originates.
As we left the pet shop it reminded me slightly of the day I left Hospital after the birth of LF. I was given a care sheet and strict instructions that it needed daily feeding, water, soft bedding and the odd stroke...that was Rhino's instructions....LF also needed frequent nappy changing whereas a hamster's cage cleaning is weekly...yiiipppeee
Here's a joke for you...
What's worse than having a house full of painters and decorators???
A house with no painters and decorators!!!!
No show today and I am not happy!!! The Albanion painter's car broke down and the dog ate his homework...yeah yeah yeah...
They promise to show up tomorrow , let's see..
Meanwhile LF is taking charge!!!...see top photo!
Congrats on your new family member...did the pet shop mention what the average life span of such a creature is? I'm guessing longer than a goldfish, shorter than an elephant. Hopefully your son will love it, but not so much to where he starts writing love songs to it (like Michael Jackson did to the rat named "Ben").
ReplyDeleteYup..the lifespan bit was the only thing holding me back but hey...2 years isn't bad is it???
ReplyDeleteAt the moment LF is trying to engage Rhino in play but the wee hamster is sleeping...and making weird little noises...snoring???
