This, is not the real Timmy. But a very good representation thereof.
The day before yesterday, my husband took my son out for "Boys Day". While they were waiting to see "The Shaggy Dog", they ventured into the pet store at the mall.
I got a phone call shortly thereafter saying "Mommy - can I get a hamster? Please.......?". Of course - I had to say yes.
I'm so glad my children took after my love of animals.
So, we have this very, very affectionate baby blonde teddy bear hamster named "Timmy". He loves to come and sniff your nose when you peer into the cage, and in the two and a half short days that we've had him, he's grown to love little hands (and big hands) reaching in to pat him while he runs on his wheel. This morning, he even climbed into my hand and sat there.
He's got such kind eyes, and is so gentle - which hamsters are not always so agreeable to being handled. And my son is just thrilled - as is my daughter.
So now, our menagerie is Brandy the Jack Russell; Rocky Marciano Crusher the Betta; and Timmy the Hamster.
I think we should be good for now!

Hi Gemma -
Thanks for stopping by! :) Pets are wonderful for children; the only downside is that their life span is so short.

Thats one thing I'm glad about--that my parents allowed us to learn responsibility by getting pets while we were young. Great write-up.
have a great weekend.
Hi, I've been reading your blog for a while now, just havent commented yet. I bought my daughter a hamster for Christmas and a week later we had 6 baby hamsters!!!!! Apparently the male(?)hamster they sold us was a female and pregnant!!!
Oh by the way, I'll be listening for you on Monday night! I'm also from the Boston area.
