Pigs just flew. . and Hell froze over . .

I have allowed rodents as pets in my home!!! I know . . ewwwh! Here's the story: Jayden has been saving his money - over a hundred dollars and researching hamsters for the last month. . .not to mention the constant badgering, showing us pictures on the internet and facts and homes and knew when they ate, played, etc! Finally, he broke us! So here he is-- "Snoopy"- named after Kerry's favorite childhood dog (oh, yea pulling at those heart strings). The story continues. . . so then, Kyler wanted Snoopy's "brother" - the one that was in the cage with him at the pet store. Originally, I said ok -as long as they shared the cage . . .well, Kerry comes home with another hamster AND a new home kit (apparantly hamsters can't share a home they eat each others heads off -- nice!). . . I said, "WHAT?" - and he said - Kyler looked at him with his little trimbling lip and puppy dog eyes and he couldn't say no -- so here we are with TWO hamsters! Meet "Nibbles" - named after a character on Tom and Jerry.


No-- we did not get a third - I draw the line at that! We told Evan you had to be 7 to have a hamster:). . . Evan is allowed to see the hamsters only at certain times (per his brothers) but, he so wants to be "uncle Evan"-- you can see he hasn't quite mastered holding them yet - and really, I don't want them out of their cage anyway!
