Our new member of the family

Last month, we inherited a cute little furr-ball. Actually, she's not little by any means. She's quite large for a hamster, but we love her and are trying to be good first parents by limiting her food intake. She seems to have adjusted well, and so have we. We love watching her and usually let her out in the evening to run around our tiny apartment. We've only lost her twice, and have found her both times. The first time, she found her way into a heating vent and we were quite nervous thinking she would get into the walls. We could hear her but not see her. Adam finally had to take the vent off, and she thankfully came running out on her own. We were thankful too, a lost hamster that died in our walls would be a terrible thing to explain.

Love at first site

There she was. Out of the dark she appeared, where she came from I don't know but she was beautiful. I don't know how I had gone this long without her, how could I have accomplished all of the great feats that I had, without her by my side. I didn't yet know how I was going to afford all of the things that she was going to need down the road. I wasn't sure I could even take proper care of her, it would be a huge responsibility but I had to have her no matter the cost. So now, knowing all I had to go through I would do it all over again. I am so thankful I didn't wait to long or someone else would have taken this beautiful prize away from me.
