Oh, my. Don't think I could have a hamster running through my house! LOL Glad you're all getting along though.
Years ago I got a devious, evil, Cocker Spaniel by default. Hubby said he would take care of Logan, then he got a job that required him to travel 4 days a week, and Evil Doggie didn't like me or anyone else who wasn't Kevin. We finally adopted him out after he'd bitten our baby boys twice.
My parents have cockers and they are not great with kids. Their dog is really good with my kids, but not good with other people's kids. It growls, etc. Glad you got rid of that one, nothing worse than having a dog attached to someone else who lets you know it. LOL
Oh, did I. When our youngest was in 4th grade, he came home just before summer break, saying the classroom cockatiel needed a home. He wanted me to write a note for him.
Not wanting my son to hate me over this AND figuring there were 36 kids in his classroom, what were the chances? I wrote it.
I was the ONLY parent who wrote. That free bird cost me $80 in a cage, and that was 24 years ago.
But in the end, we loved that bird. It used to do a mating dance for the hubs, who it adored. It also laid an egg! Imagine that. Obviously, it never hatched, lacking a daddy bird, but it was very entertaining.
Oh my gosh, that's a HUGE commitment, don't they live forever Ane? My daughter came home with a class crawfish once. LOL
That is adorable, Kris. I love little animals. I had guinea pigs in my early twenties. Not by default, though. All four of our cats, of course, as I've mentioned, are by default, but I think they're an answer to prayer. Little blessings that are a huge nuisance, but still...lovable. I'm certainly NEVER alone, even when I want to be. But with cats, unlike kids, I can close the sunroom door and leave them inside, noses pressed to the glass, trying to make me feel guilty.
Humphrey is so adorable!! I would LOVE to have one of those but he'd be dinner for my cat, unfortunately! :(
I used to call hamsters "rodents" too until our son left his miniature one (2 1/2 inches long as an adult!) with us when he moved to be near his love...now his wife. "Junior" lived in a fish tank and ran on his wheel every waking moment. He liked his ball but we used it only when we needed to clean his cage. (One day the ball opened and Junior was free...only to be scared witless by the big, cruel world. When DH tried to catch him, Junior literally ran into his hand!) Anyway, we had Junior until he died of old age. That little "rodent" had wiggled his way so deep into our hearts that we have not been able to get another hamster since.
Ruthie, I LOVE that story. I read it to my daughter. Thanks for sharing that, so sweet!!
LOL My mom is now an unintentional pet-person. I started rescuing cats when I was a kid and am a total animal lover.
After my relationship with my son's father failed, I ran home to mom. With my pets. We discovered my son has my "thing" for animals when he started brining the wild cats inside. LOL
Dogs, cats, lizards (including a bearded dragon), parakeets, fish, chickens ... We've had them all and love to volunteer to help them. CJ wanted a corn snake and some funny rats (their antics on the wheel were hysterical) but I had to draw the line somewhere.
We're eyeballing some horses now that we're back on the ranch. LOL
