So remember how I mentioned a few posts back that Katie wanted to buy a baby chicken? Well, somehow Maddy and her decided that a hamster would be better. They combined their money and BEGGED me to take them to the pet store and look at the hamsters. I don't know what I was thinking. I do not like animals. They want attention, they stink, and... they stink. I think I must have fallen in the shower that day and hit my head because, we came home with a hamster!
Meet Fred. I admit he is cute...
I know there is poop and pee in that cage. I am obsessed with the idea
that my house might smell like a hamster. I have
Scentys all over the place - and, I swear, I can still smell him. Everyone
that comes to my house says, "Wow, your house sure does smell like cinnamon." (
Cinnamon and Clove
Scentsy bars...)
Here are Fred's cage mates. I have recently added a
Scentsy spray to the mix. Can a hamster die of candle fumes? Can you imagine it? DEATH BY
SCENTSY... I had better be careful, my kids read this.
Look at those faces! After recovering from my mysterious head trauma, I still can't say no to these babies. (There is a 14 day return policy, I could give Fred the boot if I really wanted to), but I won't because I love my girls and they love Fred.

i love it! Can we come over and see it? Nathan really wants a hamster so if fred is turns out to be a girl...........
Fred is pretty cute, and spoiled...that is one fancy cage! I understand your reservations about having an animal in the house, I'm overly clean and am always paranoid my house smells like dog (but pets are so fun!) In my younger years, I sprayed a pet hamster with perfume, and the next morning he woke up dead, and a strange shade of green (at least he smelled good). But as long as Fred doesn't ingest any scentsy, I think he'll be just fine.
Congratulations on your new family member! I bet Pat loves having another male in the house. :-)
My kids had every living creature known to man for pets. Some of them they caught themselves. My favorite had to be the escaped snakes, one of which was slithering through my house for days without my knowledge. And then there were the rats, the spider, the lizard, the tree frogs . . . need I go on?
This affirms my suspicions that you are the best mom! Who cleans that cage?
There are much worse pets than a gerbil. NEVER GET A GUINEA PIG. They are the worst at stink. My poor mother did endure many pets, several that escaped. UGH! Too bad they can't just be satisfied with Grandma Diane's dogs.
I LOVEEEEEEEE FRED!~ And his amazing CASTLE! LOL! Good for you! I have decided after many months of having an animal that it is TOTALLY worth it! My little ladies think that having a pet is even better than candy, lol!
I am happy to hear you have opened your home to Fred. Don't feed him carrots, it makes them bloat, and don't ask me how I know that. I am also impressed with your tastes in Scentsy burners, I have one just like it!
