One of Our Hamsters Died...

Well, we had 4 hamsters moving into this year. Puffball the mama died on Jan. 16th..the day our power went out and The daddy hamster died last night. I think it's name was either comet or buddy. Micah changed his name 2 or 3 times over his 1 year and 10 month lifespan. They were sad, but not broken up about this hamster. Micah's response was, "yes I am sad, but he was old for a hamster."

They still have 2 left. Both of them are over a year and a half and they will probably not make it more than 6 months. At that point, you have to make a decision...what is the next step for you as a family and pets. Do you go back to the more simplier approach of a hamster or do you go deeper with the addition of a cat or dog?

On another note.. I tried convincing my boys today was Easter. It did not work. To many variables. For one, they had to go to school today and Easter is on Sunday. Of course Micah knew that I knew that he knew that it wasn't Easter.
