Sometimes I really wonder how I became such a sucker! My daughter (5 and a half years old) has been begging for a hamster lately. So today I finally caved in. I bought all the hamster stuff at Petsmart and then went to Petco to get the hamster (Petsmart only had males). The lady at Petco was pretty hesitant about selling a hamster to a little kid because they tend to bite (hard!). But Amy was adimant, and I had already told her yes. So the lady went to get the hamsters out of their cages, and they were really, really hacked off! They actually hissed like cats and then tried to bite her. She was wearing a glove, thankfully. When Amy saw that, she wasn't so sure about a hamster.
So the lady said how about a rat. Amy and I are both saying "No way, no rats!" Adam of course (he's 3) thought a rat was a great idea. Eventually, she convinces us to hold a rat, and she was really sweet and didn't bite at all. So I ended up buying the rat, a tank for her to live in, and all the accessories.
I'm such a sucker. I wonder if hubby will stay married to me after he hears about this...
Amy named the rat Flower. She's very cute, white with a black head and black spots going down her back. She's only a couple months old, so she's young enough to train.
So, call me crazy...
