Hamsters are a favorite pet for some kids and Gabi is one of those kids. Yep, Gabi got a new hamster that she named, “Tiger Lilly”. What a name for a little hamster. You may need to know that there is a cat in their house. Cats think of hamsters as lunch.
They had one of those balls that you place the hamster inside, which allows the rodent to have the run of the house. Tiger Lilly was in the ball having a good time. She ventured into the utility room unattended by a human. A few minutes later they began to look for Tiger Lilly. In the utility room they found an open ball and no Tiger Lilly. Wanting to be sure that Tiger Lilly was gone, they searched the entire house moving furniture and looking into everything. Not wanting to think the worse (the cat got the hamster) they suggested that the hamster went down the drain and had escaped into the drainage system.
As you would expect, Gabi and the family were upset at the loss.
Gabi and her mother went back to the pet store and Gabi was allowed to pick a new hamster. This time she decided on a male hamster and she name him “Steven”. I guess Steven is as good a name as any, for a hamster.
On a different subject; Gabi graduates from Kindergarten tomorrow. We will go to the graduations ceremonies and we have a gift for her. Several months ago Gabi and I saw a kid riding an electric scooter down the street in front of our house. At that time I told her I would get her one when she graduated from kindergarten. The scooter is sitting in our garage ready to go.
Back to the original subject; they found Tiger Lilly alive and healthy, after they brought Stephan home. Now they have two hamsters, two cages (boy and girl, they don’t need more hamsters).
Have a happy day.
