AND A HAMSTER NAMED HENRY!

Yes, we have added another member to our entourage.....Henry the Hamster. Jamesen has been "working" us for a hamster for months. He is our lover of all animals and felt like having just one wiener dog wasn't enough for the Rees household. And five males wasn't either. Yes, obviously Henry is male. We have added more testosterone to the household!

When Jamesen approached us for about the 15th time about acquiring a hamster, he made all sorts of promises. Of course all I could imagine was me cleaning the cage ,all the while chasing the hamster down while keeping him safe from the wrath of a wiener dog. We made him do his research so that he would know what to expect and how a hamster should be cared for.....I have to admit, he did a darn good job of it. He even offered to pay for it out of his own money until Mungy came through with an offer to pay for it. To top it all off, he even found a place for Henry to stay while we are in DisneyWorld for Fall Break......his buddy Chase. After all that, how could we say no.

Henry "Spiderhamster" Rees came to us via PetSmart on August 18th (our cousin Becker's Birthday). As you can see from the pics, it was an exciting time in the Rees household. And I do have to admit, he is growing on me. Henry is what you call a Robo Dwarf Hamster so he is tiny like a mouse and has quite the personality. All he needs is a motorcycle. He loves his exercise ball and his exercise wheel, although he does get going so fast in both that he can't keep up and ends up being tossed about. It is quite comical. He also enjoys his newest hobby, cage climbing. Hence the middle name Spiderhamster".

So we say WELCOME to our newest family member in hopes that life in the Rees home is all you could possibly want it to be!
