A little girl and her dream

A promise from her daddy.
-Keep your room clean for one month (feb). Check
-Earn all the money for paraphernalia (cage, toys, food, bedding, chew sticks,treats, animal itself). Check

Presenting

RUBY THE HAMSTER (it would have been Rhino but they didn't have any boys)

I think she has a nicer house than mine!
All told, with everything she bought, Rebekah spent about $70 in the last 4 months to get ready for her new addition. A bit ridiculous how all of the sudden she had a little "baby" to take care of. She feeds it carrots everyday and makes sure to pet and play with her and put her in her ball to run around.


The boys are fascinated by her as well and I caught Sam shoving handfuls of treats into the cage.
I of course "STRONGLY" objected to the purchase of the rodent, but I was out voted. How can you argue with a constantly clean room?
When we brought her home and put her in her cage for the first time, I got my dues for being so willing to compromise.
The dumb thing bit me hard enough to draw blood!

Ugh...I hate hamsters. Hopefully Rebekah doesn't get tired of cleaning that cage out too soon! LOL
