Our daughter Megan had been begging me for years to let her have a pet of some sort. Now when you tell a 5 year old that they can have a pet in a few years they will NEVER forget. It's funny how they forget what they did at school that day or what they learned in their Sunday School class but make them a promise to buy a pet for them years later never seems to escape their memory. So for the 973rd time Megan asked me if she could have a pet hamster. After discussing everything with my honey I reluctantly agreed to allow Megan to have a small pet. The very next day we were off to PetSmart to purchase her new pet. I cannot begin to describe the excitement Megan felt just driving to the pet store. She worked my ear to the inner canal telling me what a good hamster mom she would be, asking me all sorts of questions and pondering on what the pet's name should be. It was a true delight to see her joy. As soon as we got home Megan wanted to take some pictures of her new pet hamster. A dwarf Russian hamster named Whiskers!
