Chief

Caleb had gotten some money for Christmas and when we asked him what he planned to buy, he sprung on us that he was going to get a hamster. After some discussion that anything alive needed pre approval from the parents he was pretty disappointed that he may not be getting a hamster. That week he did his research and wrote a very convincing proposal of why he should get a hamster, what supplies he would need and even researched everything about hamsters to make his case stronger. When he presented all of his research to us we really couldn't say No. So we went on a hamster search. The first pet store only had boys and he had read that girls were more friendly which was great because the boy parts on those hamsters looked a little freaky! The next pet store only had dwarf hamsters which really just looked like a mouse without a tail. The pet store associate got the first one out for him to hold but it tried to commit suicide by jumping from 5 ft up and then running under the shelving unit. Luckily, Caleb decided that he wanted to explore his other options. After helping locate and catch the escaped hamster we held a couple other ones. One seemed very friendly and Caleb decided that she was his pet. It was really cute to see how worried he was about her getting cold outside on the way home. He got the cage all set up and we had a new pet in the house. Since the Chiefs were playing a good game that day Chief became the hamsters name. Welcome to the family Chief!
