Looking through the listings on a Facebook For Sale page on Saturday looking for a new printer for my pc, I saw an advert for a Russian Dwarf Hamster and home for £5!!!
My daughter has always wanted one but with the dog and fish and guinea pigs to look after, as well as caring for elderly parents here at home and a husband and child to run around after, I had always said no.
But when I saw someone suggesting the girl 'throw it under a lawnmower' if she didn't want it anymore, there was really no choice.
So I am proud to announce that Theodore, the Russian Dwarf Hamster, took up residence in my daughters bedroom yesterday. He is adorable, if a little wriggly, and my daughter loves him to bits! Pictures to follow.
