I caved in....imagine that.....

Guess what Danielle has been bugging me to buy lately? If you think it is something simple like a new sweatshirt, you are mistaken. This time it is a little creature with little hands, feet, eyes, and a bit of hair. Yep, a hamster. I was trying to get her to wait to purchase the little thing, but she just didn't want to. I told her that I have more than enough on my plate right now with the move....but she still wanted it. I was not a huge fan of bringing another pet into the house. I am perfectly content with Neiko. He is enough work.
So, she decided she wanted to go get one as Joe and I were above our garage in a hundred foot pile of stuff that we have acquired over the years we have lived here, and I was like...."Call grandma. She'll take you". And sure enough, a couple minutes later she was here, and off to Pet co they went.
When they drove into the driveway I could see Danielle sitting in the middle of the back seat with a little white box in her hands. She was smiling from ear to ear. So, she opened the box, and there she was.....Coco. I have no idea where "Coco" came from, because she is a light tan color, not brown. But, she loved the name, so that is it.
So we spent the next hour trying to set up this new house that they bought for Coco. It wasn't as easy as it looked. It has a little ball that she can climb into and then she can run in circles for hours on end if she wants to. Danielle fell asleep last night and I was in the bathroom and I kept hearing these weird bumping noises over and over. I was thinking...."what the heck is that"?. So I went into her room to investigate and it was the crazy little hamster running in circles. I couldn't believe how noisy it was. So, I moved it into the kitchen, so Danielle wouldn't wake up to all the racket. But now that I think about it, she is just gonna have to get used to it. Anyway, she is sorta bummed right now because they told us not to handle her for two days, so she can get acclimated to our house. Try to tell a kid not to touch their new hamster......it's like telling them not to eat the candy on the table. Gosh.....So, when my battery for my camera charges, I will post some pics of Coco. I bet you can't wait.....
