Recently, I have been going through a tough time. It's wonderful being here with Nick but I think I've been going a little crazy not having anything to do. I was trying to come up with a solution. For a long time I really, really wanted a dog. But... We obviously can't afford one living on loans and all that. I wanted something I could care for, that would consume my time since a baby is out of the question right this minute. I thought I could get another kind of pet. I went to the pet store with Nick and I saw the perfect "fix". It was a little dwarf bunny. It was so cute and it was the perfect size and I fell in love with it. Well, Nick said I should sleep on it because I could suddenly change my mind. As the days went by I decided I really wanted that Bunny. Today, I told Nick that I definitely wanted it. We went down to the pet store to pick it up, but it wasn't there. It had been sold the very day we were in there looking at it :(. I was SO disappointed, I felt like a kid that didn't get their way. If I had been any more upset, I would have thrown my body on the ground kicking and screaming. At first, I just stood there thinking "this is a joke, why does this have to happen". I asked if they were going to be getting any more and she said in a few months. Obviously I didn't want to wait, by then it would be useless. The Sales Clerk suggested a hamster. I was thinking "NO! I want a freaking bunny!". But as I looked around I would have no choice if I wanted a pet. So I gave in and I got a little hamster. It wasn't that bad, we ended up getting the hamster for free because we bought a cage. We spent a lot less than we were prepared to spend, which made Nick and I pretty happy. I let Nick choose the name and he chose "Snowball", the reason being (this is the exact wording Nick used) "because she was white and cuddles in a little ball". We got her home and later in the evening I was putting my hand out to her and she reached up and bit me. I was a little startled and Nick came out after I had let out a yelp, I had a single drop of blood. And so here we have the title, "Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You."

Hey guys! I'm such a blog stalker and I found a link to your blog, hope you don't mind. I'm sorry your hamster bit you! We had the little rodents for pets when I was younger and I was always afraid one would bite me.
You guys are too cute!
Ellie makes a pretty good pet, that's why we have newspaper on the floor instead of carpet.
O We don't mind at all. we write to give comical relief.
Corey, At least your pet acknowledges you and cuddles with you, I'm kind of scared to pick the the bugger up now. haha
I'm sure you'll be able to tame him. What a meanie. I'm thinking about getting one of my cats back from our neighbor that we gave them to. Since the whole baby thing still isn't working out, I've really been wanting a fuzzy pet and since Jim really doesn't want a dog until we have a fence, that's our compromise. :) Good luck with Snowball!
Thanks Colleen! Yeah I hope you are able to get your little kitty. I want to really own a cat but they're fun. To show you how desperate I was I almost started begging Nick for a cat. haha I tried the dog but he shut that one down pretty quick :) Well I hope you get your furry friend! love ya!!!
