Difference in lifestyles

Some people have a house in the Hamptons.

We have a Hamster in our house.

The reason for the expression on JE's face is because there's no "lid" on the upside-down exercise ball, so as Tiny the Hamster runs around like the speed demon her breed is famous for, she's running right across JE's palm. He thought it tickled.

We figured this was a good way for Tiny to get to know JE's scent, without him actually having to cup her in his hands. This way the two of them can get to know each other in relative safety, without the risk of having a Hamster loose in our house.

I suggest getting a rat as opposed to a hamster. I've had both and I can honestly say that rats bite less, are more intelligent and more fun to have as pets. Just a thought.

I tried to talk JE into getting a rat (I agree on every point re: rats vs hamsters) but his heart was set on getting a hamster.
