Meet Smokey

You may remember from several years back that Ethan had a hamster. It met an untimely demise and was replaced...more than once...with a look a like. I finally decided that he wasn't old enough to care for one. Fast forward several years and he finally talked me into another one. He wanted a pet of his own to take care of. So...meet Smokey! He bought her and the cage/accessories with his own money. 

She really is the sweetest little hamster...and I've had a LOT of them in my day!

Ethan's crazy after school hair. 

Can't handle the cuteness! Such a sweet and gentle little thing.

Squeaker was quite intrigued by her. They seemed to get along. She would just sit and stare at her.

...until we left the house and didn't shut Ethan's door. We came home to find this crime scene. Poor Ethan was sobbing and cursing the poor cat who was just trying to get a closer look at the hammie.  I can't believe it but I found little Smokey under the entertainment center in the living room completely unharmed...except for the minor heart attack she probably had. Ethan's door is now closed any time we leave the house. Who's idea was it to get a hamster when we already had a cat?! ;-)
