Introducing...


Hailey 'M' ... named for e's great friends from CA.

We also refer to her as 'Pinkie Pie' (KK has a great love for My Little Ponies and her eyes really are pink).


Why do we have another hamster you ask? Well, after 14 days, 14 states, 3 hotels, 5 relative/friend houses, 4219 miles & 74 hours in the car, our other hamster 'Hamsley/Snow Princess', decided to off herself. Apparently, adventure is the name of her game. Being sedentary just wasn't her thing. E found her the morning after we got to the East Coast, hind end outside of her cage... we have no idea how he did it, but it wasn't pretty.

e was beside herself with the news. We had a full funeral, complete with flowers and remembrances... and a morning full of tears and sorrow.

We headed to the nearest pet shop to find a suitable alternative. What we found was pretty cute... although she is a bit of a nibbler. One crisis averted.


We also lost our cat, again, and spent the last day and a half looking for him. We informed the neighbors, the pet microchip company, and area shelters. This morning he appeared in our bedroom at 2 AM... we couldn't have been happier. There was no way that we were ready to deal with two pet losses in one week.

Welcome PinkieEye........obviously from the look on our little girl's face, you did the right thing. Contrats on the new pet.

OMG! I can't believe you made it all the way there, and then...
The nerve of some self-centered rodents.... Glad to see you found a satisfactory replacement! Sounds like it's time for several glasses of Monterey's finest or whatever has a proof!

Just curious, why does your comments open in a new pop-up window lately? Makes it harder to link to the other blogs :)

I changed the comments to a pop-up window because I thought it was easier to get back to my blog. You should still be able to get to the other blogs, they'll just open in a separate window... at least I think.

"Adventures" is quite adequately titled I'd say! Glad the cat came back...again!

Glad to hear you all made it to the east coast okay. We have new neighbors now. It is a far cry from you all. It is a mom and her 16/17 year old daughter. A keeps telling them it is KK's house.
