So, I have this love for hamsters. My first hamster, Hammie, was an
amazing hamster. He only used my shirt as a restroom once, after he just got home, and he
never bit me. I grew extremely attached to him and spoiled him; after an amazing 3 year stitch, he finally passed. I was in hysterics and swore I'd never get another one.
Well I have caved not just once but three times since. The second hamster,
Snowball, she was cute and lasted slightly over a year only to die on my boyfriend's watch (though we knew it was coming) and he was so hurt by her death.
Nugget was purchased while Snowball was around and she's still going strong in her "mansion" of two cages and then, about two weeks ago, I added a new addition to my room:
Goldie (as seen above).
Goldie was a complete "on the whim" buy when I went to get more bedding; the pet store clerk took her out and when I held her I
just knew she was special and I could not leave without her. I am afraid because I am already attached to her kind of like how I was attached to Hammie which will make her passing very painful, but she is such a doll and incredibly cute-- I could not resist. She has yet to bite me (unlike the other two) or pee on me (unlike the other two) and she is pretty calm which makes her fun to hold and watch.
Anyways, so she managed to escape the cage she was in after only a few days, and me and my family went crazy turning the house upside down in pursuit of her furry behind. We enlisted our pointer dog to help smell for her and he kept going back to my room so we knew she had to be in there. I finally gave up looking and started talking to my boyfriend about the situation and that was when I started to hear a loud chewing noise nearby. Somehow, she managed to fall behind the shelf the cages are on, get stuck, and was in the process of chewing her way out. The wall buffer is now missing a few huge chunks but shes safe, and secure, in a
new two story cage and I am
so happy she is back.

Not a day goes by that my mind is not thinking about creating something. I am happiest when my creativity is being put to use, and photography has always been my biggest love. Nothing excites me more than returning home with pictures to go through and finding that one image that stuns my eyes and makes my heart ache with happy pride.
