Our new housemate...
Since vacation started, Nala, the class hamster has been our new housemate. She is practically family, but just sits there until night time when it time to chew on the cage!!
Last Sunday we decided to all sleep downstairs in our family room until...
I felt something run across my chest and then heard little scratching sounds on the pillow! I freaked out and woke up damoomoo. "There's mouse in our house. It just ran across me. I never thought they would be so bold!"
After explaining to him what happened we gathered the kids, our blankets, and our pillows and moved to the bedroom. Damoomoo returned downstairs to see if he could find the mouse. Instead he saw Nala running across the room! She finally escaped from her cage.
And it's not the first time.
She has escaped from her cage several times at the school, each time we place her in her temp cage while we clean the big one, and once while we were driving home! AJ's teachers had to tape up the cage door because of her disappearing acts. Damoomoo put those plastic fasteners that he uses for his cords to the door instead and taped all the openings on the top of the cage! She is one strong hamster.
We had left a bowl of her food in the hallway which I found completely empty by this morning. And before we fell asleep last night I had damoomoo leave her cage downstairs with the door open... Sure enough there she was in her bedding! So now our housemate is safe, looking a little skinnier, but still in the house!
