For the past week, we have had a visitor...Mickey Mouse's cousin, Furball. You didn't know he had a cousin, huh? Well, he does, and let me tell you, I am going to be hard pressed to NOT let the boys get a new pet. They have had so much fun over the last week...they are going to have a hard time giving Furball back to his family. The Quade's were on vacation, visiting the real Mickey, and we were in charge of taking care of Furball. I was fine with it...as long as I didn't have to hold him. Ed is an old pro at taking care of hamsters, and he was looking forward to it. The first night, at about 2am, Ed heard a noise from the living room. He said it sounded like a golf ball falling on our hard wood floor. He came to the living room to find Furball ON TOP of his cage. Thankfully he didn't get too far! He hasn't been able to escape since, which I am thrilled about. Every night the boys would put Furball into his ball, and let him run around. I swear Furball must have ran a mile everyday in that ball. Also, Ed would let Furball crawl all over him...the last couple of days, Furball has become very daring.
Jake and Kita have loved having Furball too, but are mad at us for not letting them get closer to him! They probably think he tastes like chicken!

No one gets a free ride....Ed makes Furball walk back to his cage.
Checking it out!
