One good discovery today, from my hastily acquired library book, is that hamsters can eat dandelions. I believe this is as an occasional treat rather than as a means of clearing my garden of weeds, so I'm not getting over excited about their imminent arrival. Unlike my kids, who are getting VERY excited. I'm running with the principle that we only live once, if it's what they want, then I do want to make them happy if I can. (Remind you of a similar throwing caution to the wind with swimming pool purchasing? Me too.) I by no means give the kids everything they want, but I'm also keen not to parent with automatic "no"s. They are buying both their hamsters and their cages with their own money, tho I personally feel my allowing it is the bigger deal. I hope I/we don't regret it. More love to go around is a good thing. It's the more stress aspect I'm worried about. Place your bets ladies and gentlemen, as to how long before I blog with tales of escapees...(and we don't get them til Sat, so betting on tomorrow would be silly!!)
