Ginger, are you OK? Do you have someone in the house with you? I hope you're not too shaken up.
Peace~ma for your friend's daughter, bonny, and for you.
It looks like you went with just the one, but I was going to say - make ABSOLUTELY sure you're getting all girls if you decide on multiple hammies!
Oh goodness, yes! That was the plan. We were thinking of two girls (we do not want baby hamsters appearing every couple of weeks), but opinion is very divided on whether dwarf hamsters need to be in pairs or on their own. Both the pet store owner and the vet we talked to last week thought that a pair of hamsters might end up fighting and causing problems for each other, so we went for just the one. We'll make sure we spend lots of time with her so she doesn't get lonely.
We're thinking of getting Emeline a hooded rat for her birthday. There are two of them in her class and she seems to really like them.
Nice! We considered rats, but I had already fallen in love with the dwarf hamster. But The Girl used to keep rats, and says they're fantastic pets. Very friendly and intelligent, apparently. (Not usually as intelligent as the NIMH ones, though.)
Crap, crap, crap, Ginger! How scary!
BTW, Seska, congrats on the hammy. I hope Hamish knows just how lucky she is. Ah, I'm sure she will soon, if she doesn't know yet.
Did you call the police, Ginger? They should know there is a prowler about and I know I felt a little less rattled once the white hats with the guns were seen at my place (and said they'd drive by a few times that night).

Sorry Fay.
Well done Mr. Peabody! Ginger that's scary. I'm sending lots of protection~ma.
Bonny much comfort to A. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Ok, I'm a wee bit concerned that Ginger hasn't posted again, so I'm pretending that after calling the police, and spending a while dealing with them, you felt either tired enough or safe enough to go back to bed.
IOmememeN, I just accidentally dumped my packet of hot cocoa mix onto my bowl of cottage cheese. I do not recommend this as a breakfast. Well, maybe for my worst enemy. It's not lethally bad, and I am making myself eat it. But I am deriving only nutrition and not enjoyment out of it.
Yikes, Ginger. Mr Peabody should get extra treats today.

It looks from the timestamp like Mr. Peabody woke Ginger up at about 4-ish; I certainly hope she went back to bed!

What she said. Hope you got some sleep after that. Scary.
