So the Brother One comes in while Mandy and I were lounging around in the living room. He carried with him a hamster cage with two dwarf hamsters that some stupid and careless child nearly left at his church. Immediately, I freak out because:

1. Hamsters are different genders (or so the Brother says)
2. One is fat enough to be pregnant
3. Water bottle had spilled all over the shavings
4. Girl Ham (who is also an albino) has a scabbed and bloody tail

Enter Jean going nuts finding all the hamster stuff she packed away after her last hamster died, then scrubbing the life out of the stuff she finds with hot water, soap, and vinegar. Now the hamsters are separated and the boy is having the time of his life in the aquarium running on the hugest hamster wheel that he's probably ever seen. He is also quite possibly the stupidest hamster I have ever seen and he's convinced that he can climb up plastic walls. Thus, he is christened Baka.

The girl ham managed to figure out how to get out of the box we put her and Baka in tentatively while the cage that they arrived in. She is clearly the smarter one, and I am calling her Polar Bear since she looks like a little one.

But I'm a little worried, the Brother One is taking them back to church on Sunday because he claims that the same stupid kid will take the hamsters back. That kid is clearly not responsible enough to keep the hamsters separate, how on earth is he going to handle a pregnant one, which is a LOT of responsibility? Also, they're going to be put back into the same cage again when the Brother takes them back.

Gah.

*worries*

It's starting to sound like we may be keeping them, I don't want to give back the pregnant one because it needs to be taken care of properly... but I've grown attached to the stupid one too because he's hilarious. *sheepish*

That's bad. I think you should go with your brother and talk to the parents and kid about this. And then hold them hostage.. lol. They have to follow your advice or else they don't get the hamsters back!

Dwarf hamsters are so cute though... :)
