Our Weekend House Guest

    Molly is spending the weekend with us. Molly is a hamster and she is the class pet in Ally’s Pre-K. As star student of the week, Ally gets to bring home the hamster for the weekend (and she is SO excited and has been counting the days until Molly arrives).

    I am not a pet person. We didn’t grow up with pets in the home (except for birds). I have allergies to both dogs and cats and so we will never have those in the home. We do have some fish, but they are pretty easy to take care of. So that brings me to Molly, our weekend visitor. I can’t say that I am thrilled at having her here, but I will mask my feelings for Ally’s sake. I am proud of myself that I have already picked her up once to put her in her ball (wearing gloves, of course!).

    Okay, so I was going to say that I am going to make the best of it and maybe it won’t be so bad after all, but I was just interrupted when writing this post because Molly peed in her ball that she roams around it. EWW! It’s going to be a long weekend! My biggest fear is that Molly will die while in our care, so keep your fingers crossed that she makes it through the weekend alive. My dad joked that if Molly survives this year, she should be studied as she is one strong hamster.
