Allowance day was yesterday, and an executive decision was made by Neko and Shep that they would like Zhu Zhu Pets. This request would have been impossible a month ago, when that little hamster was the hottest holiday request, but now you can find them at a few stores if you poke around.
So off to the toy store we went, and adopted three little friends.
I have to say, at $10 apiece, these little friends have been money well spent. They have been played with non-stop since yesterday. Today we created mazes and obstacles courses. They went sailing off benches. Got handled by someone with blueberry hands. Traveled in my purse during swim lessons.
I still don’t understand why it occasionally crows like a rooster and makes a few other un-hamster-like noises, but you can’t beat that there’s no one to feed and no cage to clean.
