Our Summer Pet

Let me explain why they are so sad. The girls have wanted a hamster for a long time. They worked really hard at listening better, cleaning their rooms and completing their jobs without complaining. During one family night we decided to pick up our new friend. The hamster was a white and brown and so his name quickly became Carmel. He actually was really cute(as long as he stayed in his cage). Adam said that he didn't mind taking care of him so I lovingly gave him that responsibility. Well to make a long story short, we soon found out that Adam was allergic to Carmel and to the shavings that helped make the cage smell and stay clean. Believe it or not no one else wanted Adam's job of taking care of Carmel. So on one sad summers night Carmel was returned with a lot of tears. There is a silver lining, we left with more money in our pocket because of the 15 day return policy.

Well I guess it is good that they got wanting a pet out of their system and you were able to get your money back. :) Hope that you are doing okay! Let us know if there is anything that we can do to help. Love ya!

Yay, you made an update! I'll be interested to see how long it will take before they are asking for a different pet.

that's so sad. It's good they had a return policy though. It's fun to see your update! The girls are so cute even though they're looking so sad.

Boo hoo! At least you attempted to get a pet. Ben keeps asking for a dog...I got him a fish instead (which he loves). Not the same as a dog, but for now it will do. :) I hope you find success with another pet!

Too bad for them. I understand about not wanting to clean up after a pet. My kids want another one too. Yeah, that's not happening. But still sad for the girls.
