  I wish there was a channel with only this. Simple. Relaxing. No talking, no narrator, no rap crap or music or nagging people. Just like with the fake fireplace you see around Christmas time for 7 hours on the t.v. This would be much better than all the garbage on television. 24 hours a day filled with quiet and relaxation. A deer taking a walk for 20 minutes. A squirrel munching on a peanut for 10 minutes. Never a commercial since you are paying for the channel. This is so cute!!!

  I always wanted a hamster or a gerbil! You can create a fun home for it with all those tunnels you can buy and connect together like a little playground or it’s own disneyland. My child wants one but with this unstable economy, I’m afraid we might not be able to keep buying the bedding it needs, as it needs it changed ever few days… etc. IT’S SO OVERLY ADORABLE!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

    I had hamsters when I was a kid. My free advice to you is DON’T GET ONE!!! They stink to high heaven unless you clean the cage every day. They are nocturnal and love to run on the oh-so-squeaky wheel all night long. They eat right through the plastic tunnels and houses and everything else you put in there and if you take it out of its cage to put it on your cute bedspread, expect to clean poo off the comforter. They eat, they chew, they defecate.

    Get a betta fish instead. They come in pretty colors, only need a small bowl and will probably die before you run out of the first can of food. Cheap and and won’t live forever. When the first one dies you can get one in a different color and have the kids can have the thrill of thinking up a whole new name.

    My son had a lizard. Darn thing was an escape artist. I don’t recommend them because of that. My daughter had a hermit crab. Here’s a fun fact. They molt. I didn’t know that. My daughter brought me the dried up exoskeleton and I thought Hermie had bit the big one. We had quite the funeral. When we told my husband that evening he looked at me like I’m an idiot, said the thing had probably molted so we looked back in the cage and sure enough, there was Hermie. Since it was Easter weekend I called it a miracle and proclaimed that Hermie had risen from the dead and dubbed him Jesus Crab. I and my husband and son thought that was incredibly funny. My daughter felt it was blasphemous. I still think it’

    Thank you FORMYKIDSVA for sharing your pet stories. When you have put up with what I have put up with, the hamster sounds like a fancy holiday. I still want the hamster.

    Hmmmm…still want the hamster, eh? How about a nice kitty cat? Mine eats moles and voles and purrs when I pet her tummy. Or maybe a lab? Mine doesn’t bark but and spends most of her time begging for Milky Bones and other tummy treats but on the handful of occasions when she felt there was a threat to us she went absolutely nuts and looked and sounded like she was going to tear someone’s throat out.

    Or go for the hamster. Just please…don’t get the metal wheel!!!! And get a glass tank or else you will find yourself attached to the vacuum cleaner. Oh…and whatever you do…resist the urge to get the plastic ball they can run around on the floor in. Unless you like cleaning wee and doo up. Can’t say it’s my favorite activity. And you can always use shredded newspaper for bedding if you have to. But the cage will need cleaned more often and the ink will run.

    Hope things are on the upswing for you. My best friend is going through a really rough time right now and she could use something cuddly and cute too. That’s why I’ve signed her up for match.com : )

    I’ve updated my profile to add a picture of my kitty and doggy. Sure you don’t want something a little bigger and fuzzier?

  It’s so cute! I would like to extend out an invitation for dinner. Does he/she eat pizza? (giggles)
