On Saturday afternoon Emily's hamster, Oreo, participated in a hamster race at Petco. Oreo didn't win the race--she actually went the opposite direction on the track!! But after the race, Matthew said he wanted a pet of his own--a hamster. So we looked at them and he decided on a male dwarf hamster that he named Shadow.
Matthew was so excited to have Shadow. He has his cage next to his bed and takes him out every day to play with him. Matthew got a hamster ball to let Shadow roll around the house in. They even sell a track for hamsters so they can roll in a circle and can go really fast!
Shadow is Matthew's birthday present from his Dad (Matthew's birthday is on the 12th--October is a really busy month for us!). Matthew brought pictures of his new pet to school yesterday and told his class all about him--he is so happy.
Looks like we added another pet to our zoo:)
