Blog author 25 Jun 2007 16:06 | My blog Poor Poor ElvisRight...so its official my hubby and i are the worst owners in the world! wednesday night my husband appears to have forgotten to shut elvis' cage door when he put him in from his run...the inevitable happened and i awoke at 2.30am thursday morning (my birthday no less) to find kenny with elvis in his mouth. long storey short, he broke his back and elvis had to be put down.
i am devastated! my husband feels awful and i have had to try not to lay in to him too much as i know he feels bad anyway but i just can't believe it happened! poor little man. we'd only had him about 2 months...if that! i cannot describe how bad i feel!
i had to call Raystede (where we got him from) on Thursday and explain. They were all very nice and understanding but i just felt even more guilty!
Sunday was Raystede's open day so we went along and took all our opened food and treats and...typically...ended up coming home with a new hamster! i was not sure if we were going to risk getting another but they said they had a little baby boy who they really wanted to go to a good home (cat eating aside!) and so he ended up coming home with us! i feel a bit bad getting him so soon but we had half decided to try again and then when we saw him just couldn't resist! i will be making sure that all measures are taken to avoid this happening again!
so...we have a new little 10week old boy with no name...actually, he has a name, Albert, i'm just not especially keen on it! all the animals we have taken in seem to have come with funny names and mostly we just keep them (apart from the bunnies, they went from Ginger & Judy to Chong & Binky) but i'm just not sure i can keep albert, its such an old man name!! |
