You may remember cloud, the therapy hamster. We got him in late April at my daughters request who is currently batteling with mental health issues. 'Hammy' as we call him has been a great addition. He has given my daughter the distraction she needed and has helped my wife get over her fear of rodent like creatures.
My mom was an animal person. Growing up we've had many pets; dogs, cats, bunnies , fish, birds, rodents , and of course a horse.
