And Then There was 2






We have fish, Laser, a Beta fish we've had for a year now. Our last Beta fish we had almost 4 years. We have great luck with fish. But a fish wasn't enough. And now we have our second pet (for now) a Hamster. Ash has a hamster although it is a family pet and she named her Emmy. Austin wanted a hamster once he saw Ash had a pink cage and cute little rodent all to herself. But Austin's not the pet type of person. In fact, he'll only pet Emmy with a pair of socks on his hands. She has been a good little critter so far, 4 days down.

Ash cannot leave her alone. We found out Hamsters are high stress animals and only live about 2-3 years. This little rat might not live to see 6 months...she gets constantly prodded with spoons, carrots poked at her, and constant attention whether its warranted or not.

Welcome to the Toler Family Emmy!
