new year - new friend

apparently i get a kick out of surprising my loved ones with free pets!

in 2002 i surprised jude...
he came home from work one day and i said i have a surprise for you,
but i can't find it...

it was a tiny kitten named sprocket who was hiding under the futon!
(do you remember sprockey?)

this week my friend 'kijiji' offered me a new pet:
i was able to surprise the girls one morning with something 
that emery has been asking for for a while...

if you didn't see this image on facebook, 
here are the girls faces upon seeing their surprise:
and it's taken me all week to get a decent shot of this quick little critter:
meet our new friend, acorn.

special thanks to the family not far from here 
who wanted to give this black bear hamster a good home.
we love having a new friend to play with and care for.
