One day last week I had a luncheon to go to and asked if our Nanny, Bethany could watch Brooklin and pick up Kameron from school for the couple hours during my meeting.She met me and picked up Brooklin. Bethany mentioned they would visit the petstore. I thought ok, sounds good, Brooklin would enjoy that. So I get a text during my luncheon from Bethany and she says...Me, Kameron, Brooklin and Ziggy will be at my house when you're done. Hhmmm!!! Here's the txt responses....
Me: "Ziggy?",
Nanny B: "Yes, Ziggy Egle"
Me: "Oh my Lord, Ws. Bethany, what have you done?"
Nanny B: "Well, the latest addition to the Egle family".
So then I show up to get the kids and they are estatic.
I ask: "Who, where and what is Ziggy? Please just tell me it's not a lizard, snake or Iguana". I just could not do those.
Nanny B: Ziggy is a hamster.
Me: OMG!!! What am I going to do with a hamster???
Bethany: "You play with him, pet him and hold him".
Me: "Oh!"
Ok so, I don't normally like these types of animals, however, he was very cute and Bethany had went to so much trouble to house him and get all his stuff (food, treats, cage, bedding, a kabob for me to put cabbage on, and of course, the ball to put him inside of to roll around the house).
Ziggy is eating some food.
He's posing for the picture. (Probably saying, Lord, why the Egle house, out of all the places you could have chose for me, why here?).So he's here with us and he's kinda cool. He's growing on me. He ran around his wheel last night for about 20 min straight. He sleeps all day and I have given complete instruction that he does not come out of the cage unless you ask and dad is home.
Hope you've enjoyed the story of our adoption of the latest Egle member. I just know that we can add any additional members.
What happened to people just buying a candy, car, or doll for your children. This is almost as bad as a trip to the store with Aunt ReRe.
Just know that paybacks are a pain, Ws. Bethany. Don't forget...your nanny is already hired, you know who..and it comes much faster than you think.
Til next Time with T!!!

Aww he's kinda cute! And I don't like little rodents! I bet Mema's havin' a cow. Bethany, you are too cool! I just love you. You are more like an Auntie than a Nanny....I'm so glad you're loving on my kiddos since I'm not there to spoil them! Welcome to the family, Zig!
That poor little hamster.
Kristi.. keep in mind that rodents don't have super long life spans... exposed to Gumps it may be even less! Nah, just kidding. He is really cute! miss you - still want to get together for that cup of coffee. Hugs!
