My kids are getting their fair share of germ stimulus with our dogs and two stinking hamsters.

I was up in Oh Canada for a week for work, I get home, and we've got two hamsters living with us. One for each kid, and neither help clean the cages. Granted, my wife thinks the kids will make a bigger mess cleaning the cages themselves. But damn to the cages get stinky. Sad really.

Anyways, I wanted to make sure I was on the same page with my wife in that after these hamsters moved to the afterlife, there would be no more hamsters.

She said yes, "you only get one hamster in life."

Love that woman.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
