Newest addition!!

So about a month ago, Buck was down at Sportsman's Wearhouse, and someone there was selling some yellow lab pups. If any of you know Buck really well, then you know that all he talks about is all the kinds of big dogs he wants, and always has wanted, but we live in a basement aparment, and our landlords only allow small pets, like Bodie. Well when he saw these pups he wanted one SO bad, he was willing to get it anyway and one of our friends Kyle, Heather's hubby offered to put him in his backyard for Buck and Buck was all over that idea. Anyways, needless to say, that didn't work...(see what happens when you let husbands go to Sportsman's Wearhouse alone?) :) So he has literally been so depressed since that day. Just sulking, that he can't have a dog of his own yet.

Well a couple weekends ago we visited my sister-in-law in Boise, and she has a little dwarf hampster. Buck played with it almost all weekend, so not really thinking he'd want to I asked him, "Well since you can't get a dog would you want a hampster?" and anticipating a big "NO" from him, I got instead, "Yeah!" So, we did. Only, we're both like two five year olds and when I found out he was serious I was like, well if you're getting a hampster, I want a hampster. Therefore....

Meet Jonny and June

They are sister Winter White Dwarf Hampsters. They're called winter whites because they turn white in the winter and brown in the summer. They're still getting used to us, and we still scare them but they are so cute. Jonny is bigger than June, and more brown. She's the one on the left in the pic above and June is on the right. She's smaller and more gray, and because she's smaller, Jonny picks on her right now. She'll pounce on her and June will just flop on her back and start squealing like crazy. But when I woke up this morning they were both in their truck like this getting along just fine. Yes, they're both girls, at least that's what Pet'smart told us, but we already had our names picked out for them. :)

Here is their fortress. Why so much? you may be thinking, but trust me, this is toned down. You should've seen Buck in the pet store and everything he wants for these two little things. He wants like 8 cages for them. They each have their own exercise ball, and it's hilarious to see them run around in them.

Here's the big cage. Jonny loves it. She runs all over the place constantly. June is still a litte scared of Jonny so she just burrows in the corner for now, but she's slowly warming up.

Here they are again in their little truck

Good shot of June

This is their truck. Buck wants to get a couch and a T.V. and a pyramid and tons of other things for them, but I don't think they'll all fit...

Here is June eating. She's way lighter than Jonny

This is Jonny in her ball.

And this is Jonny drinking water. See how much darker she is, and she has a dark stripe down her back.
