We've had a number of the little rodents stretching back nearly since we arrived in Canada. They have never had real names. The first one was called Hamster only. That initial fellow was posthumously renamed to Hamster One, after we got the second. If I recall, Hamster Four had been previously called Little Buddy by prior owners. For you see, we adopted him from friends of friends who were leaving town.
I think there have been three since then. I tried looking on Flickr to get a better idea. It is a little hard to figure as their names sort of reverted back to just Hamster. Yet, we'll go with Ms. Eight for this one, for sure.
People who haven't had a number might think they are all the same. Well, they do come in differing colours and with different hair lengths. Yet, each has had his or her own personality. Some we've owned have been jumpers and climbers, while others were lethargic. Many have had food favourites, and we even had one who turned his nose up at cheese.
Ms. Eight is a little too new for us to know her preferences or traits. It does seem she doesn't like to be photographed. I must have snapped a dozen pictures and only this one was suitable for inclusion here. She must be too much of a diva to look directly into the lens.
