The Worst Circumstances

In March of 2015 my Brother-in-law's wife (the one who live in Germany) sadly lost her mother to cancer. It was a very sad time for the whole family but the bright side being we got to spend lots of time together as a family. This included a very fun paint war, a dirt fight and many family fire sides.

Meet Bubbles

Meet the newest addition to the Pullan house, Bubbles the hamster. Bubbles started his journey to our family from my best friend, Sara. He was originally a gift for my Godson. He, only being 2, got tired of him and Sara felt he would be happier with a family that could give him more attention. I had an idea to take him for a classroom pet at my school. 

When we first brought Bubbles home, Dozer instantly fell in love. He was gentle and loving. He treated Bubbles the same way he treated our Goddaughter, or any small child in fact. He has never been anything but kind and caring to Bubbles. When I first took Bubbles to school Dozer feel into a depression for a day. Being a happy go lucky dog he quickly got over it. But when Christmas break 2015 and I didn't have a parent volunteer to take Bubbles home for the long weekend I decided to bring him home.

He loved being at our house. The room stays a pretty steady temp as well as him getting a nightly veggie treat (either a carrot or a broccoli steam). It became very obvious that both Dozer and Bubbles loved each other. Every morning and evening when we get home from work they both meet each other at the cage by the food bowl. No joke they love each other. When Dozer was on bed rest (explained later) his main spot to lay was right next Bubbles cage.
 
After Christmas break I tried to take Bubbles back to work due to a parent wanting to watch him for a weekend. The parent ended up having  a family emergency and was unable to bring him home for the weekend. On the car ride home I observed Bubbles behavior and it was agitated. I then determined that he was just having a hard time adjusting back into the classroom life with 2 year old's poking at him all day and decide that he needed to stay home with us.

I think he is a very happy hamster with his best friend Dozer.
