Bubba

What better way to re-introduce my blog than by introducing my pets.

This little chap is Bubba, he's a Syrian hamster Mike and I adopted 10 days after the unfortunate passing of Forrest. He was born on 31/03/2013 and when Forrest sadly passed on 23/05/2013 we hoped we might find another hamster who would be as sweet and loveable as he was. 

Boy did we get lucky with this furry guy! He could take most people's perception of hamsters and alter it within 5 minutes. Hamsters are commonly considered aggressive, anti-social and smelly but Bubba couldn't be more different. He's incredibly sweet and gentle, and will delicately place his paw on your hand to reach higher places when he's socialising with us. I've lost count of the number of times he's burrowed under our duvet and pressed his soft fur against our side so he feels a sense of security, before slowly drivfting off to sleep.

A few facts;

1. He loves Monkey Nuts

2. He will get out of bed in the morning to say hello

3. He is our first pet together

4. He was named after Forrest

5. His title is "Master"

6. His first home was at my mum's with me before moving into my first home a few short months later

7. Mike and I celebrated New Year with him 2013/2014 and when the bells rang he was stashing hamster friendly chocolate buttons

8. Mike signed the adoption papers
