hamster trouble #2

So the girls finally got the best of the hamster.  I am sick about it.  I was going to buy a lock for Cameron's room but when I was brushing my teeth I chipped my tooth.  I ended up spending the morning in the dentist office.  I had a million things to do that day and didn't make it to Home Depot to buy the lock.  That afternoon I was making dinner and I heard the girls upstairs.  By the time I got upstairs they had squeezed the life out of the little guy.  He died in my hand.  I was so sad.  Cameron was completely distraught.  He has been so good with him.  He takes care of him and even changed his cage last time.  He loves having a buddy in his room.  He doesn't think it is fair that Mom and Dad sleep in the same room and the girls sleep in the same room and he has to go to bed by himself so the hamster solved that problem.  Well, Dave took him to the pet store that night and they bought a new one,  I bought a lock for his door, the girls got in HUGE trouble and things are much better.  Actually the new hamster was mean and I didn't like him so we took him back and got a much nicer one yesterday.  When Cameron gives him a name I might even post a picture of him.  One day I will laugh about this...right?
