After holding Nora's pet hamster Henrietta, Teagan began to wonder out loud if a hamster was something she might want in the future. Nora had a lot of advice, and we made a cardboard hamster puppet for Teagan to practice feeding--just to make sure she would be responsible enough for the real thing. I haven't heard how it's going, but I'm hoping the little cardboard hamster head is still alive. Anyway, Nora has composed a three part guide about hamster care for you, Teagan. Here it is. Oh, and be sure to click on the photos, so you can read Nora's comments:
This is adorable! Such good advice!
ReplyDeleteThis is good stuff. Does she have a "How to care for your children" book coming? I could use that, especially if it has "Caution" pages.
ReplyDeleteoh, oh my! Dear Nora: this is one of the most helpful how-to books I've ever seen! I hope that anyone that is thinking about getting a hamster gets to meet you and read your books and learn from your wisdom. My cardboard Sweetie Pie is doing great - I usually remember to feed her. It is good that I'm practicing with cardboard, though, because some times I still forget.
ReplyDeleteTonight before I go to sleep, I will be praying for you & Henrietta, thanking God that I know the two of you and asking Him to always be with you.
Love,
Teagan
