This morning I woke up early to the sound of Ben singing to his hamster. I didn't recognize the song, but Ben told me later that it was something about peace around the world. . . .
It was so sweet that I didn't mind not being able to sleep in on a Saturday :)
Ben earned his pet care badge this week at Cubs for looking after Fluffy--pretty much on his own--for the past three months.
This really just involves a bit of cleaning the cage, refilling food and water, and making sure his younger sisters don't give the little guy too much love.
But Ben often goes beyond the basics, giving Fluffy long pieces of paper to stuff into his cheeks and fresh fruit and vegetable pieces to eat, talking to him, and--as previously mentioned--serenading him with new songs he's learned at school.
I think a far as pet hamster lives go, Fluffy has a pretty good one . . .
thanks to his friend Ben :)

I think fluffy is a very loved and pampered little pet. It's nice to see Ben earn a badge for all his work. Now mom has to sew another badge on a cub shirt, which I don't think she minds at all.
Tyson just went to his first cub activity this week...because it was building a rocket for the rocket event that is the day after his birthday:) I think it'll be so fun when he can start earning patches!! Good job Benjamnin. I think the hardest part must have been making sure Fluffy didn't get too much love from his sisters:)
