The New Hamster Saga

In her class a couple of weeks ago Katie had the assignment to write a persuasive letter to someone. She decided to write a letter to her dad trying to persuade him to get her a new hamster since our hamster Buddy passed away about six months ago. It was a pretty convincing letter and so we got a new hamster (but not without some drama). Our new little hamster, Sergeant Peanut (Katie chose the name....we looked up names on google and that is what she chose) is a sweet hamster. But he was hamster number 2 in our search for our new pet. The first hamster named Squeak (Katie named him that because of a squeaky noise he made) was mean and would bite if you got close to him. He drew blood on Jason more than once. Of course, Katie and I didn't want to hold him because of the threat of pain. So....Squeak went back to Petsmart and we got Serg. instead!

Bonus points if you can tell me what show I have paused on the TV in the background. :)
