Meet Johnny the hamster. We were able to watch him while our neighbors went on a cruise. The boys played and played and played with him, lucky guy. And we only lost him once...
One morning we woke up and he had gotten out of his cage. We automatically blamed Miss Suki- our cat. Adam was even looking for evidence deep in her furry fur coat. But she would have left him for us to see. (A dreadful thought!) The boys and I got lots of lectures from the Mr. about not leaving the cage open, in reach of Suki and "this is why we don't watch other people's pets!" But then we found him. His cage was on the washer, which is right off our kitchen, and upon further inspection, he was sitting behind the washer and dryer- in a pile of lint. We finally reached him, and when we put him in his cage, he spit out a marble he found back there. I bet he had the night of his life!
P.S. We're still up for watching pets while you go on vacation. (If you'll have us...)

He is big and cute.
What an adventure he will be able to tell the other rodents when he gets home.
I have two really stupid dogs you can watch the next time we go on vacation. Don't worry they stay here at our house and you just come check on them and feed them. I'll even pay your kids to do it!
