Mac and Cheese adopted, Aella, 14 mice

Great news! Mac and Cheese the dwarf hamsters have been adopted together!! These two brothers are such sweet hearts. They always let me hold them and handle them at any time. They also got along with each other fabulously for the couple of months they were with us. Most times I found them cuddling and spooning each other as they slept. They now have a new forever home with two wonderful children. They will enjoy all the extra attention they will receive.
Aella the syrian hamster arrived at Life Long Tails Small Pets-Big Hearts with aggression issues. In fact, that was the reason she was being surrendered. And she did indeed have an anger problem. I was bitten by her, and if I was near or brought my hand close she would start to grind and chatter her teeth in anger. A few months have gone by. And surprisingly Aella has had a complete personality change. I didn't do anything special to change her, she just switched out of the blue. I can pick her up, and she stays relaxed as i do this. She stays bright eyed and curious, but shows no signs of being cautious or angry, or even scared. She is acting as if I have been picking her up all this time. I have been petting her and kissing her, and she lets me! She even seems like she is enjoying it. I am thrilled, absolutely ecstatic about her new found trust in hands. I very certain she will be just as sweet with anyone, not just me. This will be her turning point. I am confident she will find a wonderful home now, now that she likes people. No more moody hamster, she is all about the love.
We received 14 mice from Ohio today. There are 7 boys and 5 girls. Most of them are black , but there are also various brown and tan ones. One of the boys is named he is very active and acrobatic. The other 2 boys are named Stampy and Mars. I need to come up with names for the rest.
Pictured above are Mac and Cheese.

Randy, Our kitty

Ray and I love taking pictures of our cats. Many times , I have a feeling they pose for us. A few weeks back we had a new furnace installed, and we were without central air for a day. Ourselves and our furry family are spoiled with the air conditioning. The cats were laying around the house in all different positions, looking like they were trying to keep cool. I caught Randy in this position on the couch. he has never lain this way before , or since that day :)
