Isabella!

I finally gave in and bought a hamster; I named her Isabella. I saw her at the pet store the day before yesterday and was smitten. I went back yesterday and just had to get her. She's a dalmatian hamster, looks like a holstein cow (my favorite type of cow). Right now she's ruffling around in her snazzy new cage building a nest with wood shavings.





By the way, I have a beta fish named Beta and an aquatic African dwarf frog named Neil. They live together, although they don't seem to like each other too much. Regardless, they make a cute pair.

There they are together. (Beta's on the move.)





Beta.


Neil's very photogenic so I have many pictures of him.























Love the spots.


My favorite: the ballet poses. (He looks a bit warped below because of the bend in his tank, but I can assure you, he's not deformed.)



I also have two cats named Marley Bob and Rudy.
