Some times my wife and I are weirdly in sync. I got ready to write a blog post about our new hamster and how I had a temporary moment of insanity or over exuberance. I quickly checked my wife's blog and she has already written about it. Both of us set out to do something and it turned out to be exactly the same thing.
I could expand on the blog my wife did by summarising hers as the fact that yesterday I ordered a heck of a lot of hamster habitat stuff from amazon. Enough to make our hamster Andy several places to live and a veritable mansion if it is all connected together.
The extra point I was going to make and will now do so is that I sometimes get these urges. I will see something that suddenly piques my interest and I go slightly overboard in investing in it. If I do something I generally try to do it right and well. If I'm not interested in something I'll do it but not always as good as it should be, just enough to get it done and finished with.
Another part of it is I want the animals that live with us, are out companions, to have happy comfortable lives. We do our best to look after our pets. I remember the things we did to try and keep Boots' brother TipTup alive and well. We lost him when he was only 5 months old and spent well over $2000 on vets in the last week of his life. When we do something we devote ourselves to it, especially something as dear to us as our pets.
I'm going to go now before I get too emotional and teary about TipTup. It may have been almost 12 years now but it still hurts.
