I am relieved almost to the point of euphoria to announce:
Sputnik the hamster has been found!
Yes folks, after almost 5 days of wandering around the Oldest's room, Sputnik has returned to his cozy little cage. None too soon, either, as I was rather afraid the cats were going to find him first, and I really wasn't in the mood for a gruesome discovery. (Though really, when that's the case, I should probably just steer clear of Oldest's room in general!)
My favorite part, though, was the part where I discovered Sputnik was missing. Oh yeah, you'll like this too. Oldest missed the bus (a fact about which Middle Child did a little too much gloating, but that's another story) and I had to drive him to school. When I asked why he was late he said, rather nonchalantly, "Well, Sputnik's been missing for 3 days, and I saw him, so I wasted a bunch of time trying to catch him."
Wha?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why is the mom the last to know this? Ay ay ay.
Anyway Sputnik is home, all hail the returning rodent and all that. I wonder if he was hanging out with the molebats?
