When I was 10 or so, my parents got me a hamster for a pet. i loved it so much and i was so excited to get to play with it. i decided to name him boo-Boo because i thought it was a cute name. i'd always take things from around my house and make little obstacle courses for it to run around and play in. but one day i decided to take him outside with me to try and find something out there for him to play in. as i was walking by my swingset i stopped to think if there was anything there that could be fun for him. my sandbox i figured would be a bad place because he could easily get buried in the sand and i didnt want him to get it in his eyes or anything so i knew that wouldnt work. and the slide and swings wouldnt work either. then i looked at my see-saw and remembered that the handle to hold on to was a round hollow pole and it looked perfect for him! so i held my hand up to one end and he went right into it. then id just go to the other side and wait for him to run through. i did this for awhile, and figured that he must love it. but then something happened. i put him up to it like i normally did, but this time when he went through, he got stuck. he didnt come out the other end so i looked in the tube and saw him there stuck in the middle. he looked all puffed up like he had suddenly gained weight. just then my dad came by and asked if i was having fun playing with Boo-Boo. i smiled and said yes, scared to tell him that i had let my hamster get stuck. my dad of course wasnt dumb and after looking around asked where i had put him. i quickly lied and said that i had already brought him inside. my dad said that he was just inside and he knows i didnt come in. he asked me again where Boo-Boo was. i hung my head down and pointed to the pole. he looked at me strangely and crouched down to look inside it. i started getting teary eyed because i thought he would be stuck in there forever. my dad laughed and told me it was ok. he said that when hamsters sometimes get frightened or bothered they puff themselves up. thats exactly what had happened. he had gotten bothered that i kept putting him in there. all my dad had to do was blow through the tube and it made Boo-Boo run right out. i promised my dad and my hamster that i would never put him in something that small again.
BOO-BOO'S VIEW
i was outside enjoying the nice weather with my new owner, loving life. i knew she was trying to find something for me to play in so i was pretty excited. then she stopped by this creepy, small and stuffy hole and held me up to it. i thought "she must be kidding". why would i want to play in this? but she obviously really wanted me to go through so i figured i would for her. i quickly ran through, heading towards the light on the other side. when i got there my owner was there ready to catch me. i was happy that it was over with and was hoping that she'd find something better for me to play in. but then she held me up to the hole again. i was angry but i figured that i'd just do it again and maybe then she'd be happy. well, i was wrong. she kept making me run through it and finally i had enough. i stopped in the middle of the tube, fluffed up my fur and sat waiting for her to get the hint. i could tell she was worried but i figured i'd just wait a little longer to teach her a lesson. suddenly i looked and saw some man looking at me at the end of the tube. i then realized it was my owners dad but i still didnt budge. but then he started blowing in the tube making it all windy. that really bugged me because the wind was messing up my nice fur. but i figured that my owner must really be scared if she had to have her dad help her, so i decided it was time to go back out. when i came out she was there to catch me and instantly started hugging me and talking some weird baby talk to me. of course i didnt understand a word she said but from her tone of voice, i could tell she was sorry and that she would never do that to me again. lesson learned!
