Proudly introducing the newest member of my family.

A year and a half after Mike Jones' passing I finally decided it was time for a new hamster.

I got this little guy three months ago but I had to keep him a secret from my parents because I knew my mom would be mad at me

(but not really, she's a sucker for all little furry pets).

So now that the cat's out of the bag so to speak, (my mom had to go get a book out of my room so I figured I should tell her before she saw him.)

 I would like to introduce Marshmallow.

 Named for Marshall in How I Met Your Mother.

His wife Lily calls him Marshmallow as a term of endearment and in turn he calls her Lilypad.

I thought it was cute.

Plus this little guy is white so it works out perfectly.

Though no hamster will ever be able to fill the hole in my heart left after Mike Jones' passing, I am excited to have a little friend again to love and keep me company!
