Favorite Pet Memory
My son spent most of the year leading up to his 7th birthday asking for a hamster.  Despite initial reluctance to bring another pet into our family, when Greg accepted his new role at Compana his fate was sealed.  Oreo the hamster has become a member of the family, loved by everyone including his sister Maggie (a mini goldendoodle).
