I bet you were expecting to read about a little orange fish, weren’t you? That would not be the case. Nemo is Isaiah’s hamster.(also happens to be his teddy bear’s name, too) Nemo is MIA. We woke up yesterday to an empty cage. Since I have no desire to care for the little critter I told Isaiah to look for him. He cried a few minutes and then went to play.
This evening I am sitting on the couch with my laptop because I can’t sleep. What is that noise? I realize I hear a little chomping sound. I move the laundry off the chair but see nothing. I go get Mike up to let him know I may have found Nemo. We turn the chair upside down in an effort to find him. Mike then asks, “how do you know it’s Nemo?” “I don’t, I am assuming it is.”
I keep hearing the noise but have not seen the little guy. We put his food dish on the chair and his cage next to it. With the chair upside down and my eyes becoming droopy, it is 11:21 pm and the Nemo vigil begins……………………………………………………
