so good morning everybody this is a weird angle
I am currently about to do my makeup because out we are going to pick up a
new member for the family and JJ's here to say hi say hi JJ hiiiiiii so I was
casually looking on Kijiji which is just a buy and sell website and I sometimes
look at the animal ads that people have up and there was one for a hamster and
he is actually available at my local small pet rescue that I got that where I
got Cleo from so he is from the same place
he is a long-haired Syrian hamster so I actually went ahead and I contacted them
and I've made an application before when I got Cleo from them so I kind of just
emailed and said do I have to make another application for him or can you
use my ones before and they emailed back and they were very excited and they
actually said they had other applicants but because they knew that he would be
going to a good home they said I could just take him which
was crazy and very exciting so I'm getting ready to go pick him up I do
know it obviously we're in the middle of pandemic so I was totally willing to
wait however long they thought would be necessary um he's in a foster home right
now so essentially the lady has not touched him physically for three days
just to prevent any germs or bacteria or anything and we're going to do this as
contactless as possible I'm going to bring my own pen to sign the forms for
him and yeah so I am just gonna go ahead and get dressed and then we can go get
our new friend
so we're back and I'm very excited to go put him in his enclosure he was such a
big boy and his foster mom said that he is very very calm and just a really
chilled out hamster and it looks like my battery's gonna die so I'm gonna hurry
up and get him into his enclosure
so it has been a couple of days now and I would like you guys to meet Lenny hey
bud? say hello YouTube so Lenny here is a long-haired sable Syrian obviously he's
a male and his name is Lenny
Lenny it was the name he actually was named when
he was at the rescue and I just thought it really suited him and once I started
calling him it I kind of just fell in love with the name and yeah he doesn't
really have a sad story which is great it's never good when a animal has a sad
past story but basically in Lenny's case he was came from my home who had a male
and a female hamster and the lady who had them had kids and the kids decided
they were going to put the male and the female together and this resulted in
babies obviously the lady tried to keep up with all of their care and caring for
them and she just couldn't so she did surrender them over to the rescue which
was how I ended up with Lenny!
something special about Lenny is that he actually
has his right ear permanently flopped backwards I assume when he was younger a
sibling must have did a pretty deep cut into his ear so it is sliced pretty good
and so the one piece just flops back and it looks like he has a ear that's
always down on the one side I think it's really adorable
and it makes him really special he also does have this really long gorgeous coat
which I do brush every day just to make sure it doesn't get knotted or anything
like that and Lenny also is quite calm he lets me
handle him already I assume it's because he did grow up in a home with somebody
who probably did handle him quite often and he is around 11 months to about a
year is what the shelter said and he smells really good
he smells like Canadian money
so I'm really excited for you guys to join us
on this journey with Lenny and to find out more about his personality and
everything and yeah so I will see you guys in my next video say bye!
