This is Olaf. He's the replacement hamster Madeline got when Charlie, her previous hamster, left for the great hamster wheel in the sky a few weeks ago.
There's a reason there's a big rubber band around his dome.
Turns out, Olaf is a runner.
Earlier this week, I looked over a realized Olaf had popped the lid on the dome and made a break for it.
We spent the next few hours scouring the house looking for this little guy. I wasn't sure what I dreaded more - Madeline realizing she had literally lost another hamster, or the thought of the dogs finding him first.
We eventually found him inside the sofa bed and now he's locked into the cage, the dome securely fastened close to prevent any further escapes.
Maybe we should rename him Andy Dufresne and watch for a Rita Hayworth poster on the wall of his cage.
