On a recent road trip to the northeastern United States, Penny’s grandparents visited New Hampshire – or as Penny likes to say, “New Hamster.” Each day she grew increasingly concerned about the possibility of hamster attacks on her grandparents RV. Fortunately they survived without any rodent maulings. This event did, however inspire Penny to know more about the furry little guys menacing this northeastern state.
