Hi and welcome to HC, Merle! Congrats on giving Murmel a wonderful, forever home with you. She is quite adorable and I love her coloring. Lol, Murmel mistaking her water bowl for her food bowl. That face must have been totally priceless and quite silly, too. I love her name and how you came about choosing it for her. I just watched
Urmel aus dem Eis "Augsburger Puppenkiste" Komplett Teil 1 - 4 on YouTube since I never new that story before, and I'm quite fond of German stories. I found it quite entertaining even though I can't speak or understand the German; I just love all of the marionettes and have a few of them myself, lol. Did you actually watch it being performed in that theater? If so, it must have been a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience made all the more memorable now that you have your hammy named after one of the characters in the story.
