On her eighth birthday, Morgan Glassford opened up a Build-A-Bear box and started crying.
The reason for her tears wasn’t a fluffy bear the company is known for. Instead, it was because of a hamster named Buttercup.
“My cousin Kirsten got me a hamster,” Glassford said. “I started crying because I was so happy, it was the best hamster ever.”
The senior attacker had Buttercup for a little more than a year before it got lost in a wall. Glassford took a trip to the Poconos and her hamster’s cage was left open. When she got home she couldn’t find Buttercup, but she did hear it running through the walls at night.
