My new Pet "Mao Zi"

I went to pick up my new pet on Sunday evening with mummy and the boys (including junior). There was a bit of misunderstanding and I had to get a different one instead of the couple that I booked, but its ok, because I am getting the frisky one that I saw last fri.


She was still jumping up and down in her cage as before. She was still as frisky and active as usual and I love her!!! But Junior didnt seem too enthu to have a new sister. I bought her a new cage, complete with a nice little house which she can curl up and sleep and a wheel which she can exercise, a food dish and a slide (or staircase la) heehee.... I bought food and sand for her to bathe and bedding too.....


Actually I wanted to call her apple. This is like 1 rare female that I would take, cos normally I would prefer boys.... but she really stole my heart away..... I affectionally called her "hampy" - the usual name I would give to all my hamsters from before....but somehow it didnt sound rite.... hampy fitted the boys better than her.....


So I brought her back to bradel, where I will be spending my next 10days at, and made everyone think of a nice name for her. Mummy wanted to name her peanut. I wanted to call her butter. Hahahahaha..... Peanut and Butter would be reserved for the other 2 when I get them this week.....


Finally Jakes called her "Mao Zi" as in "Mao Zhe Dong". Wat a weird name.... but it stuck to her hahahahaa...... now everyone calls her mao zi affectionately..... and there she goes....


I let Mao zi out on the couch to let junior and her interact. But Junior was sooooooo scared of her. He kept backing away when faced with her. I think he is scared of ratatouiie too, jus like Kerin. He even barked at her but I dun think she understands his language.....
