Misty and Mitten - the newborns

Not yet married.
Never pregnant.
Yet already a mother of two.
Me.
Yes.

Two hamsters that is. Both one week old, one white with a streak of gray running down its back. The other, black. Hedgehog and me had a surprise delivery yesterday and found ourselves proud parents of the week-old babies. Does that confirm our status? Well, not quite. Hehe. We've named them Misty and Mitten, apt generic names for our babies that have yet-to-confirm- their gender. Misty is white, hence the name. Mitten... bites. They're currently residing in Rachel's residences, a chrome yellow-and-white mobile home with shutters, drinking facilities and supply of vegetables from Mum's kitchen. No urinary system installed yet. They will be shuttling weekly between Hedge's place and mine... For now, in the mobile home for both of us have no inclination yet to settle on a bigger pad. Cute as they are, they already attract lots of attention, mostly from young children and aunties whenever they travel with style. =)

Initially was not very keen on bringing up hamsters; when Hedge suggested it to me, months ago. Always had hamsters in the house but it was never mine per se... usually Mum had to do the dirty work, haha. Well now apart from the 4 fighting fish, dozen/s of crickets, one cat and an occassional mynah who visits the bowl of cat food in the morning, we have 2 hamsters. My house is turning into a pet safari. Had fun yesterday going down to ChompChomp... chomping down the food was fun, too... I always did prefer hawker food to foodcourt or others, the taste is unbeatable. I think the hokkien mee, carrot cake and taiwan icee is still in my system. Tummy's getting bigger, argh! Gym, anyone?

Meanwhile, the cute babies will keep me busy this week. I prayed for a long life (lifespan about 2 years yea) and a happy healthy one. Almost like having kides of my own.
