It is with a heavy heart and much sorrow that I announce that Martha “Mimi” Mouse is a complete and total ingrate. Not only did I save her from certain death at the hands (paws?) of Sifl the cat, but I also bought her a cage, and pink bedding, and a pink igloo, and gourmet mouse food called “Tropical Carnival”. I visited with her, made nice cooing noises at her, bought her little treat boxes that you eat your way into. And as if saving her life and spoiling her weren’t enough, I also bought her a Pink Princess Play-Castle. And you know what? Pink Princess Play-Castles aren’t cheap.
And for all this love, all this care and attention and ridiculous sums of money that could have gone toward buying food for, hmmm, I don’t know, ME, what do I get in return? An ingrateful little mouse that escaped whilst being relocated to her new pink palace.
We looked for her, but alas, the basement has too many mouse-sized nooks and crannies. Mimi is gone, not even a week after she came. Not even a week after I SAVED HER LIFE. Remember how I saved her life and proceeded to treat her like a pet instead of vermin? Remember that? Because apparently Mimi totally forgot.
I feel used. I feel sad. Tears were shed. I guess all those pumpkin seeds meant nothing to her. And yet, if she asked me to, I’d take her back. Also, if the cat caught her again.
The upside of all this is that I have a Pink Princess Play-Castle all set up for the hamster that I’m going to buy tomorrow. The hamster that will love me and never leave me, and perhaps go on outings in my pocket. Oh yeah. I’m that kind of crazy.
that ungrateful little so and so... just forget about her, think of all the fun you will have with your new hamster. i bet that as soon as mim sees the new addition in that pink castle she will come back begging to be held. but if she does don't give in, just let her go. she has left you once, she will leave you again. E’s last blog post..day 3
Sorry about the missing pet...but just think, now you won't die in 22 days because you have contracted a mysterious organ-eating disease from dear Mimi. Good luck with your hamster...that is only slightly better but hopefully will carry no viral strains.
don't feel sad, she only wanted to vist her family or husband! :D
