New Pets


Before Reese was born, we have some lovely hamsters (at one time close to 20!) and we spent alot of money on cages and tunnels for our fury pets. We also had two turtles. It kept us occupied and we love it. Then I got pregnant and we were told these little pets might not be good for me and baby. So as the pregnancy progresses, we gave the hamsters away to friends and we let the turtles go at the lake in Lake Gardens.

We bought an aquarium when Reese was about 1 plus thinking that he would like watching the fishes and hubby and I can enjoy the fishes too. But due to taking care of Reese and for reason unknown to us , all the fishes died. So we decided to stop raring fish!

Sometime last year, we tried again, restock some fishes and decorated the aquarium. Ever since then, Reese has been enjoying the fishes, watching them swim, watching them eat and everyday without fail, he will ask his daddy to feed fish 'mum mum' (food).

Then he took an interest in turtles. Last week we bought him two green turtles and now every morning and evening, he will feed them and watch them. It's fun for him and hopefully he will learn a thing or two about pets. ;)

Pets are lovely. I love them too, as long as I dont have to take care of them! I am just too lazy to care for all these stuff. Housework & lil one takes up all my time already. My son loves cats but .. for the moment, we will keep to those strays along the streets.

We had 2 turtles too, but one died.

So the surviving one now lives in the aquarium with the fish. It's actually gown quite big.

Dear Mummies,

Pets are indeed wonderful but the caring part not so fun. :) Family First, Cats???? better think twice, imagine having to sweep the floor at least twice a day due to the fur!. Wah, Merryn, so romantic.... can still do that with the kids around? hehehe... Moomykin, our plan is to put the turtles together with our fish... when they can't survive in the basin..hehe
