Mikki

Mario made a deal with Erin. If she did all her chores perfectly for a month, we would allow her to buy a bird and all the accessories. Yesterday was the end of the month so with all her money saved up (about $100) she and I went to Petco and she picked out Mikki. She is hoping a sibling will buy one too and name it Mouse. We don't know yet if Mikki is a boy or girl but the store employee told us that it is about 6 months old. She also told Erin how to train it so Erin would be able to hold it. She said it would take about a week. Apparently Mikki bonded quickly with Erin because she was holding him within a few hours. I am even becoming attached to Mikki. Maybe I will have to be the one to buy "Mouse."

I am so glad Erin got a parakeet. I think she will enjoy Mickey more then a rabbit.

Aww Mickey was the name of our beloved dog as children. Max will love the name as well...but not if you get one and name it mouse. He loves "Mickey House". He refuses to say Mickey MOUSE. I tell him over and over again that it's MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE and he refuses to listen and continues to say Mickey HOUSE.
Yay for Erin doing all her chores for a month and getting a bird!!
