Not really i'm just kidding (about the walking part). You might be wondering about my new pet coconut, cocoa for short. He is a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">male</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;"> teaddy bear hamster. He is so cute, today I have to clean his cage. Cleaning his cage is not very fun but its all worth it because if I show enough responsibility we might get a dog when Nigel is 7 and I am 11. I'll post more soon!
