Entry 3: pet

I have a hamster called Princess. She is very cute but fierce and she likes bitting people! Once she bit my friend Samantha on the finger and her finger bled. When I heard about it, I scolded ," Naughty Princess !"( but of course she could not understand).

Princess also likes to shed tissue papers and make them into her soft and comfy bed. Princess is by nature very clean. She likes to pee in the same corner all the time. We always give Princess a small paper box. She keeps scratching it and she will pull the shedded tissue into the small box. When she does that, it looks like she's moving house. Princess is also very greedy. She likes to store food in her cheek pouches then she brings the food to the box and empties the food from her cheek pouches.

Princess likes to excercise too. She excercises by running on a wheel and scratching on a disgarded toilet roll. Sometimes, my mother and I would put her in a plastic ball and bring her to the lobby so that she would be able to run around freely without us trying to catch her.

One day, my mother's friend came with two adorable puppies which she wanted to sell. When Princess came out of her box, she got a shock of her life. She immediately ran back into her box and never came out again until the dogs went home.

One morning, we couldn't find her. We thought she escaped but she did not. She was actually under her wheel which fell over her. She tried her best to get out of it but all she could do was to go through the floor which was a grill. Her body went through the grill but her big head got stuck! My parents used a plier to cut away the grill so that she would not suffocate. After this incident, we decided to put her in another cage.

I find that having a hamster is a bit troublesome but I'm still glad to have a funny little hamster like Princess!
