Have you met Ted...

In my first year of teaching, 2009, I bought goldfish for a class pet. Unfortunately I didn't do very well looking after goldfish...though they did last until November last year.

I'd been thinking about getting a rat...and then I saw the cutest little mouse cage and I was sold. I wanted a mouse.

I brought Ted home on Thursday and our cat Harry decided the best way to say hello was by swiping at his cage with her claws. I'm sure she thought we'd brought her dinner.

The kids are back at school on Wednesday, but Ted's going to hang out at my place a little longer before I him in to class. I'd rather the kids were settled before I subject a poor little mouse to them!
