Milou of Meijer

My mom is getting concerned that I talk too much to myself. She thinks it'll be better if someone else lives in the apartment so that I won't seem so looney when I mutter incoherently to nobody in particular.

This is where Milou comes in. She hails from Meijer, and my mom persuaded her to come live with a neurotic, high-strung writer. Milou is named after a Belgian dog. He's better known as Snowy, trusty aside of Tintin, world-famous reporter. The name suits her since she's rather easy on the eyes and a little arrogant - she bites instead of shaking hands. But she's loosening up, willing to leave her room and hang out every once in a while. You just have to put your hand out to her gently and give her time to respond favorably.

I think we'll be friends. We're already splitting groceries - I let her have some of the honey dew I bought last week.

No, no squeaking, tigs =) she's rather quiet, but loves to gnaw things.

shin, yeah, that's one reason why i couldn't resist taking her home. her color's pretty unusual - that stark white with a grey streak. also another reason why i named her after Snowy. or rather used his French name instead.
