On Sunday Garden Girl and I were absolutely thrilled to have the opportuity to attend the premiere screening of Tinkerbell; The Great Fairy Rescue.

When I met the lovely ladies from Cow PR in London on Monday they brought along a fabulous little hamster called Oscar to entertain Garden Girl and Garden Boy and it was a huge hit.

Just hold the paw till the little light turns on, say anything you want and your Chatimal will repeat it back to you. . . . → Read More: Chatimals; Delightful Talking Hamsters
