When I first downloaded and successfully installed PostPet 2001's trial version on my computer, I decided to get a Big Mouthed Hamster (aka Big Mouse Hamster); although penguins are my all-time favourite animal, I also have a soft spot for hamsters and other small critters.
The default name for the Hamster character in PostPet 2001 is "Jinpachi", which is an old fashioned boy's name; the closest I can come to is something like "Jebediah" or "Tex" or some other name that sounds like a character from a spaghetti western. (No offense is intended to non-spaghetti western people named Tex or Jebediah or Jinpachi). I decided to keep that name, even though my little hammy was a female.
I ended up having to say goodbye to Jinpachi when my dad requested that I remove all unnecessary programs from the family computer (bleah!), so these are some of my only remaining memoirs of Jinpachi...
