Mooshika.org - Welcome! Bienvenue!

In the Hindu religion, rats represent foresight and prudence, and white ones are very lucky. Mooshika is the name of the steed that Ganesh - god of new beginnings and of fire, knowledge, wisdom, literature and worldly success - rides upon. The steed, of course, is the intelligent and gentle rat. “Mooshika” means “little hoarder.”


Dans la religion hindoue, les rats représentent la prévoyance et la prudence, les blancs étant considérés comme particulièrement chanceux. Mooshika est le nom du destrier de Ganesh – dieu des nouveaux départs, du feu, du savoir, de la sagesse, de la littérature et du succès matériel. Ce destrier, bien sûr, est un digne représentant de la race douce et intelligente des rats. Le nom ''Mooshika'' signifie petit amasseur.

Saturday's Walkathon and adoption clinic

Hi Everyone
There is a walkathon we'll be attending this Saturday May 26 from 9 AM to 1 PM in Parc Angrignon. The walkathon benefits Animatch, a refuge for dogs just off the West Island. We will have a booth set up there with a few of our remaining charges (the bunnies, some ratties, perhaps a mouse or a hamster, perhaps Daisy, my dog) and lots of information. If anyone would like to attend with me that morning, it would be much appreciated. We'll be leaving from my house at 8 AM.
Feel free to fill in your pledges and participate in the walkathon. Hope to see you there.

Save the Feeder Mice (and rats!)

Quite a while ago, a Molly Doolittle posted this link to our MySpace page. Check it out. I think it needs more information about alternatives - you can suggest contributions to the web editor through the site's Contact info.
