~ GIGI & her Greeny (Both Are Not For Adoption!) ~

"Hello there ~ my name is Gigi the Giraffe from TSA! With me, is my pet puppy -- Greeny. She's my favorite pet companion of which I have ever adopted coz she never barks, strange isn't it? Well, maybe it's becoz she likes me a lot as I'm her only owner. Well, anyway, both of us are here to make sure all the Adoption Forms are being sent through successfully. I am also here to safe-guard the TSA to make sure none of the precious adoptables listed above are stolen -- or being taken without permission (as for me, I'm already being adopted by Ms Koh ~ the owner of this agency's website; and I can say she has been treating me very kind. Thus, I think I might stick to her for a loooooong time, for loyalty's sake, hahaa). And yes, thank you once again for requesting! My owner aka the webmistress here, will be sending you your requested adoptions over soon. Have a beeeyooteeful day my dear. From me Gigi & Greeny -- the double 'Gs'. And don't forget to come back again!"
