Strange Animals at 41

All my pets are weird!!! Don't think we have ever had a normal animal in this house...
Tabatha (cat) she has mental health problems (see Animal Abuse blog) and lays on everything... Books, mags, my tablet box... I could go on but you get the point!
Jasper (cat) was a dog in a pervious life because he loves the rain, yes... Loves it and loves his belly bin scratched! Told ya... Dog in another life!
Kevin (tortoise) is gay! Had another tortoise called Brian and Kevin let him hump him... And he just sat there and took it! Kevin adored Brian bless him. Had to give him up because Brian was trying to kill Kevin... It was an alpha male thing. :(
Nigel (hamster) gets up in the day! Need i say any more?
Lennie (guinea pig) eats and eats and eats and he doesn't grow...
Lincoln (guinea pig) just wants to nibble my T-shirt all the time and hides in my hoody but 9 times out of 10 he has his head popping out of it... Good hiding there Linc!
Larry (guinea pig) just sits on you... Doesn't climb, doesn't move just sits there and actually likes kids... Non of my pets have ever liked kids so this to me is strange!!
I say that all my animals are strange but i love them all! They are my babies and i spoil them way to much but hey... What are you supposed to do with pets? Hehe!
Love them all!
See previous blogs for pictures :)

Another new addition

We have yet another new addition to the family!
I HAVE A HAMSTER!!! I have wanted one for years! And i meen years, I'm talking like 7 or 8 years!
My mom always said that while the cats were alive i couldn't have one in the house! Which is fair enough. But for those who read my blog knows that recently i have got 3 Guinea Pigs. And for those who dont know...
I recently got 3 Guinea Pigs. < lol! Larry, Lincoln and Lennie. Check out my last entry, there are pictures!
And the cats really are not bothered about them! Which is awesome because they will never be scared of the cats! Woo!
So me and my mom when to the pet shop to buy CAT TOYS!! < needed to emphasise that, we was not going for a new pet!!! Haha! And we want a inside cage for the piggies for when its winter and we can keep them in the attic. Then my mom said 'why don't we have a look at hamster cages, just for future reference' i was like OK! And she was just hinting about a hamster then was like if Ian gets on board then you can have one! I was soo excited i nearly screamed the shop down!!
I didn't want to wait so we rang Ian and asked him and he said yes and the rest is history!
I couldn't really decide on a name though but the name Nigel was stuck in my head. Mum wanted to call him Henry but he looks like a Nigel so thats what i called him. He's already bit me and my mom so he's a scrappy little thing... Fingers crossed i can tame him! Will be awesome if i can have cuddles :)
Hope he turns out to be an awesome little character!
No doubt ill tell you all about him settling in to his new home =D
Much love xx

Vets trip...

So...
Had to take Tabatha to the vets today. That was fun... NOT!! She hates the vets! Just like every animal on the planet! I took her because she's had a red ring around her eye for a while but i just thought it was sun burn or shes just scratched to much (she is known to do that) but lately she has had spots and scabs on her body, again thought she was just over scratching but i though id better get it checked out. Better safe than sorry plus her eye was looking more sore than usual.
So the usual beginnings of a vet trip usually start off with a 15 mins run around the house trying to catch her. Its a good exercise but a pain in the ass. But this morning i got all ready to run round the house but i picked her up and just nicely placed her in the box... That was such a weird thing! She usually fights me. She getting mellow in her old age! Ha!
So got in the car for the first time with her... Only been driving just over a year and she never been in my car before and she did not like it one bit. She was crying bless her all the way there! Luckily its a 2min trip in the car so that wasn't so bad.
Then we signed in at the vets and was waiting 20mins AFTER the appointment which i wasn't to happy about but he was lovely with her. Gave her a good check up... Her eyes are fine... Well shes got a minor infection in one eye but that was the most of it. we have to give her some drops in it for 2weeks, twice a day. He checked her ears, teeth, bum.... All fine which is awesome but apparently she has a bacteria infection which is causing the scabs on her body so he gave her a shot of antibiotics! We might have to go back in 2 weeks but he has left that up to me... Ill check if the scabs are gone, etc.
And through all this she didn't hiss once. She also didn't scratch anyone! Im so proud bless her. I know it doesn't sound like much but if you met Tabatha you would feel the same. =D So proud of her :) she was so brave... She hates been man handled. She gets really scared when we have to do something to her. Like give her some flea drops on her neck and stuff like that.
Buts shes all snuggled up on my bed fast asleep so shes chilled out... Until tomorrow when we have to do her drops again :/
So wish us luck for that! Ha
The picture is her at the vets in her box. Awwww! Thanks for reading.
