Hey! So recently, I've been looking at dogs online but not because I'm getting one anytime soon. I've only started looking on Trade Me because my friend's sister is getting a dog so now I'm looking too. There's so many cute puppies available but I really want to adopt a dog from SPCA now because they need more help than those puppies who have great homes already. (Even when they're not sold to another family, their current home would be nice.) I have to be honest, when I was younger, I never thought I'd want to adopt a dog from SPCA and other organisations like that because I always imagine the dogs being kept up in small tiny cages while at the facility. I always thought that they will have mental problems because they had a bad upbringing and be scarred for life from the reason as to why they had to go to a facility. Now that I'm older, I know more information about organisations and all that. I really can't wait until I move out so I can get my own dog (which will be from SPCA or other organisations like this). I just went on the SPCA website and they now posts up photos of the animals at the shelter and have some information about them. One main thing that I realized is that the majority of the animals are quite young! Like most of the dogs there are 3 months which means that most of the puppies are just able to leave their mothers. And I always thought that the dogs in shelters were big, scruffy and looks tough but there are some adorable dogs on there! They're not the small breeds like toy poodle, shih tzu's, Maltese, etc but these puppies are still adorable. I don't even know where I'm going with this blog post. Just mainly spreading awareness to other people that you shouldn't be so close minded like my younger self when I thought all dogs up for adoption have a terrible background.

Have you adopted a dog from an animal shelter before?

Love,

Hey hey hey! Hahah as you can see from the title, I actually thought wrong about Domo being pregnant! Domo isn't pregnant which is actually pretty good considering the cold weather it was at the time! I'm really hoping she has babies during the summer time though because 1. It'll be warmer and the chance of survival for the kits are of course higher and 2. I'll be on my summer holidays so I can spend lots of time with them! I'm super excited to play with baby bunnies because I've never ever seen a baby bunny in real life that's younger than 6 or 8 weeks old. (I forgot what age the bunny has to be in order to be able to leave their mothers.) So it should be fun to take care of some baby bunnies. They aren't exactly the cutest when they come out into the magical world due to them being furless but they're still pretty cute! Like I wouldn't dare touching them when they don't have any fur (which I wouldn't/shouldn't be doing anyways) but them being furless just reminds me of naked mole rats! (EWWW! No offence to any naked mole rat enthusiasts)

Anyways, we found out that Gizmo is pregnant! Her stomach has gotten quite big and I'm guessing there's around four kitties! Well she usually has 3-5 kittens in one litter. It feels like she's had so many kittens haha! Hopefully we'll be allowed to keep one in the near future because we sell the kittens. It's so sad seeing them go though! :'( But Hazel wouldn't be very happy about a new addition to the family haha because everything's gotta be about her. ;) We're all guessing that Gizmo will be giving birth in the next few days so I'll keep you guys updated!

Love,

Hey guys, if you follow my instagram or twitter, you would know that Gizmo had kittens again! They are all so adorable. She gave birth to four kittens this time. Two grey, one black and one tabby. I love the grey ones the best because whenever they realise we're there, near them, they'll being to crawl towards us and then when they eventually get to us, we'll have our hands out on the floor and they'll climb onto it and just sleep. The black and tabby ones just sleep in the same spot as always and doesn't care about us too much. My favourite kitten out of the four are one of the grey ones, which I named Tea :3 I actually don't even know how/why I came up with that name haha I think I was drinking some green tea at the time. And after I told my friends that I named one Tea, they thought of other beverage names good for the kittens and they came up with Latter (for the other grey one because it's a light coloured drink), Coffee (for the fully black one because it can be black coffee) and Mocha is for the tabby one because it has a 'M' pattern on it's forehead, like most tabby cats. I actually just made up the reason for Mocha to be the tabby's name but it totally makes sense haha!

My life is so boring right now because I've been having so much assignments due and exams to do. I have no time to spend on stuff I actually enjoy doing but I think next week and the following weeks will be easier if I don't have any assignments to do because honestly, I'd rather be doing lots of (easy-ish) homework than be doing assignments :\

Love,
Elaine
