Puppies, Puppies, Puppies.


One of my good friends breeds Papillons, and I don't think I have to say much about how adorable these pups are. The pictures can speak for themselves.




And then There's Kai, the pick of the litter.

This is Kai at about 8-9 weeks old.

 She's quite the quick learner.




 This is Mia, My cousin's new Jack Russel pup.


Looking at all these puppies and playing with them makes me kind of want my own. And then I remember the great old dog I rescued and didn't have to potty train or crate train or teach tricks. All I have to do is spend a nice calm night with her and never want another dog ever again.


She was perfect from the moment I got her. 


I love my puppy.

What Did I get Myself Into?

Well I am keeping this cat. Partially because I realized now why he was abandoned and why it'll be hard to find this cat a home.
Ever seen Simon's Cat?


And probably the funniest one;


I understand his pain...

Meet Tybalt.
Don't let this adorable face fool you

Although he is Photogenic 

And has likely the best markings ever.

This cat is a Tyrant.

Prince of cats, PFFFT.

More like Tybalt the Tyrant.
As I am sitting here, he's terrorizing a ball of yarn.
Now, I've had Tybalt for like two weeks. I watched him grow from a grateful hungry cat to tyrannous fiend in a matter of days. There is NO sleeping with this cat in your room. The other day I was napping on the couch and he felt the sudden rather rash urge to run all the way down my body and on my face. And then proceeds to look hurt when I yelled out in surprise and anger for the cat claws that were in my scalp just a moment ago.

Never have I had so many issues with a cat, ever. I love cats, and I love Tybalt, but he's a crazy cat.

He has his very affectionate moments, where all he wants to do is sleep at your feet. Like right now; he's tuckered himself out and curled up at my feet on the rug. He also keeps himself amused when he needs to. He just has a curiosity like nothing else I've seen.

Luckily he hasn't eaten my rats or my lizard, although there have been attempts to, and now my door is closed unless I'm in the room with him. He knows better than to jump on the dresser that holds my edible pets. He met the squirt bottle.
Tybalt doesn't like the squirt bottle. But he still likes to play in my shower after you get out of it. Weird cat likes water.


For his diet I'm trying to feed him on a grain free holistic diet. I also learned about putting water into your cats food to help with their health too. That cats aren't really supposed to drink just from their water dish that they're meant to take in 75% of their water in their food. Makes sense, I mean what bird or mouse is dry like kibble? My rule of thumb for animal food; if it can be bought at a grocery store and is a kibble, it's likely not as healthy as the bag says it is.
I think most people should try to feed their cats a grain free food. If I ate more meat, I'd feed a kibble free diet. But I don't eat meat often. Feeding your cat something with Grain proteins in it would be like feeding a horse a hamburger. It's just not made for their digestive systems.

While grain free and holistic diets are more expensive, you'll have a cat that lives longer and is less likely prone to diseases. Less Really expensive vet bills. Not to mention Tybalt's poop; pretty much ordourless now that he was dewormed and on a grain free diet.
If you're more interested, or need a bit more proof I really suggest looking into it. Click Here and Read up on it!

Tybalt is going in to the vet soon to get neutred and to get his front paws declawed. Although I'm not for declawing a cat, I am renting and I can be evicted if he marks up doorways or doors or the floors. I had a cat live to be 21 without front claws, and she lived outdoors for 16 years.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading and I really hope you look into going grain free for your cats and dogs.

Go check out more Simon's Cat videos! They're great for a giggle or two.

It's an S Kind of Day.

Well. We got some snow!
I woke up much to my delight. I am probably one of the few people that love snow like a little kid.

First off we have a Snowy Sheba Ear



Me and Sydney went out to take pictures in the paddock. And well....
Meet Stormy.
*snort Snort prance prance Snort*
 (at which point she greeted us, and was later shoo'd away in fears of her brother tagging along)
 Might I note she was still Snorting and huffing up a storm at this point.

 She came snorting back a few more times...


How could you not love that Morgan face?
After this, I went for Sushi, I didn't take pictures.
This is prolly the first time I've ever come home with leftovers from sushi. Fantastic!

Hope you had a good day. :)

A productive Tuesday/ Daily Shoot.

Well, I cleaned my house, litterboxes and cages today.
I still have some dishes to do but we used all the hot water... I don't mind waiting. :)

I am going to feature a little challenge once and a while that's called The Daily Shoot It's got a little project everyday. There's no way I can do this every day so I'm just gonna feature it once and a while.
It was hard. When you actually have to think of how you're going to compose a photograph. Here's a few of my attempts for:
Make a photograph today with a diagonal line leading the viewer's eye through the composition.


So here we go:
It's got all sorts of leading lines, but the main one is diagonal.
So you can totally see the junk I didn't sweep up. e_e
I also have a thing for Kitty feet.


Look at Tybalt's Nose freckles. :D
Mugs that aren't even involved in this, but I just wanted to show off anyhow.


I also drew a picture today:
Sarah-chan dislikes sweeping. Very much.
I wish Tybalt would help clean up atleast his mess. >:C



There you have it.
That was my Tuesday.

Sunday Stills: Pets

Well, I thought I would so Sunday Stills because it's on one of my favourite topics for photography. I love taking pictures of my animals and other people's animals. If I could; I would upload them all, but that would be a horribly long photoblog. So I decided to keep it really simple. 
If you wanna know more about any of these photos; just go ahead and ask away in the comments!

Morning Cuddles with Boris
He's my big fat rat.

Photography: Sunsets

Lately sunsets have been my interest, as I'm starting to play with my Manual Exposure setting on my camera, it is a great way to get practice on your skills to get a great shot!
I tend to enjoy shots just after the sun has set, leaving the glow on the clouds. I still consider these sunsets.

My usual spot for sunset shot is this little meadow beside my house that my Grandfather used to own. Mainly because it's easily accessible and it's got a very nice tree line.

Other various places include:

The Beach

Out In The county

The Riverfront

I hope you enjoy this shots as much as I do. I hope people will go out and take more sunset shots this summer!
Thanks!
