EtsyMetal blog carnival, Pets!


Welcome to the EtsyMetal blog carnival
Blog carnival is about a group of our members sharing their experience on
a common topic: "Pets"

I love this months topic as I have a lot of pets! 

They are not everyone's cup of tea but I have 10 rats.  I did have 15 at one point too, it's quite a funny story.  So when my partner and I moved to France I decided I would like 2 pet ratties, I have had them before and they are great fun, so we got to little ones called Bella and Bo (who are now in ratty heaven, RIP little ones).  
We then decided we would like 2 more to add as we were getting this BIG cage, so off we went to get them and my partner says, "ohh I really want that big black one too!" I said okay, so we came away with 3.  Two days later The 'big black one' gave birth to 10, yes 10! Of course we didn't know she was pregnant and me being me I couldn't give them away so we kept them all, 15 in total.

Here are some pics

Bella

All the babies a couple of days old

8 days old

Here they are at 4 weeks

Unfortunately we have recently lost 3 of the babies who are now over a year old, to illnesses and we now have 10.  We had 5 girls and 5 boy rat babies which meant we had to get all the boys neutered and they are now huge! I must take some new pictures.

This year in January we welcomed another baby into the family, our little Yorkie puppy called 'Brutus'
He is the coolest dog ever, here are a couple of pics.

A very young Brutus

As he is now.

I hope you enjoyed meeting my pets, take a look at other participating members of
the EtsyMetal team blogs and meet their pets too :)

Full of cold

I am full of cold (boo) so I haven't been in my clay room at all this last week or so, I was feeling extra motivated too! :S
I haven't made a piece of jewellery for a couple of weeks now as I have had to cake my cake toppers made for this month and next, its been nice to work on something different.

So as I haven't got anything new to show here is Bella all cute and cuddly on my lap :)

Rats!



Today I got 2 new baby rats they are so cute! the photo shows there awesome rat mansion :)  It has a hammock and everything although they are yet to try it out.
I think they are still a bit nervous but hoefully they will calm down soon.  At least they have a big enough play pen to keep them occupied while I am working. 
I used to have a rat when I was younger called chewey, she was the cutest little thing.  Rats are lovely pets and very misunderstood :)

 Oh they are 2 girls and they are called Bella & Bo, sweet!
