I have spent the day being an ambulance for a fish. Lemme explain. Joey wanted a pet. He bargined his way through dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig and hamster to fish. So Suzie brought him an aquarium and he lovingly brought home 6 guppies, named Thomas, Rory, Dave, Mike and (wait for it) Octopus. All was well in fishy land, until one night Nermal ( Read more... )

HAI, Sam, you know what is not conductive to sleep? Especially sleep in a house you've recently moved into, and that you're alone in for the first time?

Last night Joey's temperature came up really high. We managed to cool him down a bit and he's majorly dosed up on Calpol, but this morning we got up and realised his first tooth had cut. So poor little one has a cold and is cutting teeth - no wonder he has a temperature and is feeling very grumpy ( Read more... )

Stupid frigging cat has brought a mouse in!!! She now has this poor mouse cowing in a corner while she watches it, and I don't know what to do. It's blatently going to die - it's shaking and there is blood. I can't rescue it because, well, how? I won't risk picking it up (I don't want to be bitten and I'm not sure I have the guts) but I feel so ( Read more... )
