Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!
And Happy one week Birthday to Celine and Rene's twins, Nelson and Eddy! (And thank God they have normal names! :P )
This week has been crazy for me, with work, studies, and getting some new furniture- I've barely had time for anything. Tomorrow is Monday again so I had better continue with my attempt to get organised!

Dogs...

My neighbours beautiful doggies, as they took me for a walk.
We got Frank's Bitsa results in the mail today- that's the DNA test he had to determine what breeds are in him :)
More info here if anyone is interested- http://www.gtglabs.com/bitsa/
So- the results.
Neither of his parents were purebreds, so he has no primary breed.
His secondary breeds, however, are Maltese and Shih Tzu- in equal amounts.
He has a LOT of more distant breeds; specifically;
Silky Terrier 7%
Alaskan Malamute 2%
Border Collie 2%
Chihuahua 2%
Boxer 2%
Tibertan Spaniel 1%
American Staffodshire Terrier 1%
Pug 1%
Labrador 1%
Siberian Husky 1%
Irish Setter 1%
Cairn Terrier 1%
Bichon Frise 1%
Shiba Inu 1%
Boston Terrier 1%
And all the rest are less than 1%, right down to Dobermann at 0.2%
That's pretty much what we expected, except for the Malamute thing!!!
To be clear, the reason I wanted to know isn't because I had something I wanted him to be (or not be.) It's because he's adopted...which is a wonderful thing. One of the best things ever. But it does mean I missed the first couple of years of his life. I'll never know what his puppyhood was like or what he's been through, and I'm ok with that- but at least now I have some insight into the breed related characteristics he has. I have some idea of who his parents might have been. I like that.

The babies are born...

From www.people.com

Céline Dion is a mom again – times two!

The singer, 42, gave birth to fraternal twin boys on Saturday at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., at 11:11 a.m. and 11:12 a.m., her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"Celine, René and their son René-Charles are thrilled," says her rep.

One of the babies weighed in at 5 lbs., 4 oz., with the other at 5 lbs., 10 oz.

Dion's doctor, Ronald Ackerman, said at a press conference outside the hospital Friday evening that the delivery, done via C-section, went as expected. He also revealed that the twins were both born with a good amount of hair.

The twins are healthy, says Dion's rep, but will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature.

"Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," the rep adds. "René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here."

Waiting...

Isn't Celine a beautiful pregnant woman?!? Not long to go now.
As for my life; this weekend I'm babysitting my neighbour's dogs, studying for Monday's anatomy and physiology test, visiting my Grandfather in hospital and taking Frank to dog school- amongst other things! :)

Doggy school and other fur balls...

Frankie is the white one at the front. He had his second class today. He's doing well, except for a brief incident when he tried to escape, and the fact that he does not understand "down" at all.
I worked 3 Vet Nursing shifts in the past 2 days... I think I'll crash from tiredness soon, but it was a good opportunity and as always, interesting! :)

Frankie got a hair cut...

This afternoon :) He looks smaller, but cute as ever!! <3 oxoxo. He's also started adolescent obedience school. Spring break is over, so I'm back to classes, work, work experience, and working at work experience on the weekend... busy, busy...
Ooh and not long until Celine has her twins!! :)

Old photos...

Are great to find <3
The first photo is Cottontail Junior at about 5 days old. She was the accidental baby bunny born to Misty and Lucky, our two supposedly female rabbits!
The second are some of the baby budgies from Pecksie and Tweeties first clutch.
Both in Matt's hands. :)

Happy birthday to...

My little brother, Matt, who turned 21 yesterday!!! And as of today, I'm 24...

Birthday Dinner last night...

Was fun :) Good to see and catch up with awesome friends. We had Mexican food and Red Velvet Cake. They gave me flowers, and donations to the RSPCA instead of gifts which is awesome cause then less animals have to die and I don't really need anything anyway. :) Some people learned that fish poo...and played with Ruby, Missy, Vallie, and Frankie. :) I won't post pics of people here since some people may not want them online.
