Happy Birthday Missy!

My sweet 'tiel turns 3 today! My original plan for the cake didn't work out, so this was my improvisation. :) She also got a new toy and was allowed to play in the shower, which she loves. :D

Happy Thanksgiving!

I had a day off today so I made Pumpkin Pies and put up the Christmas Tree. <3
We have a lot to be thankful for.

My garden grows!

Yay! I passed this morning's exams, and even though there are still a bunch of other results I don't have back yet (due to the college's disorganisation!) I don't have to study anymore. Until next year, that is. I might finally have time for a little bit of a life... maybe. I still have to work though.
As you can see, my garden for my pets is starting to grow. I hope it'll get a lot bigger. Well, that's todays randomness.

Valentine update.

Photo from one of our many trips to the Avian Vet this week. Frankie came that day since we had construction workers at our house.
Yesterday Vallie had a follow up X Ray and it came back clear. He's still at risk for a recurrence or relapse, but he passed the blockages in his intestines and proventiculum. (Yay!!) Scary thing is that while I now know it was originally cause by a toxicity, I have no idea what the microscopic poison he ingested was- only that it was some kind of metal. I'm already so careful about what's in his cage and his environment, and even the Vet said there's nothing more I can do to protect him. I don't like that it's not enough. :(
Otherwise I worked at the Vet this morning, and I have my last exams on Monday before my first year of studying animals and Veterinary Nursing concludes next week!

Difficult week...

I have college exams at the moment, plus a driving test tomorrow. Everything's so busy with just a few weeks to go, but to top it off I have a very sick little birdie (Valentine.) He's at the Avian Vet hospital at the moment. He needs a lot of care but we're hoping he'll pull through. <3

Sweet little orphaned kitten...

I started class today by giving him a bottle. So sweet. We then went on to do dissections though, (not of the kitten- of cows and sheep and chickens and rats..) which was absolutely awful and made it a terrible day. I stand by my view that it is unnecessary and probably even unethical for Vet Nurses to have to do this. And now...I have like 10 exams and prac tests coming up and sooo much study to do. Better go.

My garden...

I always wanted a fruit and vegetable garden. This house had somewhat of one when we moved in, but Dad pretty much destroyed it in his "renovation" attempts. So I decided to try having a few pot plants with vegetables/ herbs bunnies and birds can eat- parsley and basil, and some pet grass which they and the dog can eat. I know virtually nothing about gardening so this may not work at all, but I figured it's worth a try. :) Only I don't like doing things by halves lately and now I really want a lemon tree...
