Odie pictures

Here are some pictures of Odie, my new hamster.

Amy and Odie

2009-06-10T19:10:00.004-05:00

I haven't really posted on my blog in ages. To recap what has happened, Amy has gone home. We got a nice card. But, at the end of the card, it said Emmie, not Amy. No wonder she doesn't come when we call her!!

The next thing that happened happened today. I got a new hamster!!! His name is Odie, like Odie from Garfield. Odie, my hamster, is a fancy hamster. He is a short haired tan hamster. He is so cute! I'll be sure to post a picture soon of Odie. We haven't messed with him alot today.

Snow Day!!

2009-01-16T21:53:00.004-06:00

Last Wednesday, I was let out of school early because of all the snow. This wasn't scheduled. So I had to call my mom at work. When I came home, I went outside to play with Amy. The snow was almost to her stomach. When she ran, it looked like she was a snow plow. All of the snow came flying!

I have a swing set in my backyard. There is a slide that was covered with snow. I took my sled and slid down the slide. I almost knocked my head on our fire pit. I was screaming even though it was fun.

If you are wondering why I haven't posted in a while, it is because Truffles was put to sleep a week before Christmas. The vet said that he had a tumor in his pouch area that grew so big that it pressed on his heart and he had a stroke. I took him out of his cage two days before he died and he couldn't walk. I was so scared. I didn't know what to do. We put him in the bottom of his cage to sleep. The day he died, I was at school for yearbook staff meeting. I asked my mom how Truffles was doing. She said my dad took him to a small aanimal specialist. When he came back, Truffles was dead. I was so sad. We burried him by my old cat, Genesis. We wrapped him in a towel with bedding and put a carrot in with him. I will never forget about the memories that I had with him.

Rest in peace, Truffles. We love you.

Our Rescued Dog

2008-10-12T17:57:00.004-05:00

On Friday, we rescued a dog named Amy. She's my neighbor's dog but since we flooded a few weeks ago they can't live in their house. They thought someone was watching Amy but no one was. My dad and I went back and forth, giving Amy food, water, and attention. She was barking and we didn't want anyone calling the police for her barking. So at about 8:30 on Friday(I was at school already), my mom took Amy and left her in our backyard. I was so surprised when I got home. My mom said that if they don't want the dog back, we can keep her. I was bugging her over the years to get a dog but she said no. I was so happy. We took Amy to Pet Smart and my soccer game. I finally didn't fell left out. We think Amy is part Pitbull, part Labrador Retriever.

Truffles' Birthday

2008-09-13T12:25:00.005-05:00

Truffles' birthday was September 3rd. We forgot last year to give him a birthday salad(since he can't have cake) so this year we gave him a salad. We put some of his snacks, a orange pepper, a cucumber, a tomato, and salad leafs. He really liked it only he didn't eat it all because it was so much. My mom told me to save it for his snack next time. Last night, I gave it to him and it was all rotten! So instead of that, I gave him some fresh cucumber slices which he stuffed. We had to get Truffles a new cage because the top part of the cage that he slept in broke. His last cage was a CritterTrail3 and we added on a CritterTrail1 to it with CritterTrail Fun-nels and CritterTrail Sky Dome. Those were his birthday gifts only I didn't put them together until last night. So that is how Truffles' birthday party went.

My Poll

2008-09-03T18:37:00.002-05:00

I have a poll posted on the side of my blog. I am the only one who voted and that's why Antarctica is 100%. When I'm mad, I always say, "I want a one-way ticket to Antarctica!" So that is why Antarctica is one of the choices. I will be posting about Truffles' Birthday in a little bit.

Me Sewing

2008-04-25T18:39:00.003-05:00

This has nothing to do with my pets. I got a sewing machine for my birthday which was April 15. Here's a video of me sewing a little piece of fabric. Please leave a comment so I know the video works.

Truffles and a tomato

2007-09-13T19:13:00.001-05:00

I had Truffles out in his ball and a few days before my Grandma brought over a vegetable tray that had small tomatoes on it. So I decided to give him a tomato. I thought he wasn't going to like it because it might be too sour or too sweet for him but he seemed to like it. So when I put him back in his cage, I put the tomato in his cage. He tried to stuff it in his pouch and take it up to his bed but when he couldn't get it stuffed, he went up his tube and while he was going up I was nice enough to move the tomato to the top of his cage for him. When he got up there, he seemed surprised to see the tomato up there.

Here's a black cat to go with the spider. (hee hee) She's a cutie except her drooling.

Spider

2007-08-19T09:39:00.000-05:00

This is not a picture on Halloween. It was it was a week ago. It built a web outside our family room window. We could see it making its web.

Here's a cute picture of Truffles if you are grossed out with the spider.

The Green, Hairy...

2007-07-20T20:26:00.000-05:00

OH NO!! IT'S THE GREEN, HAIRY CATERPILLAR!! OK, I'll stop now.

One day I was putting Truffles back in his cage when I saw the caterpillar on my window. I said, "What the heck! Mom come in here quick! There's a caterpillar on my window!"

I tried to get my dad to watch it but he was watching the Tour De France on T.V. (That's a bike race that goes around France)

We took two movies and a lot of pictures of the caterpillar. I'm glad I didn't put the one movie on here because I talked through the whole movie.

I like how the caterpillar walked. I tried to give it a leaf, but it was not interested.

We watched it for a long time.

Tiger Acting Like a Weirdo

2007-07-20T20:19:00.000-05:00

Last weekend, we were just talking and then we saw that Tiger was sleeping on his back really weird. First, my dad noticed that Tiger was sleeping weird and my mom and I looked over and he was sleeping on his back.

So now today, I was telling my mom the title that I was going to call this post and Tiger looked offended! He looked at me meanly. It looked like he was saying "How dare you call me a weirdo."

Here is a cute close up of him at the same time.

Bunny in the Garden

2007-06-15T08:55:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, while I was at daycare, my dad took pictures of a bunny in my garden. He took 9 pictures of the bunny but these were the cutest.
When I was little, we had baby bunnies in a bush in the back of our yard. They were so cute but I was sad after they hopped away.

Sorry!

2007-05-23T15:23:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't been posting often. I've been too busy playing soccer to even play with Truffles and post.

Here's a picture of one of the games.

Playing with Truffles

2007-05-03T15:54:00.000-05:00

A week ago, we had Truffles out to play with when I put him on my mom's legs. He started to slide down my mom's legs and it was really funny. When he got to the end, he fell off.

Truffles

2007-04-21T10:24:00.000-05:00

This is Truffles. I got him last August, the week my cousin was born. I always asked my parents if I could get a hamster but they said NO!

One day, I asked them if I could get a hamster, they said I had to do a lot of research. So, I hopped on the Internet and started to print out about 20 pages at a time. Then, I read all of the pages and my mom took me to Petsmart.

Since I was saving up for an American Girl Doll, I had over $100.00. But my mom said I had to give her half of my money. But this gift was the best gift ever!!! It moves around but an American Girl Doll doesn't move.

Tiger

2007-04-18T19:01:00.000-05:00

Tiger has a crooked tail. When we got him from my mom's friend, her husband accidentally stepped on his tail. Now he looks like Captain Hook-Tail.

Dot

2007-04-12T18:46:00.000-05:00

We got Dot with her brother, Tiger, for my fifth birthday. We called her Dot because of her white dot.

My Fish

2007-04-12T18:28:00.000-05:00

In 2000, my dad built a pond in our backyard. He bought many fish but some of the fish were eaten by herons. Some had babies and some got suck into the filter. We do not know which fish laid the eggs. I don't think it was one of these 6 fish.

We had an orange fish that kept on getting bigger even though we weren't giving them any treats. One day, it exploded.

About my Pets

2007-04-12T12:47:00.000-05:00

I am Kayleigh. It feels like animal kingdom came to live at my house! I have 6 fish, 2 cats, and 1 cute, little hamster.

My fish do not have any names because it would be too difficult to remember. They live outside in a pond with a waterfall.

My cats are named Tiger and Dot. I got them for my 5th birthday. They were 2 1/2 years old. 1 year before I got them, my other cat, Genesis, died of a jaw infection.

Lastly, we get to my hamster, Truffles! I got Truffles last August, about a week before school. Before I could get him, I had to do a lot of research.

That is the end of the animal kingdom that lives in my house.
