Pets Pets Pets

Even before I was born there were pets around. I've essentially grown up with animals. I've never not had a pet in my whole 18 years of living. In total I've had 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 mice, 1 rat, 1 hamster, loads and loads of fish, 2 guinea pigs, 2 snakes ( one fell ill and unfortunately died), 1 bearded dragon and one rabbit. I think that is me listed everything.
The only pets I still have are my dog Holly, one of my cats Emmy and the newest addition to the family my other cat Hayley. We got Hayley after Christmas about 3 years ago - shortly after my cat Rupert passed away. He was 18, and unfortunately he was really unwell before he died. Rupert had been my first pet, and I was completely heart broken when my parents decided to have him put down, his way of life wasn't good anymore as he wasn't eating and was really weak. I miss that little black cat. I'm actually beginning to well up thinking about him.
My cat Emmy was bought from a farm about 15 years ago - I could be completely wrong. I remember the day we got her, she was sat in a little shoe box as we drove home - she was wild and kept jumping about the car. I know I was only 3 or 4 when we got her, but I asked my mum if what I remembered was right and she said it was. I was told to hold onto her as we drove home, but she kept crying and then started jumping around the car like a nutter.
Emmy is such a suckup, she always wants a hug. She will also eat any thing - the other day she ate a cheesy Wotsit. The be more dog advert, they should use my cat she is basically that advert. She also likes to have her belly rubbed. What a little cute little fatty.
Thought I'd never get a picture of her - she NEVER stops moving!!!!
Hayley - the newest addition to the family - was brought back in January a few years ago. I remember getting ready for school in the morning and my dad came to the door after his night shift with a cardboard box and a little black and white cats head poking out. When we got her she was so cute - sort of wild, she had just been rescued from my dads yard. My dog went to go eat the food we had given Hayley, and the cat went for Holly - the dog. She is a wild one. They get on now, its us humans she doesn't get on with all the time.
Holly, my little puppy. She is a Collie cross with a Labrador. She has bundles of energy considering she is getting old - I think she is 10/11 years old now. When she was a puppy she was so small that we couldn't find a collar small enough for her - we ended up having to use a toy dog collar - the toy was also her bed buddy. When she was a puppy she used to not like sleeping on her own, so we would have to wait with her until she fell asleep. What a little spoilt pup. I love messing around with her, for all I say how much she annoys me I do love her lots.
Here is a picture of my little bunny - she died at the start of the year after getting frightened by a fox. I loved my little Luna oh so much - she was such a character, chased my cats and was so friendly and loved cuddles. I think I might need to get myself another mini lop.
I love animals so much, always have and I always will. Every time one of my pets has died I have cried like a huge baby - my rabbit last year, my cat 3 years ago and my little hamster. I loved my little hamster - I really want another one but I'm worried that it won't be as brilliant as my little ginger buddy was. I'd also love a goat, random but yeah. A goat, another dog, a hedgehog or some other small animal would be loved greatly by for all of time.
I really love animals, and really want another pet but my mum wont let me. 
Do you have any pets?

Life post - A bit about me?

I wasn't sure what to name this, hence the relay plain and boring name. I've never really done a "life" type post, but thought I would do one now - a sort of update/ look into my life. My life has been quite busy recently, and I'm sort of amazed that I've kept up with posts and such like.

On the 24th of September I went into my first year of University, for anyone that's interested I'm studying Forensic Investigation. So far I'm really enjoying the course - but not the back pain that comes from carrying my books every day. I've been going to classes for almost a month, its exciting and new - when you go to university, if you're not already there, you will have so much fun and meet so many people. I think during the summer I'll do a few posts for the run up to University starting, to help the new first year students, I found the ones that I read really helpful so maybe someone would find my ones helpful?

My Biology book is so bloody heavy!
In my first few weeks at University I signed up for quite a few things - sports clubs, more specifically dance, the fashion society and the gym. Oh and most recently I've joined the Cheerleader club hahaha. Oh god, this could be funny. Hopefully my joining the fashion society will help me with my complete lack of fashion know how, I honestly wonder sometimes how I manage to leave the house looking semi decent - I do however though, wear the same things over and over. So yeah, hopefully I'll get some style advice from the fashion students and then maybe do some outfit posts. I was going to do an outfit a day for a month, but then I thought that I would be showing the same two or three outfits multiple times. I'm hoping as well to become healthier, so when I get into actually exercising and eating better I could maybe do a post about it if you'd like? Let me know, cause if even just one person wants to see it I will definitely do that.
So far no one I've made friends with on my course knows about my blog or my YouTube, at least I don't think they do...? I'm not really sure how to bring it up with them, so for now I'll leave telling them about it.


I also start my first ever proper job at the start of November, I am really excited for it. It's only a Christmas temp, but its in Boots so it is guaranteed  to be brilliant! I'm quite a shy and quite person naturally so it's going to be hard for me to come out my shell during work, but I think it will be 100% worth it.

As I'm typing this, I don't really know where I'm going with this. But anyway. Maybe I'll mention a little about my blog? Yeah lets do that now. So currently, I am so close to my first "mile stone", by the time this goes up I may have already met it, but when I reach 50 followers on either platform - GFC and Bloglovin' - I will be so happy and over the moon. I was thinking of maybe doing a small giveaway, of one or two of my favourite products? It would, for now, only be for the UK. If I wait till he next little goal, then I would probably make it international, I'm not really sure. I would love any feedback anyone has for my blog, all comments are happily accepted - even if they are bad, they won't be as happily accepted though. haha.

Before I start rambling about so many stupid and random things I'll finish this post up here, if you'd like to have updates and posts like this more often please let me know :)
