VERY bad news and VERY happy news.

I don't really want to talk about the bad news, so I'll make it quick. Miley passed away on the 24th. We don't know what made him die, but all we know is it's very sad. We buried him in the garden on the 25th.


Now time for the happy news! Also on the 25th, Me, mom and dad went to the pet shop. His siblings were sold, but I bet they died as well. At the pet shop, I bought Miley 2! He/she (we don't know!) is a husky coloured Roborvoski who's VERY fast and quite skittish! He's going to be a nightmare to tame! So far, he's doing alright and he looks healthy. In the night I hear him drink and eat and run about on his top shelf because he doesn't know how to use his wheel! I'll upload some pictures of the old and new Miley.

All About Dogs... again!

All About Dogs Show at Newark

A little while ago, we went to the All About Dogs show in Newark! There was an awesome dog trainer who had loads of dogs! He had a Schnauzer-cross called Teddy, a mutt called George (my favourite!), a pug-cross that was really funny looking, a wolfhound-cross and a Labrador! All of his dogs were rescued, and George was going to be put down because he was aggressive! When I saw him, I only saw a loyal, loving dog! They did all kinds of tricks, like jumping through the man's arms and getting themselves out of collars! The man even told me and mom how to train Maisie to do tricks like that! Right now, she's learning how to jump through Mom's arms!

How cute is his face?

There was also a Robin Hood show, but we missed most of it.  From the bits we saw, it looked quite good! The people were doing really cool (but dangerous!) stunts while riding horses that were galloping really fast!

Diwali!

Today is the Hindu celebration Diwali! It is a very exciting and colourful holiday. Homes are cleaned to welcome the New Year and windows are opened so that the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, can enter. It is believed that she cannot enter a house which is not lit up, so every household burns special Diwali clay lamps (diyas) to light the way for the goddess, which is why the holiday is also known as the Festival of Lights!


I did 3 crafts. A hammer-bead lantern, 3 play-dough tea-light holders and a 3-D collage of lanterns.


I'll ad some pictures once dad puts them on the laptop!
And here they are!

Piano!

I just did my Piano Grade 2 exam! It was my 3rd exam, but I was so nervous! I think I did great, and I might get a distinction! The examiner was a young woman, and she gave me quite an easy sight-reading peace.  I might have made one little glitch, but that was it! I hope I'll get my results soon!


I came into the exam 20 minutes late because the A15 was closed and there was no diversion signs! We found our way eventually though!


After the exam, me and mom went out for a celebratory  meal at The Sugar Mill! I had a 10oz Gammon Steak (as usual) and mother had Chicken and Ribs!

1st Halloween Party!

Recently,  I went to my first Halloween party of this year! Only two more to go! It was at Gamlingay and it was really cool! Safari Stew came to see us with all these cool animals!












He had 3 snakes, a stick insect, a tarantula, a skunk, a chameleon and a bearded dragon! I held everything, except the stick insect and the tarantula! He also didn't let you hold the skunk, just stroke it.
The chameleon was my favourite, it gripped onto my arm, but it's feet felt so soft!

Tilly and Lavinia were there, and I arranged for Tilly to come for a sleepover in a week's time! Can't wait!!

 

Really exciting news!

I should've posted about this sooner.. but I've been too busy with it! I got my new, baby, Roborovski Dwarf hamster last week! He's tiny! His coat colour is a sandy colour with a white belly and a grey back. He's about 5 weeks old. His name's Miley and he's so sweet! Me and mom can pick him up already, though he does have a nibbling problem. It doesn't hurt, and he's not trying to attack us but it is a bit weird seeing a small fluffy ball hanging onto your finger.


He's got Lincy's old cage, and I've given Lincy a much bigger cage! Miley is tiny compared to the cage, and he loves running on his wheel! Lincy also has a wheel, but he doesn't really know how to use it.


Miley's cage is in my room, and I love listening to him running on his wheel in the night. Even though it is quite loud, I've never been woken up by him.


I'll upload some pictures soon of Miley!
