I caved and bought the Canon 5D Mark 2. I’ve been lusting after it for a while and thought now was as good a time as any, so I made the purchase and tried not to freak out while handing over my credit card.
First pics taken on the new camera! Games night at Chatswood.
We went out west today to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Our original plans of driving down the coast were halted due to the extreme heat. It was about 40 degrees out west and my doggies weren’t coping at all.
We agreed to baby-sit Misty and Star over the holidays for Beverly and Chris. They’re such crazy little critters, but adorable too.
They look so innocent … I lie, they look like sneaky ferrets, and that’s what they are! They got into EVERYTHING and ate a hole in the fly-screen door when I wasn’t watching them closely enough. I also lost one in a cavity in the kitchen cupboards (and lured him back with ferret crack) and one of them bit Alec on one of his nipples.
Add in my two dogs, and it was four crazy critters in the apartment – quite a lot of entertainment!
The ferrets were really no trouble – and it was hugely entertaining to watch them and the dogs interact. Kahlua was, of course, completely terrified, but Buffy wanted to make friends with them and couldn’t let them out of her sight.
Things I have learned about ferrets:
The ferrets are moving to Shanghai shortly – best of luck with the trip fuzzies!
I would like to re-introduce Arthur, the sulfur crested cockatoo. He was raised mostly by Alec’s family after an unfortunate start in life, and is now, at around age 34, a vocal member of the family. He currently lives with Alec’s dad in Newcastle and has been left to us in his will – ruh-oh!
Excuse me the Cute Overload talk – my dogs bring out the silly in me.
This cockatoo came to visit us on the balcony. After trying to steal some pink buttons from one of my shirts, he eventually got sick of me taking photos an inch away from his beak, and flew off to steal shiny things from another balcony.
Just a few pics of the girls.
I spent the weekend with my girls getting some quality time in. I just love them so much and can’t wait till I can have them with me every day again.
PETA are quite wacky. Their latest campaign is to stop people eating fish by comparing them to kittens. My “sea kitten” is more of a princess fish….
My second attempt – kitten success!
Well, not so much of an update just a few pics I took today. Kahlua has had a bad ear infection for several months now, so her ear is constantly yucky looking. The vet thinks we’re finally getting the better of it now though, so hopefully it won’t be much longer till my biggest baby is back to normal.
Buff is the same as always. Silly, nutty and completely adorable.
