A School Free Life

I said in the last post about me getting a rat on Monday..... I WAS WRONG! Today my Nanny and my Grandad surprised me when they took me to Sheffield to look at a pair of male rats, we liked the look of the rats and we got BOTH of them where as I though we were only getting one! They came with a HUGE cage as well, win win! Here's what they look like!: Not figured out the names out yet! I'll get better photos soon and I'll announce the names. ;)

Today my nanny sent out an order for my rats cage, It's green (same colour as my new room) and comes with a ladder and a small shelf. PERFECT! Next Monday I'll be going to have a look at some rats and pick one that I like, not sure AT ALL what to call it though. :( We (Me, my nanny and my grandad) went into town to look for some track suit bottoms for me, NONE of the actual sport shops had any so we're gonna have a look online to see if we can see any in my size.

Today I'm just giving a little update on how our (not so) little chicks are doing, as only one chick hatched we bought two more, they're Orpingtons. ;) So, just under 9 weeks later they were built (by my brilliant grandad) a new little coop and a run in the back garden, as soon as it was done they were able to move in, but we waited a few hours 'cos' of something my (brainy) nanny looked up earlier in the day! They are now settled in and they've already spent the night in there after my grandad got them into the coop itself. Today it's my turn to "tuck" them in if they don't do it themselves! ;) Here are a few of the photos my nanny took. (see? She's so brainy she knows how to work a camera!) Snucky (the white one and the one that WE hatched) IS actually bigger, it's just the angle! :) This is a REAL weird one!...... Snucky: ....... WHAT ARE YOU?!?!?!?! (The white one's the one that's in the photo <-----...

On my previous posts I have talked about Freya my dog, about her accident and how she's getting on...... SHE'S FIXED!!!!! After her 3rd operation Freya was locked up in a kennel for two weeks, not able to move for 23 hours of the day (the 1 hour for doing her business) so that she could not move so that would give the wound a chance to heal.   This was her between operation 2 and 3!!!  During those 2 weeks in the vets we went up and down visiting her and giving her loads of treats. After being home from the vets for 3 weeks she was FINALLY discharged! She is now allowed to run, jump, play, lick and scratch (not to much!) and she goes on walks regularly with me and my grandad!  This is her freshly stitched up after operation 3, doesn't look great does it! The only REAL sign to show anything had happened is a HUGE scar running from one side to the other! Once her hair grows back we will hardly notice it and the same with ot...

On Monday Freya had to go to the vets for possibly the last operation. She will have to stay there in a kennel for a week we get to visit her daily but as I'm not very well I missed out on today. :( today is Friday her 5th day there and she looks a bit better but she needs to improve a lot, because this is her last chance... if it doesn't heal now than it is very likely that she will be put to sleep..... :'( but i am super sure that she will come home in 2 days time and stay with us for the rest of her life which hopefully will be another 4 - 5 years!!! Here is what she looks like.... YEP! She doesn't look very good but I don't mind as long as she is alive, healthy and happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is what she should look like again in about 7 months time!!! :) SHE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!! If you don't know what happened to freya you can read about it on the  A Good & Bad Week Post

Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with! ...

On Thursday the 11th of June, I went a home education group to the Harley gallery where we looked at the exhibit   ' necklace for an elephant and other stories ' by David poston  a jewellery  designer. I did a short workshop of photography where we experienced taking photos of other people wearing a variety of jewellery .   I had meant to do the above post on Friday, but due to the following incident it been delayed here is what happened: On Friday our youngest dog Freya was badly injured. I don't want to go into to much detail 'cos' of how awful it was, as we was about to set of to help my grandad find her 'cos' had gone missing we found Freya wating there ! She had made her  own way back but only to find most of her left side HAIR AND SKIN completely off reveling a HUGE wound:(  But on the good side she healing quite well and she is back home with us and on all sorts of medication ;) WHISH HER LUCK!!!...
