Pet Rats - Incredibly Cute or Extremely Gross?

Alright so thanks to my friend Grace, I'm now the owner of two baby rats. Yes, rats. Two girls. I have to admit I really wasn't a big fan but I have to say they are pretty cute.

They really are like the easiest pets. Get them a water bottle, a bowl with food, and a couple boxes and they are set. They pretty much burrow in their bedding and nap all day then come out at night. Which works out for me because I generally sleep til noon and they aren't active til I get home from work around 11. Then they are running around the cage, climbing across the top, and squeaking and chattering. They are really growing on me the longer I have them and I would recommend them to anyone wanting an easy to care for pet that will still have a personality and connect to you like a dog.

So for your viewing pleasure here are some baby rat pictures :)

Open Minded Review

For those of you who stalk, I mean read my blog actively, know that I've mentioned more than once that I had a list of piercings I was dying to get especially after I turned 18. Well, I finally did it.

Day 1: Tragus and Cartilage piercings 

Day 2: The girlfriend and I got our navel piercings done

All thanks to Bethany at Open Minded in Van Wert.

This place is just absolutely astounding from the amazing atmosphere to the beautiful jewelry to the awesome people there. The jewelry is custom made and one of a kind so that it's specialized to what you want. It's not overly expensive and honestly it's worth every penny for the quality and expertise you'll get. Plus Bethany is just a trip. (In a good way!) (: so if you're looking to get a new piercing or just some cool new jewelry or even a tattoo, I definitely recommend going to Open Minded, it's so worth it. (:

Gunner

Good morning blog readers! :)

Mmk so I got a puppy. Well, actually, my boyy got us a puppy from one of our coworkers and after a little bit of debating we named him Gunner. He's a Pitt Bull/Boxer/Dalmatian and prolly something else. Regardless, hes adorable. So heres our baby boy (:

Needless to say, I love this little man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, puppies are a lot of work and I don't have time for it and I shouldn't have given myself something else to stress about (can you tell I've already heard all of this?) and more bills but I think he's been really good for me cuz it gives me something to focus on other than work that stresses me out to no end. Plus I've managed to quit smoking (small victory) and partying and generally I'm getting my life together so I think its worth it. Yeah he's a lot of work but I mean its nice to have someone that needs me and it gets me out of my baby craze for now. It's just rough feeling like a mom with no baby so I just baby the puppy. :) Plenty more pics and updates to come in the future. Stay tuned!
