July 26th 2015 - rock pet

Yesterday when we went to the rock pool beach lil man picked up a rock and said was bringing it home to make a rock pet.  We didn't get as far as doing it yesterday so we have made it this morning.

I have had to use UHU glue as pva wasn't strong enough.  We have put googly eyes on it,

Then I glued a small feather to a piece of pipe cleaner and glued it into the crack in the stone as a tail.

Lil man then found a camo button and asked for that to be stuck to its back.

He then asked me to put on some diamantes and he has called his rock pet "Diamond".


We have talked about how he needs to look after his "pet" and come up with some "rules".  Here they are:

* "pet rocks" are lazy and do no not need exercise and they don't like to be thrown at anyone or anything.

* "pet rocks" are not known to eat food and can survive without any.  Nor do they need any water to drink.

* "pet rocks" are clean pets and don't need baths or to go swimming, infact they don't need to go anywhere near water as they will sink straight away.

* "pet rocks" are already trained they know how to "sit", "stay" and "play dead", they don't know how to come when called and wont answer to it's name.

* "pet rocks" don't need to be brushed as they have no fur or feathers.

* "pet rocks" can be left unattended for long times and will not cause problems or make a mess.


We hope you can find a relative of Diamond and make your own rock pet and have fun like we are.

July 16th 2015 - Kitten

So today my friend sent me another pic of her kitten that I am having off her.  I commented about how cute she is and I can't wait to get her.  My friend said that Mum isn't really bothered by them and is isn't feeding them and just getting fed up of them, the kittens are litter trained, eating solid food and on kitten milk so if I want her early I can.

So I went and got her today.  We have named her Starla, she is gorgeous!  She is still really tiny and very playful.  She has taken a feather and a puff ball from the craft box and is playing with them, as well as a small rubber "spikey" ball and an empty drinks bottle.  She has also chased the laser light round the room.

I introduced her to Flame our eldest cat, Flame hissed and spat at Starla, Starla just bounced towards her!  This has happened 2 or 3 times, but it was expected.  Willow our other cat came towards kitten, Starla moved and Willow ran out of the room with the kitten hot on her heels. LOL!  I'm sure they will all get on, they are going to have to as all live here.

She has curled up beside meon the sofa and gone to sleep.  She was sat up but as she got into deeper sleep slid over,so she is now laying down.  My boys are really happy that we have her and all thinks shes lovely.
