The adventures of a small axolotl called Kitty

A couple of weeks ago, the moment I'd been waiting for for aaages (well, ok, a month) finally arrived- the postman knocked on the door and handed me a little parcel, and I ran upstairs to open it. After layers and layers of bubble wrap and sellotape, there she was- a little water marshmallow!



Before I say any more, sorry about the awful photo quality. Need to get my hands on a decent camera. Also that I won't know if the little one is male or female for another six months or so, but for the moment it's a she and is called Kitty (regardless of gender outcome- poor thing doesn't need the burden of gender, and Kitty is a perfectly acceptable name for a male swimmy weird thing too!). Mostly because of this:



So after a little while of floating in the tank in the bag she arrived in, to get used to the temperature, Kitty was released into her new home.



Everything a little lotl could want- a teapot and mug, some bogwood and a stone thingy to play in, and some plants (which I've bought since taking this photo). And a lovely painted background, from a lovely lady. She's settling in nicely- thisphoto is ridiculously blurry, but I love how she's looking at the camera (ok, phone) with her little beady eyes.



To be continued!

BUNNIES!

I've just been to the Bristol RSPCA to choose my bunnies! If the house visit goes well, they're mine :)
I picked up the little brown/grey one first and she nuzzled me to see what I smelled like and licked my nose. Then I cuddled the black and white one and he decided I was very interesting and sniffed me, nudged me and then gave me bunny kisses too. They're inquisitive little things, and so so soft. I cuddled at least one of every pair of rabbits there (there were quite a few!), with these two being the first I met, and I just had to have these. I was quite taken by the big rabbits that can give you big hugs, but couldn't say no to these little ones.
Decided to get two, so they can keep each other company when I'm out. I can't decide whether to have them free range in my flat (litter box and bed, but otherwise living like little cats!) or get a hutch for when I'm not around to supervise how much of my belongings they chew to bits. Also names! I want to rename them, good names for a pair- some of the other rabbits were called Gin and Tonic, Cheese and Pickle- something like that.
I can't wait to take them home! I'm so full of squeak and grin.

Painting!

I've been getting back into painting and scribbling recently, and I've just set up a deviantart account. http://aeviette.deviantart.com/ I'm going to try and do at least one piece a month, hopefully more.
