So, everyones gotta fill me in on whats been goin on the past several months!! Whats new with ya'll?!

New Baby Ball Python!!!!

Ok, i caved!!! I got the little Ball Python iv been debating on. He's soooooooooooo cute! I haven't come up with a name yet though. My other snake's name is Zabimaru (Zabi), im sticking with the anime names, but i haven't found one that suits him yet. lol

Well here's a pic!! -he was moving a lot so it was hard to get a pic. lol

Pit Bulls, please read!! ^^

Ok. This is going to be a slightly different post from my other ones. Its going to be a little more serious. But please read! ^^

As iv said in my first post, i have 2 female Pit Bull dogs. And both are rescues. Our first Pit Bull that came to use is Lilly. She is a pure white pit bull with really pretty gold eyes, and she is also 100% deaf. She has been passed around many homes. We don't know her total past, but we do know she's passed around, and that she came from a breeder. She was being sold over and over due to the fact that she is deaf until someone came to my moms dog class with her, and my mom ended up taking her cause the owner at the time didn't want to deal with being deaf. Shes an absolute sweet heart and very sensitive.

Right:Lilly, Left:Meatway

Our other Pit Bull doesn't have a very good background though. Her name is Meatwad (ok, my dad named her, she's named after one of the characters form Aqua Teen Hunger Force. lol.). She was dumped in the men's bathroom at the "Dale Association" in Lockport on a Thursday morning, ironically she was put in there right after the bathroom were cleaned, and just hours before my moms dog class started. When found no one knew what to do with her. By the time my parents arrived someone had already contacted the local shelter and told them that she would be coming in. My parents were only with her for a little while before someone packed her up and started to take'er over.

After a few moments from her departure, my parents decided that they had to save her. They knew that as soon as she arrived that she was going to be put down. Because she was a Pit Bull. Another reason was because her face and front legs had old SCARS, she also had an injury on her front leg-almost like she fractured it and it didn't set correctly. We believe that she was used as a bait dog for fighting.
-For those who don't know what that is, it means that she was used not for fighting, but to rev, warm up, or teach the main fighting dogs, basically she would be held on a leash while the other dog attacks her. Most shelters wont take any extra time to rehibilitate those dogs and just put them down-
So my parents jumped in the car and got to the shelter just in time where the other car got there. lol. So after that they took her to the vet for a check up. They came to the same idea of being a bait dog. She also had a heart murmer (nothing to serious though).

Today both are thriving in our house. The love to be together, and don't mind other dogs in the least. Meatwad had a little fear of dogs at first,but with some obedience training she's very well behaved. ^^

The reason for this post is to try and inform people about dog fighting, and how much the dogs suffer. And that dogs form those conditions don't always have to be put down, its not the dogs fault, and with a little time people can work with them. The thing is Pit Bull were not breed for fighting, they were actually breed for guarding livestock. They are built tough for defending the livestock, and are extreamly loyal to any job given to them. And unfortunatly, that loyalty to their owners is why they are used in these fights.
And in the matter of Lilly, yes she is deaf, but she is still capable of doing many things, a lot of the time we actually forget she is deaf.

Thanks for anyone who read this! I know it was a lot. lol

Peek A Boo, Riku!

This is my cat Riku! She's about 2...i think...lol. She, her sister Callie, and brother Griddles were born in our back garage. And my mom and brother caught the trio.

My brother fell in love with Griddles cause hes so weird, so he's sort of his cat. My mom fell in love with Callie cause she was so loving and outgoing. And I fell in love with Riku cause she looked adorable when she hissed at me. lol.

The first time I saw her she was in one of our cat cages alone-my mom was playing w/ the other 2- so i opened the cage, she pushed her ears back and gave me the most ticked off look and hissed at me...my response was "OMG! Your sooooo cute!!" and then she gave me a look like "i just hissed! why do you think im cute you sycopath?!" So she's been mine ever sence. ^^

I love her so much. My first cat, Ebony, had passed away a year or so before and i was really missing her. Ebony was my very first pet as well, i had gotten her when i was 3. She was a rescue... well...sorta.. she was born in Atica Prison(my father was the head perol officer there). There were a bunch of cats that had had kittens. The prisoners helped raise the kittens until they were old enough to leave, when that time came they handed the kittens to the guards. And knowing i wanted a cat, my dad brought one home.

Yeah, my life is interesting. lol

Anyway! This is Riku next to my touch lamp that use to be near my bed. The funny thing is that she actually turned it on! She did this in the middle of the night. She wrapped her body around it just right, turned it on, sat down, and stared at me, waking me up in the process. .....little brat.

..Snake....life.....dog swimming...?

Yo!!! Ok, first off, waz up?! Anything new with anyone?!

Ok, iv been thinkin of getting a Ball Python lately. There's this really cute, really sweet young one at a pet shop that i always go to to get my animals litter, food and stuff. Its also where i got my sweet little Corn Snake Zabimaru (Zabi).

The only thing thats holding me back from gettin'em is how big he can get. Ball Pythons can get quite large i believe up to 5-6 feet, the thing is that they dont just get long, they get like THICK. lol. I mean, Zabi can get 5 feet himself, just not super thick. lol

The thing is, i already have ALL the stuff for another snake, -the tank, heat lamp, water bowl, and heating pad. (iv been totally prepared for another one. lol)

I was just wonderin if anyone either has, had, or knew someone who had one who could give me a little info. Anythin would be apreciated. ^^

Other than that,..nothin much new here. Just work,...LOTS of work. I work at Office Max, and its "Back To School Season" so its like a never ending hell of people right now....*twitch, twitch* Takin care of animals,...the house...my grandma. My parents have been on vacation for 2 weeks now and iv had to take care of everything at the house. Though they DID take 12 dogs with them, so that was quite a load off my plate.lol. They're comin home on Sunday so HOPEFULLY ill finally have some free time to hang with friends and all (though sadly the majority of them will be off at college. *crys*)

Lol. Ok. I had to quickly post this. This is My Yellow Lab "Lady Byng" (though i just call her Byng, she's named after the good sportsmanship award in Hockey. lol). This is my genius dog trying to swim in a foot of water......ever heard of the expression "not the brightest crayon in the box"? Yeah, well, Byng is Grey on the color scale. lol
Though i LOVE to make fun of her, she is a good dog, loving, and entertains the crap outa me. lol
