Pets for the win!

Hello hello there,

So today we got the grand idea of getting a pet. A pet rat! He is so gorgeous it's silly. But, he has been lumbered with the unfortunate name Buga. Pronounced Bugger. Just to be clear, not my choice! I'm just glad he won't recognize that he is called Buga and get a complex about it or something.
It has been one hell of a mission packed day today! Built an epic rat enclosure (complete with a massive plastic window and two floors), shopping trip to get all of the bits and pieces to keep little Buga occupied and warm, and then actually buying him! He is very spoiled, he has a running wheel, an igloo to sleep in, plenty of food and water and also a little ball to run around the house in! It's like a Zorb, but rat sized. EPIC. Can't wait to get him in it!

Got to play with my cute little nephew in law aswell. 10 months old and so cute!

Update on Mr.Buga, We got him in the Zorb! Yussss! Didn't really know what he was meant to do... but got him in none the less! We've kind of gone nuts on the whole thing I think. We have made him a little bridge to play on, he has a dinosaur to chew on, ping pong balls to play with and camo netting to climb on! Plus fake flowers strung around his cage. Just for a bit of colour... :-P

So tomorrow morning will be interesting. Blood tests! W00t! NOT. I usually end up nearly passing out so I am not looking forward to this... AND it's a fasting one so I can't have breakfast! :-(
Plus on top of that it looks like I'm going to have to have knee surgery at some stage. I finally found a doctor who is willing to refer me to an Orthopedic surgeon to get this shit sorted! I have been in pain for the last seven years and no doctor has even thought about doing anything remotely helpful. My doctor For The Win! Will be nice to be able to sit cross legged again AND be able to walk when I get up!
