Animal YouTube Pick of the Week

So after last week’s geeky theme, I decided to put all the animal videos I had together in one cute and cuddly post!

I love this channel, Jupiter the Cat never fails to crack me up. And the voices and timing are always brilliant in their videos and this one doesn’t fail to deliver either!

Here’s my otter (I will always call him *my* otter!) Oscar/Ollie being fed!

Yet another Oscar/Ollie one, this time having a bath. Isn’t he adorable?!

This was my favourite video to come out around Shark Week!

The look on this cat’s face is priceless. PRICELESS!

Finally, typical cat!

Otterly Adorable

So almost two weeks ago, my friend called me. She has gotten a call from the Dingle Wildlife and Seal Sanctuary to know if anyone in my area could go check on reports of two baby otters stranded on the beach. So off I went with my boyfriend to go check, one of the guys was wily and hid in a hole in a wall so we couldn’t get at him but this guy was by the shoreline, was weak and barely even moved when we approached him and would have been washed away when the tide came in later that evening. We contacted the sanctuary to see what to do and they asked us if we’d mind looking after him for the night and they’d be up early in the morning to collect him and try and get the other guy. Of course we said yes! The poor thing was so shy and barely moving, he was very cold and weak. We took him home and looked after him and I got SO attached! We had him in a big plastic box, complete with a towel and a hot water bottle to help warm him up. We tried to give me some warm water mixed with a pinch of sugar and salt, as instructed by the people at the sanctuary, but he wasn’t particularly interested. We left him alone for a while in the bathroom (with the box he was in in the bath) and after I went to bed, he started ‘meeping’ quite a bit and I felt so bad for him that I took the box into the bed and he stayed beside me while I read. My boyfriend went to go to the bathroom, deciding not to use the the one the otter was in but wanted to check on him first, full expecting me to be lying on the floor next to him. Instead he came into our bedroom and discovered the otter in the box on his side of the bed!! When my boyfriend eventually went to bed we moved Oscar (as my younger siblings decided to call him) back into the bathroom.

We were woken in the morning by him meeping quite a lot. After my boyfriend left to meet the sanctuary people at the beach I decided to go into Oscar as he seemed upset. And indeed he was. He had managed to get out of the box but was still in the bathroom. He had done his business there and seemed to be upset about that. I washed him and the bath with the shower attachment, wrapped him up in a towel and brought him back to bed with me. He had stopped meeping at this stage though unfortunately my boyfriend arrived back shortly after that to take him to the sanctuary people. I was heartbroken, I’d really fallen in love with Oscar! He was so cute and so soft and fluffy. They never found the other otter, he stayed hidden unfortunately. Though Oscar (now called Ollie) is doing great and you can check out some pictures of him on the Dingle Wildlife and Seal Sanctuary Facebook page. But here are some more of my pictures!

Giving a wave!

30 Days of Pinterest: Day 15

I had great plans for today, crafty plans. Which all fell apart when I found myself awake into the early hours, just as the sun was rising. So I decided to get up myself, meaning hours later in the middle of the day I fell asleep. So here’s day 15, 3 hours too late but complete with cute animals to make up for it (you can’t be mad when there’s cute animals). Cause some days all you need is to look at some cute animal pictures and feel all squishy inside!

Not sure where the picture is from,it just links to Pinterest. It is from this video though.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, more Happy Birthday to rare opal than to me. It’s been a year since my first post! Did it turn out how I thought it would after a year? Not really, sometimes it’s bloody hard to be motivated! But I’ve really enjoyed writing again, catching up with old friends  and making new friends through other blogs. Part of the reason I got into blogs is because I had gotten bored with magazines, so reading all types of blogs has been interesting and you constantly find new things to interest you. If you’re lucky like me and land into the right part of the blogosphere, you’ll meet some amazing people and make some real friends.

So thank you to everyone who has read my witterings, took time to comment on posts and who have supported me in general. If you really want to celebrate, go make some cupcakes (any excuse right?!).

 

My Little Pony…

I walked out my home a few weeks ago and was greeted to this sight! I was quite surprised as there were so many of them but I thought they looked really cute and sweet.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day to you! Whether you’re a lover or a hater of the day, single or loved up, show someone close to you that you love them. And then try and do it every day! After all, every day should be Valentine’s Day!
And here’s one of my favourite loved up pictures. It’s all about the cute animal pictures these days!

What are your plans for today? Mine is a nice bubble bath and probably the Leader’s Debate for the General Election. Yep, how romantic!

Things I Like: #1 Cute Animal Pictures

There’s so many things I like in this world but seeing as I lean more on the pessimistic side of life, I sometimes forget them. So I want to make some posts of things that make me warm and fuzzy inside!

I’m not the world’s biggest animal lover but I’m a total sucker for cute animal pictures. This post is for cute ones, I also love funny LOL Cats but I’ll leave that for another day! If I ever want a fix of cute animals, I go straight to Cute Overload and within minutes, I’m melting from all the adorable pictures. Though some make me giggle too. Here’s a tiny selection of ones that I like.
