My First Ever Blog!

Hello everyone!

So, it has finally happened, I am giving up my blogger virginity at the tender age of 20. Hopefully, the first of many blogs to come! 

This week when Shaun and I were driving around looking for parking we saw a skunk!  I have NEVER seen a skunk before so I immediately screamed! "OMG!!!". Poor Shaun was so surprised at my yelling that he thought he had run over a small child haha. Poor Shaun! After we found parking we saw another skunk run across the street, 2 in one night! Now I just need to see a raccoon!


We put up all our Christmas stuff pretty early, but I didn't buy a tin of my favorite holiday candy Quality Street til last Friday. I decided to spend $16.99 + tax so I could buy the tin instead of the bag to make sure we would have plenty to last throughout the holidays, WRONG! I looked inside the tin today and saw that we only had about 5 pieces left! Out of the whole tin, I've had maybe 4 pieces. Shaun says it was a sneaky hungry mouse that got to them, who also seems to leave the wrappers everywhere..mhmm.. Who here wants to humor him? :)



This has been an exciting week, I've started making YouTube videos, second video I ever made reached more then 6000 views! Also, I'm up to 40 subscribers which I am very surprised and happy about! Love seeing people enjoying my videos :) Here is the Video if you haven't seen it yet!

Friday night I had prepared a lovely turkey dinner for us. I spent all day planning, preparing and cooking. Meal was lovely! I even bought Icelandic beer and a bottle of Prosecco as well as pumpkin pie for desert. So the evening was off to a great start! Until, I picked up Penny and saw something moving really fast in her fur! Upon further inspection I saw that it was fleas! EW! I freaked out and put Penny in the bath tub and scrubbed her good with some baby shampoo. After all that I could still see them! So Shaun and I drove to a veterinary hospital and picked up some Advantage since Frontline is not sold in Canada. We put the drops as per instructions and then all of a sudden Penny licks it and starts foaming at the mouth!! Automatically I freaked out and we called the Emergency Animal Hospital. I got so emotional that I couldn't speak to the vet on the phone, I completely broke down in tears and had to hand to phone over to Shaun so he could explain the situation. Then as Shaun is speaking on the phone, Milo reaches his paw to the Advantage spot on his back, scratches it and licks his paw and starts to do the same as Penny! I got so scared that I ran to the bathroom and got a wet wash cloth and started rubbing the Advantage off them. Luckily, the vet said that even if they had eaten the whole tube, they wouldn't die or have any serious side effects. Apparently cats foam at the mouth if they taste something nasty. Thank goodness they were okay! 



Lots of kisses and hugs!
