Now comes the season of candy
If I can find where I placed the best part of my costume I'm going as Rinoa in this suit: [link]
And My sisters dog will be Angelo!
I havent found my Squall or my seifer but I'm sure there are people out there dressing as them
I'm not going to any contests or anything though and I'm not trick or treating
I wanted to mainly post this to see what the bunch of you are doing ^_^ And what is your favorite Halloween?
Mine was when I was 12 and dressed up as a fairy, the constume was a tad small back then but I was going to crazy wanting a tomogachie, you know those new ones that talked? Well I was walking down the steps of a trick or treater house. And I heard " I am hungery" Looked everywhere and I didint know where it was coming from, then I looked right where I was standing and under the step was the Dog tomogachie! I was so happy I didint even care about my darn candy
Also have a tomo from when I was just a kid, it's a cat and back then people thought having them live a long time was awesome ^^ So I still take care of it remembering how awesome it was to have it live 3 weeks. And here I am with a tomogachie cat that is 780 weeks old XD Dang things HUGE but I still like just hearing it's ping sounds and the simple job of feeding it when most needed and playing with it I can do while going from place to place.
I think I got it the same year my family FINALY let me take care of a animal and thought it was a good start, who would think that a year after getting the tomo I would get a real life cat and three months laiter a hamster named Halo. Now I'm sitting comfertably with 11 rats, males: Cappy 6mo and asure 6mo. Females: Cerenady 31mo,cookie 10mo ,cheesy 10mo ,ginger 10mo ,artemis 8mo ,sakura 9mo ,sahara 9mo ,siarra 9mo . And my cat Mitsy 6yr , Betta Larulo 5mo and Matimayo my 2mo old guinea pig
Guess when your younger and going killer after wanting a animal so bad, when you get older you cant help but say " whats one more" to a rescue. And really it is that way, when I've got a cage that can hold 15 rats, a room that can hold a cat and a 20 gallon aquarium. a Guinea pig cage and a insect reservation tank. How can you not get them to capasity with animals that other people wont care for? I'm even getting into a Millapied Critter home because people in chicago are about to outlaw the shipment of them to the US. Yet why didint they do that for dogs when they got into the world? Millapieds are just as needed as the average wilddog today and if anything even more because they make once infertil soil healthy again?
One thing to be sure of is when you get into animals is to keep on top of it all, if you just keep saying whats one more and you actualy cant take care of more or your room isint big enough , that meens you MUST STOP. I see to many people loosing alot of animals cause they ether think they are respensible enough for a ton of animals or they think it's a "simple job".
When you think that each animal needs exactly 1-4 hours of your time together and not doing anything els, then it becomes a easy task, but you need to think of the food cost, beding changes and cost, medicine for when they get sick, vet visits, dewormings, diet suplaments, vitamins, warmth and a whole managery of costs, supplies and care. It becomes just as much a part of your life as eating,sleeping and doing chores. And if you dont have enough time and you just think :well one day without food shoulint hurt" or " I'll change the bedding and give them more water tomorrow" Thats when it's time to find a way to get some of them to a new home. You NEED to give them food daily, change their bed every 1-8weeks, give them water every 3 hours and give them their ettention and socialization with humans and most importantly teach people about them so that in the end what happends to "Animal horders" wont happen to you or them. My family once reached a time when we litteraly had to many animals.
We caught it early and no one died of mell nerishment or became unsocial. But I rescue animals from these kind of people, Larulo was from a pet shop with way to many bettas and they where all dieing. Misty was from a mother cat that was left to starve. and all my rats but breeder ones for my sister was from rescues of people who where animal horders. My three brown ones are the MOST noticable. They where hard to socialize again and a Hedghog was droped on are doorstep cause someone said "it wasint what they thought it would be" Thinking that Hedghogs and rats where like the TV shows or that for some reason when you have them you become popular. When the truth is the only people that become popular in your life is those animals
But it's still sad cases so I just thought I would explane that to show responibility for people who think "Man I wish I had rats" or " I wish I had that many animals" Cause sometimes it is AWESOME and I feel exactly like that every day, but in most cases people make mistakes and think that animals dont need this on a day or that on another. When every single day you need to remember, demestic animals where once wild, or was wild in that generation like guinea pigs today. And when you start to take care of them, they need their habitat. Be it a cage or your WHOLE room! They need food they can get every day, water when they need it (perferably in a water bottle or sippy cup) A lot of toys to examin and jump on, a bunch of bedding like shreded newspaper,cardboard sheets or any kind of easy non wood porus material to make their home the way they want to, and your human attention to keep them friendly and demestic. Even a fish like a betta needs your hand in his/her water every day to show domain and make them know that you are the only thing keeping them around. In this way the animal and yourself will be calmer, less depressed and more greatful for every moment they are alive
Untill I was 11 and my cat misty was born I felt my life had no meening and slowly backed into my own Depression, the moment she came around and I could show Respect for animals to my family, they embraced it and aloud me to get whatever animal in the world I wished after my 4th hamster.. In this case I know I'm abile to become a heathly animal horder and know when to say it's to much. Right now the animals get way more ettention by me then some may want, my rats and betta imparticular. So I'm alowing myself to get a 20 gallon aquarium, another rat cage to hold 15 more, a butterfly house and a Meal warm farm and even my own horse. After this I hope my meens will be supplied for a few more years as I become older and more capable for the tasks.
And along with this in the months to come I will become a unpaid worker at Shilo Ranch thanks to some insperation from Windfelcon and Skidboot ( My possible horse).
One animal that would be cool for halloween to get and release is a Teranchala! As of right now I'm in the search for one threw my back yard cause I've been told that some of the largest live in indiana
