ASHURII-sgtfunkytown

Still not got a job apparently everytime i put in an application or a CV its like 'noooo not that bitch'. Keep trying though! I did apply for a place on the photography team for student magazine which i got so happy about that its unpaid but good experience, will be different assignments each month from the looks of it.. Be doing something that isn't this stupid empirical project. All this constant writing about sticking hands in ice is making me want to stick my head in a vat of ice lol.

You'll have gathered from the pics we now have another kitten, we took Spike and mum took his two sisters, Tia and Tasha. Her kitten Milly is Tiggs' sister so all related now. Zoe is probably confused by all these kittens but she's handling it well, poor thing has been through too much this year. 

Now to the bit where i'll end up in tears again. Our dog, Phoenix, has been re-homed and is now staying with a family friend who stays on a farm with plenty of animals including 5 other dogs. We were constantly out with her while she was here, treated her really well, kept her healthy and even tried to have a companion for her. But she wasn't getting the thing she needed which was a big space to run around and more importantly other dogs to play with. And that wasn't good for any of us. It was the most horrible decision we've had to make as a couple but we had to put her happiness first and she definitely seems like a totally different dog. Much better behaved, waaaaaaay happier, smitten with their puppy and getting on great with the kids. I miss her like hell and still feel sad coming home and not getting jumped on Need to keep telling myself that she's in the best place now and things would only have got worse here the bigger she got. I really hope to go see her soon. Was supposed to yesterday but my brother went completely wild and mum couldn't leave house (another story). Her new owner has asked me to take pictures up at the farm though so will try to post them on here. It'll be hard but i just really want to see her and give her a hug. 

So thats only half of whats been happening recently, hoping things get better soon its been an awful year in the way of pets.

if you can't tell already i'm putting off writing this essay and presentation and goddamn blasted research proposal, i hate uni . We also have three new arrivals - Spike our gorgeous black kitten and Tia and Tasha, two adorable tuxedo kittens who are staying with mum. They are brother and sisters There will be plenty of pics! There's some other sadder news but i'll wait for another time as i'll more than likely end up crying again :/

bye for now 

On August 16th Tilly was hit by a car, she just ran out in front of it and driver couldn't stop in time. She feels terrible but its not her fault. We all miss Tilly so so much, i keep crying looking through the camera because of the amount of pictures of her. She was such good fun and very cuddly, always good company if you were feeling down. Sucks without her  

Yesterday, the 14th, my extremely stubborn fiance decided to just give it a go and get a kitten. We'd been talking about it for a while, but scared of how Phe might react  (cos of course we'd get a dog with a shitload of issues). He pretty much just went ahead and  got him, explaining to me that if the situation looked dodgy my mum would happily take the kitten. So, we now have a male tuxedo kitten staying with us.  He's adorable and a wee explorer. We are introducing him to Phe gradually, HOPEFULLY they get on. 

But of course, being happy for two minutes comes at a fucking cost doesn't it?

This morning i got a call from my Mum. Jake hadn't been doing good yesterday, he was struggling with his breathing. She took him to the vet and discovered he was going through heart failure. The kindest thing to do was to let him go We knew he was getting old and losing weight fast but no one thought it would be so soon. Miss him so much, only saw him a few days ago Utterly devastated and heart broken It is so unbelievably sad that he and Tilly are gone, within a month of each other, i just hope they're in a better place with Smudger, Ricky, Mindy, Oscar and Charlie <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3. Poor Zoe is the only one left until the two new kittens arrive. 

Today has been really stressful, just want something to go well but know damn fine it won't Phe very nearly escaped when she got out her harness somehow, high winds out there so that only makes me angrier. I'd like to say i know things will get better but really i'm tired of trying to be optimistic because it always backfires...

I'll get uploads up to date once I'm feeling better, in the mean time there'll be updates on facebook www.facebook.com/pages/Ashleig…
