  10. Genevieve says

    Rabbits, specifically Rex rabbits. They’re fluffy and silky, feisty and friendly, and they’re just amazing animals to have as a pet. Especially when you have an ‘enclosure’ like ours, which is absolutely massive, allowing our rabbits to live outside, but in safety.

    Dogs 🙂

    If I could get any pet I would get a umbrella cockatoo 🙂 a friend had one when I was little and since then I have wanted one

  18. Candice says

    March 23, 2016 at 1:48 pm

    My favourite pet, definitely a dog (we have 2). Our son loves both cats & dogs. Still deciding if we should get a 3rd one or get a cat.

  22. Faziela Harris says

    March 23, 2016 at 1:17 pm

    My favourite pet is a cat, particularly a Bengal or Ragdoll. However, if it were up to wishful thinking, I would want a miniature dragon for sure!

  23. Ayesha says

    March 23, 2016 at 1:16 pm

    We are this much closer to getting a hamster. Got the cage. Now the pet. But if I had it my way, it would be a horse. Dies that count as a pet;)

  24. Lisa says

    March 23, 2016 at 1:02 pm

    Growing up we had dogs, ducks, Guinea pigs and bunnies. However I just love having dogs! With a young child it has taught him compassion and love!

  25. Megan Hartwig says

    March 23, 2016 at 12:46 pm

    My favourite (regular house pet) is a dog, especially a daschund because they’re so playful and active.

Just to say, two weeks ago I didn't post any photos. We had an awful time in Uitenhage and for the first time actually skipped a round and went home early enough before it got dark.

Just remember that winning only comes after those tough times.

OH and my wall is finally up! Major victory!

I really feel like we turned a corner this weekend.
After days of pain, Nicky had dental work done and he is no longer in pain. Such a nice emergency dentist who met us on Saturday afternoon to get things done. 
Also the airsoft gun is finally working!
After weeks of getting the charger sorted we realised the batteries weren't fitting in the gun. Thank God for Linda and her crew at @planet_paintball.pe who exchanged a part to make the whole thing work and let Nicky try it out with some other people. At no cost. We are so grateful.

Last Sunday night we heard a crash but I thought it was from the other side. I thought I should look at my phone to see what was going on and saw missed calls from my neighbor.

Some guy had literally driven into my wall.

So while we have been dealing with fixing walls, insurance claims and a lot of follow up, what is a girl to do but take refuge in a chocolate desert?
