Animals I Like

So I was thinking about what I would blog about today and I decided to blog about some of the animals I like. Some of these are mythological animals and some aren't. 

Phoenix

Actually birds in general are my favorite animals, but I wanted to be a little more specific. I have always loved the phoenix. The phoenix symbolizes strength, and the ability to rise from the ashes from any situation. We may burn in the fire, but we can always be reborn and start again. Our mistakes aren't the end, there is always time to fix what we have done. Not only does it symbolize something amazing but phoenixes are incredibly beautiful, and their tears can heal wounds. 

Dogs

Border Collies to be exact. I love dogs all around, but to be more specific Border Collies are my favorite breed. Border collies are loyal, smart, fun and energetic. Border collies will always keep you busy and on the move, they require a lot of attention but are totally worth it.  They are very beautiful dogs, if you groom them well enough their black and white fur can look fantastic. Border collies make one of the best companions.

Horses

I remember one time when I was in the 3rd grade my class went to this place and we learned how to ride horses. I have always loved horses ever since we did this. Horses are amazing, they are fast, beautiful, they have personality, and they are just fn all around.  Need I say more?

Ducks

I don't even know where to start with this one. I just love ducks a lot and always have for some reason. It's probably because instead of a teddy bear I grew up with a stuffed duck instead. I just think ducks are really cute, and they are really funny as well. I don't know what else to say about this one.

Cats

This wasn't always the case. Actually my neighbor had a cat that scared me once, that caused me to not like cats very much for a while. I am really allergic to male cats for some reason, I'm okay with female cats though for some reason. My sister found a cat on our front porch around almost 3 years ago, it was a male cat. Surprisingly I never really had any major allergic reactions to him at all. He died over 2 years ago, didn't live for very long it was sad. We haven't been able to figure out what killed him but we think it was either something he ate, or he froze to death outside. His name was Marble, and after him I didn't dislike cats as much. We got a new cat, a female not to long after this. We still have her she is a really awesome cat. Cat's are so fun and enegetic and they do a lot of funny stuff. I'm glad we got a cat after my Border Collie died.

Anyway, so I think I should just start with 5 for now. I might do another post about animals I like some other time.

Squishables

Have you ever heard of Squishables? Squishables are big, fat round stuffed animals that are really cute. I bought one around the beginning of December, totally worth the $45 in my opinion. Squishables are made for hugging. Squishables also make good pillows but I prefer not to use mine that way.

I have a Squishable Duck, I named him Luke. Some people would think it's weird I still love this kind of thing when I'm in my 20s, I don't though. It's not a crime to love cute stuff.

The first picture was taken right after I opened him. He came in a box and was shipped by FedEx.

I had to figure out where to put him, when I took this picture I had decided that for then I would just leave him on my bed. He has his own place to sit now.

This is something a lot of people with Squishables do, they dress them up and / or make them look like they are actually doing something and take pictures. :)

This was taken before Christmas, the lighting made him look all red. :)

My Kitty

So this is our cat that we have had for a little over a year. Her name is cookie. She is a Lynx Siamese cat. We all love her she is SO cute and playful. We had another cat named Marble for a year but he died a  year ago of a spider bite. So we got Cookie a few days after that. I'm a lot closer to this cat than I was to our previous one whom I never even touched. I've been mostly allergic to cats my whole life but for some reason I do just fine with Lynx Siamese cats. 

The photos below were taken only 2 days ago. We propped up a mattress against the wall and she took a liking to lying on top of it. I've never seen her walk up or down it but I'd sure love to ha ha. 


 
 
 

This was taken on this christmas.

 

This was when she was younger, sometime near the beginning of last year, a little after the photos below these ones.

This wasn't this christmas it was Christmas 2008, just a few days after we got her, possibly a couple of weeks. 

Blood...

Okay we're all sensitive  to blood in some sense. Some of us are more than others. Some of us don't like animal blood but are good with human blood, etc. 

I was just thinking about the variations of blood squeamishness. Like, I'm afraid of animal blood it makes me want to throw up, but then I'm perfectly fine with human blood. I used to get a lot of bloody noses so I became use to blood but I've never been really good at biology and I'm not used to being around animals, and yet along inside them. Like this one time I was in biology and they were going to dissect pigs it was so gross! I couldn't even touch the thing without nearly gagging myself to death. I almost threw up several times and had to run out of the classroom.  

I'll never be able to make anything with meat so I might have to go vegetarian (just kidding)  I can't handle the meat because it makes me sick. 

I've seen humans get knives stuck in their back, have swords stuck all the way threw them, had their brains blown out, I've seen people that are totally destroyed such as in movies or photographs of people that are injured it doesn't bother me at all. I do feel a bit sad for the person though. I'm not sensitive to human blood or guts at all.

So if you are sensitive to blood what kind?
