Koko the Ferret

I had a ferret named Koko Iggie (he´s still alive but now lives with my Dad, brother ans sister), he was a little crazier than I thought, very easy to live with, but with very strong personalities, totally addicted to cookies and the noise that comes from plastic bags (for some reason I never understood). When he was living with me, he used to steal anything from me: furry things, my brush, plastic bags, clothes and even remote controls! things would often dissapear for no reason at my house but I wasn´t sure of the right place to look for them, the madness started one day that I was desperate to find the remote control for my TV. I thought I was loosing my mind and maybe I had put the stuff somewhere else and I didn´t remember.

And then I heard some noise coming from under my bed, he had made a big hole at the bottom part of my bed, big enough to fit all the stuff he had stolen from me, everything was there in a sort of "apartment" he created, I even found a barbie doll from who knows where. I found it sooo funny to think he not only kept my stuff (the remote control from my tv and dvd), but also that he had built his own apartment.

I didn´t have the heart to take all my stuff from "his condo", so I just took what was absolutely neccesary. It was so funny and cute to see how he decorated his place, all the things creating a circle with him in the middle, ready to play with one thing and then grab another one.

He´s now living with my dad and sibiling because they have more time for him. A few months after he stayed at his new home, my brother called me to say: Koko has created a type of "shelter" in my drawer and stole a lot of things from Monica(my sister) and Dad.

But again, nobody had the heart to take out the things, so he´s still living with them, very spoiled and of course, with a new self-decorated "apartment"  :)

International day of Animals Rights

Today is celebrated the International Day of Animals Rights.


Most of us have heard about thousands of sad stories, have seen millions of pictures of beautiful animals or animals that have been hurt or abandoned, but how many of us have taken a moment to help them during a bad situation? Donating, Adopting, or simply helping a random dog from the street.

For those who haven´t done it yet, I´m sure you´ll get there, there will be a moment when an animal looks at you and you´ll feel that your soul has been touched for the first time, there no rush.

And for those who have, you don´t really need me to tell you what´s like to help them.
An animal lover has a heart that is over twice the size of a normal heart, and are almost addicted to that warm sweet feeling that comes after knowing that no matter how small your action was, you changed an animal´s life forever and for good.

Today is an amazing occasion to help with what you can, and trust me, for the animals shelters around the Globe or animals in danger, there is no such thing as very little money or too small bag of food, they will apreciate the help.
If you have a furry friend at home, take this opportunity to hug them, to take them for a walk or simply to give a couple of hours of your time as a thank you for those millions of hours he or she has given you.

Thank you for the time to stop and read this, and remember to stop the over population of stray animals: Spay and Neuter your pet.
