The newest addition to my family

Hello my butterflies!

Today, my family and I added another member. We got a chinchilla! His name is Rascal and he is SOOOO CUTE!! It's a crazy story actually. My dad wanted to get a chinchilla so we called some pet stores. One store had a chinchilla (Rascal) for adoption! Once we heard that, we had to get him. So we did! We adopted a chinchilla! I'm so excited and I look forward to many years of caring for our newest little pet. If you want to see pictures of him, follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/AriaCortes. He's so cute that I can't resist taking pictures of him!

Live Butterfly Garden Update!

Hello my butterflies!

As I told you all earlier in June, me and my family own actual butterflies that we got from the Live Butterfly Garden. Well, yesterday was the day that we had to let them all go. You're only supposed to keep them for about two weeks, since their life span is only about a month. You have to let them go so that they can create more butterflies! It was sad but I was excited. The first 8 came out relatively fast, then another 2 came out. We were left with one, and this one refused to come out! I swear, we spent about 4 minutes trying to get it out without hurting it! It loved us! Eventually, it decided to be free with the rest of its brothers and sisters. We watched them fly around, then went home. It was a great experience owning, caring for and releasing the butterflies! I hope to get more soon!

RIP Buddy

Hello my butterflies.

Today is a sad day for me and my family. I woke up this morning to find that my pet bunny Buddy has passed away. As I told you guys last month, she was really sick. My family and I did all we could to help her, but it wasn't enough. She was 3. RIP Buddy, go hop in heaven. We'll miss you.

Live Butterfly Garden

Hello my butterflies!

For my little sister's brithday, my dad decided to get the Live Butterfly Garden. Today, they came! We have 11 caterpillars, 5 in one jar and 6 in another. They are sooo cute. I literally sat in front of the jars watching the caterpillars for a good 15 minutes! I think it's funny because I call you all my butterflies and now I also own actual butterflies! How cool is that? I can't wait to watch their transformation!

Not a happy morning

Hello my butterflies.

I'm sure you all know that I own a pet bunny. If you don't, her name is Buddy. She was named after the elf Buddy in the movie Elf  because we got her around Christmas and it's a family tradition to watch that movie during Christmas season.

Well, today was not the best morning for us. We had to take her to the vet because she's started walking weird and we didn't know what was wrong. We took her and the outlook doesn't look good. The vet gave us some medicine to give her in the hopes that it might help, or at least ease the pain. So, my dad and I are going to put our vet hats on and try to do the best we can for her. We're hoping and praying for the best.
