A Critter Christmas

Peanut and Daisy are so excited for tomorrow because they surely want to know what will inhabit their stockings! Of course, although we do exchange gifts on Christmas morning, I want you to keep in mind that we are really celebrating Jesus's birth which is much more important than gifts!
 

Here are some pictures:

Peanut's stocking. I found this adorable thing at a farmers market. Someone hand-knitted it themselves!

Daisy's stocking I decorated on her first Christmas--3 years ago!

Who could this tiny present be for?

My adorable calendar picture for this month!

Isn't this house perfect for a little hamster?

So cute!

Please Read Me! What is Your Pet Thankful For?

Thanksgiving is coming up, and it's time to celebrate! I hope you noticed all the new changes I put on the blog, including a cute fish-feeding gadget(on the bottom page--they'll follow your mouse and if you click on the water you will feed them!) and a different design and color scheme. I was hesitant to change the look of my blog because then it may not look "critter-y, or whatever that means. Also, just for today I will say a few things and then be done with it--no critter info today, guys!

I am thankful for:


food--Daisy

Running on my wheel--Peanut

Water;I'd die without it--Jaws(my fish)

My pets--me,(Nature Girl)




Now, you go ahead! Comment A.S.A.P every single day (one comment on one post per person) Then I'll post a special blog on Thanksgiving listing everything you and your pet is thankful for!





P.S: Please remember to ask your friends to tell you about what they are thankful for if you don't have a pet. Thank you!!

More Recent Questions and Updates

Daisy: Wow, I think I skipped a Question Tuesday or something.....

Peanut: I guess so. Anyway, what are the questions for this week, huh?

Daisy: Let me see now--ah, yes....the first person emailed Critter Corner asking how much do guinea pigs cost.

Peanut: Maybe they're putting the thought of getting one into consideration! Oh, but, isn't that like slavery?

Daisy: What do ya' mean?

Peanut: You know...I don't think people should buy animals. Buying living beings was banned by George Washington.

Daisy: I thought it was a different president. Abe Lincoln. Or was it Teddy Roosevelt? Whoever that is. Or maybe James Garfield. Was it a president at all? Oh man, I really need to touch up on my social studies skills.

Peanut: Whatever. The answer is this: around 10 dollars. The cage is the expensive part. Um, I was wondering, where exactly do you get these random questions??

Daisy: I get the questions from the people who ask them!!!! Where else would they come from????

Peanut: Well, you could make them up because nobody really does email us. I know it!

Daisy: THEY DO TOO!! I ask people to mail us all the time! To prove it, I have another question send by air-mail: AH-HEM.....(smooths out letter) ........ A person wonders what our favorite foods are.

Peanut: That's so easy-peasy! I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE carrots, cucumbers, apples, sunflower seeds......

Daisy: Uh....oh-kay, we get the message! My turn next! My favorite foods are yogurt drops, crackers, pumpkin seeds, popcorn...

Peanut: NOT processed food! Veggies and fruits, you know what I mean. That's obviously why you're so fat!

Daisy: I am not fat.

Peanut: YES YOU ARE!!

Daisy: (whispering) Please stop saying that--your embarrassing me on national TV!

Peanut: Ha! Well, good! (in a sing-song voice)YOU are fa-aht, ohhh, you arrrrre FAh-t....

Daisy: AM not!

Peanut: Then why did you say you eat processed foods.

Daisy: One, yogurt drops are NOT processed, and two, I am NOT  FAT!!!!!

Peanut: Whoa.

Peanut: Uh, that's all, for now on Critter Corner, and a note to all yogurt drop-eaters, don't eat too many like Daisy here, or you'll get F-A-T!

And here is a picture I put up of a healthy food to eat. YUM! And it won't make you fat!

Daisy: (weakly)I'm...not..f-a...ttt.......

Peanut: I didn't say anything.

Alright, folks!!  Here is the moment you've all been waiting for:  It's time for......Daisy and Peanut's Question Tuesdays!!!!!


Daisy: Hey Peanut, I got the first question: Somebody contacted Critter Corner because there were swans in their backyard. Why is that...?


Peanut: Hmmmm...(typing on the computer) Ah, yes, I see now. It says here that swans migrate in the winter. They stop often for breaks, unlike geese. This particular person who asked the question has a very wooded backyard, so that means wild animals will visit them often. That is actually a compliment from a swan!!

Daisy: Oh. Well, you learn something new every day. The next question is from a well-known resident at Critter Corner Headquarters.  She wants to know if snakes are critters.

Peanut: shiver- Please please please don't talk about s-s-snakes!! You know I am terrified of them.

Daisy:  Well, Julia likes snakes!!! You have to answer the question because that's what Question Tuesdays are about!! I mean, deal with it.

Peanut: okay, well,  not ex-ex-exactly b-b-b-because they don't crawl--they slither...

Daisy: Sheesh! That isn't a very good answer.....

Peanut: Just move on to the next question, please!!

Daisy: Oh, alright..... A rabbit friend of mine wanted to know how the weekly poll worked.

Peanut: Ooh-- I know!! The weekly poll is a poll that I get to change every week and you choose one of the suggestions. Today I get to change it so you'll see a new one.

Daisy: And did you know that the results of this weeks poll are...

Peanut: Well.....? What?

Daisy: Uh, you're supposed to say the results.

Peanut: Oh... OH!!! The results for the question " do you have a small pet?" are....  20% for YES!,
60% for NO, BUT I AM THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE, 20% for NO AND I WOULD NEVER EVER WANT ONE!, and 0% for WHAT'S A SMALL PET??

Just click on the answer you agree with, then click on vote.

Daisy:  Ahem, I have a question--this is the last one. I want to know who voted on NO AND I WOULD NEVER EVER WANT ONE! Maybe they would like to comment and answer that question for us.


Peanut: Was that you???

Daisy:  OF COURSE NOT!! Well, that's all for now on Critter Corner!!!!!!!

Peanut:  Hey! That was MY line!

What Are.....A Hamster's Cheek Pouches??
