I'm a 31 year old girl (yes, girl, I refuse to ever grow up ;) )

I have aspergers, so please don't get mad if we misunderstand eachother, English is also my second language so I sometimes use expressions completely wrong ^^;

Got myself a Forever Upgrade almost from the start! Guess I'm optimistic, or rather pessimistic; I have no hope to be able to get away from this addiction ;)

I found this site cause I'm a huge fan of Hibbary. She posted some lovely art on Patreon and I decided it was time to check it out. I had a feeling I'd be hooked, and I was right ^^;
I'm an artist too, but nowhere near as good as Hibbary.
I am Toyger on DeviantArt as well =)

____________________

I have lots LOTS of pets! Just ask my local pet shop, they claim I have everything ;)
They are all rescues or unwanted pets

My current pets are these:
3 cats:
Eevee is 11, she is my baby. She only loves me, no other humans ^^;
I've had her all her life, she was born in my lap! <3
Her mother Ronja was a stray and I kept them both. Sadly she passed away in September 2016, 11 years old, from lung cancer :'(

Angelus is 2, I found him in my basement, extremely under weight and in horrible condition. After a failed search for previous owners I have now claimed him as mine =^_^=
He is HUGE yet super kind! Never ever bites and just super friendly with any human or animal! <3

Loke is one. He was captured in a feral colony at 7 months old, never touched by humans before. He took to me quickly, though still very skittish, so I took him with me to my room at night. For some reason he feels more secure here and lets me pet him while he purrs loudly, yet hiss in the living room still. He has become best friends with Angelus! They are so sweet together <3
He is slowly getting better though, sometimes he hisses but more and more now I'm allowed to touch him in any room of the house.

2 chinchillas:
Sasuke (2) and Itachi (3) came with a huge expensive cage, pet carrier and all the food and gear needed, but they only wanted a tiny fraction of their worth that wouldn't even cover a third if the cage alone! They had simply gotten bored of them. They are semi tame, Sasuke is the tamest.
(had 5 at one point. Have sold one (Totoro) and in process of selling to others (Pikachu and Raichu))

3 Gerbils:
Castiel and Crowley was sold with a brand new cage for half price of the cage. The boy who had them had gotten bored of them before even naming them ^^;
The cage was too small though so had to buy them a new used cage ;)

Later got a girl, Beggy, who had lost her cage mate. I got her for free with a huge cage and lots of gear! And the woman who came with her instantly suggested to swap them, putting my boys in the big cage and the lonely one in the smaller cage (that was nice of her, she could have demanded that her Beggy stay in her big cage)

1 Mouse
This one was worse of of mine... "2 cages and mice given away". Yeah, turned out to be a male and a baby... They lost the mum, didn't even know how long ago! And who knows how many babies had been killed or lost! We did all we could but baby Yuki didn't make it :(
We got very little info, so have no idea how old Akito is either... It is nearing a year since I got him, and they usually only live one year.

2 Dogs.
This is something I've been thinking about and wanted for ages! Tiny pooches! But I'm not a big fan of Chihuahua, they face is... I don't think they are cute. But I really only wanted tiny dogs. So I kept an eye out for it more actively for a while, even asked about a few that was put out (mainly how they do with cats, and got answer back that the dog bites...which should have been mentioned in the first place!)

Finally in January I fell in love! Absolutely fell for this cute little guy Conan, 2.2 kilos (so tiny!), and he was used to cats! Only problem; 6 years old... Don't care, I need him! He is actually 7 years old by now, so he isn't a young guy. He also needed surgery (testicle in abdomen), big work on teeth and vaccinations. And no house training, or training at all really. He understand "sit", but only do it when he feels like it. He has gotten better with his indoor marking after the castration and using belly wraps for months. And slightly better on commands, but very stubborn so might never get good at it. Also need to work on his dominant behavior on walks. He had a good period, but been worse again after the castration. I hope it passes so he can start meeting other dogs again.

Very early on I also noticed all to well that he was used to living with other dogs. I tried in vain to play with the cats, but they did not want to. So I tried to play with him myself, but he doesn't care about toys at all. So I decided to get a second dog for his sake. A puppy this time, as one problem child is enough ;)

I found a seller with Yorkie Chihuahua mix puppies, and they seemed to have no sign of the Chihuahua in their face, only the large ears! I fell in love again and practically told him I wouldn't leave without MY puppy! She was min, I knew she was mine, she belonged to me ;)
She is my baby, and absolutely perfect! SUPER tiny! I mean, teacup tiny! Conan is suddenly HUGE! And she is extremely friendly and gentle, only barks during play and wants to say hello to anything that moves! And in their face, she gets confused when dogs sniff her behind. She is about 1.2 kilos now, and seem to maybe become just under 2 kilos at most! She might just stop at 1.5, time will tell. She also got so fluffy! Got to see her sister again, she did not.
I named her Nala Marina. Marina is in honor of my grandfather, who wanted a daughter named so but never got one. And it is his money I used to buy the puppy, he passed just a few months before I got her and inherited a good amount of money (which is why I bought dogs to begin with). He loved dogs, so I know he would have loved them =^_^=

In Memorium:

Kitty:
Felix, my first cat. My best friend for 7 years.
Fixi, the kitty that was lost and found but not returned =(
Ronja, the stray that gave me Eevee, and ruled the house for 11 years
Murre, my big babby, captured at 4 weeks old as a wild cat. Most gentle soul. Suddenly died just before 8

Bunny:
Nusse, Minsten, Blacky: My first ever pets! Also had their parents Bruno and Trine, an older brother Snow Boy, and who knows how many babies ^^;

Mouse:
Baby Yuki, never got a chance to live.

Guinea Pigs:
Milorad, Growlite, Akakabuto: Co-owned with a friend at first, she loved them most so we decided they where hers. They all died suddenly, one by one, the vet couldn't figure out what was wrong =(

Rehomed:
John Snow the bunny. Wanted to try have a bunny again after all those years. We didn't bond so I ended up selling him to someone who would give him the attention he craved.
Totoro, Pikachu and Raichu the chinchillas. I simply had to reduce, 5 was too many (with all the other pets as well) Pikachu and Raichu is not yet sold, but hope to find them a home shortly.
