GUINEA PIGS VS BUNNIES!!!!!!!

    Well......... Whats better? Rabbits of course!  

Why?  First of all, rabbits are much smarter and way more fun - they don't make messes everywhere....... And second, you can train them to come when their called and jump hurdles. Lots of people do that.


Guinea pigs aren't quite as fussy as some rabbits can be, and guinea pigs can be better for beginners. Rabbits come in all shapes and sizes, like the one in the photo is called a lop eared rabbit. Some guinea pigs can be very skittish, and some are very tame. Rabbits mostly enjoy being cuddled, where as guinea pigs just.... well.... don't really care.  

All pets have different personalities, which make them very fun. But if I could chose one of the two, its obvious I would chose a bunny.

Just a little story.....

Hello! my name is Squeakers. The story I'm about to tell you is about how me and my friends gave the poor family down the road the best Christmas present ever. We told them we had arranged their house to be in a TV show called 
Extreme House Makeover.   They didn't know what to say! When the camera crew arrived to start the show, it was my job to take the house owners Cindy and Bella to the movie theater, the mall, and many other entertaining places like that. While we were out, all the others on our street got prepared to get their paws dirty! When we got home, it was brilliant!!!


 Here is the front door.......... Nicely painted!


 


Here is them looking around their NEW kitchen! Before the makeover, they barley even had a kitchen! 
  And here is the lounge! There used to be a big hole in the wall and plaster all over the floor. As you can see, that has been taken care of!
 And here is the dining area! There used to be a table with three and a half legs and chairs that were too high up.

 And here is the master bedroom. There used to be termites all through the whole room!

 And here is the kids bedroom! Pretty cool, huh? This place was nothing compared to what it is now! And here is the bathroom! There used to be no toilet! So they had to keep hiring portaloos. 

  And when they came to the front porch.........











There was a surprise party in the backyard! So they partied and partied and partied until nightfall. "I don't know how we could ever thank you!" They say, "We are so grateful to have such great friends. I don't know what we'd do without you."












THE END.

Those special moments..........

These are some of the special moments of the holidays of Liquorice. There are some moments of life that are fun and exiting, like when you go horse riding, or when you go for a bike ride ALL on your own.



Or when you come home from the fun park with a giant teddy hamster in the back seat of your car.

enjoy those moments like when you go to the museum and see your friend drive past in her brand new blue car.

Honor those special moments like when you see your new baby brother for the first time, and when you have your friend over for a sleep over and you stay up until midnight jumping around and telling funny stories about when you were very little.

These are only some of the little moments Liquorice has photos of, if I could tell you all of these little mouse tales, I could fill a whole book. 


THE END.....................

Whats better? Cats or Dogs?

 Whats better? Cats or Dogs? Well, I actually think that dogs are better. Wanna know why? Well here are some of my answers............... 1. Dogs think of their owners as family. Cats? No way! They aren't as social as dogs at all. 2. Dogs just so happen to be waaaay smarter! Ever heard of Rolf the counting dog? Or what about White paw? 3. Cats have got extremely sharp claws, so that means that they always have to have a scratching post or they'll just rip all your furniture apart! 4. Dogs are more fun because they will actually welcome you back if you even go out for about half an hour they will be ready to smother you in kisses, and cats will just act like you never even left. 5. And lastly dogs will also enjoy a walk, and cats will actually just take themselves for a walk. Every breed is different, all people like different things, some like to stay at home, and some like to go for big long walks. So every dog is specially designed for different people.              


If you think the complete opposite, I would like to know what other people think about this, so please comment in the box below.

The adventures of Raspberry and Peaches!

It was a fine day to have a nap- but not for Raspberry. ''Im bored! This day is to nice to go to sleep! Who
 wants to go for a walk with me?" The others said nothing. Then Peaches chimed in, "I will go," she squeaked, "If that means we can go quickly past old squeaks house so she wont invite us over for the millionth time." "Ok," Raspberry replied, " But lets not be to long. C'mon! lets go!" So they both went up the tunnel, and out the door of the den. They both went in, and left the door open.
 Then they both slid down the string they had tied to the tunnel. "Lets take the car!" Squeaked Raspberry. "But I thought this was supposed to be a "walk" not a "drive"." "Oh well," squeaked Raspberry. "We'll take the car and then walk back. Remember, this is not a chance to make a mess." 



So they both climbed in between the wall and the shelf to the other side.

 "Come on! Get in the car!" Squeaked Raspberry.

As soon as Peaches had her tail in the car, Raspberry had her paw on the pedal. It was hard for two tiny things to control such a powerful thing. "No no! like this!" "Eeeek! nobody is steering!" And "Duck!" And "Look out for the elephants!" 

 Finally, they had made it out of that jumble of plastic animals. "Lets go back now." "OK." said Raspberry. So they did. Getting back was even harder,  because There were two huge plastic elephants completely blocking their path. 


"Eeeek!" Screamed Peaches. "No not yet,"

 "Now Eeeeek!"

But just as they were about to crash, Peaches had an idea. "Quick! jump out here!" "OK!" Said raspberry. So they jumped out just at the last second. Crash! To a mouse it was a huge explosion, but to a person it was just a little bump.

 They quickly ran back to the rope, and climbed up.

"I hope we didn't wake up old Squeak!' Whispered Raspberry. "Nope! She's still fast asleep." Whispered Peaches. With one final leap, they were back home. "Thats enough adventure for today!" Squeaked Raspberry.




                               THE END.

BENS BREAKFAST!


Yesterday morning our two dogs Ben and Lilly 
ran out of dog biscuits. So for school work me and (my older sister) Grace had to cook them some rice. So we did that, and we also made some doggy masterpieces! First we cooked the rice, then we put the rice into a dessert bowl, turned the bowl over onto a plate, then tada! A rice castle! Then we used some of last nights leftover dinner - chicken! Ben really enjoyed the fact that I put roast vegetable seasoning on the chicken! The photo above is the on I made for ben.

Ben really likes it! :D

When I was young

Hello! my name is squeak the mouse. My friends helped me take photos of what it was like when I was young. And this is it. When i was young, one of my favorite 
highlights was when my mum and my dad would kiss me goodnight and 
turn out the light. Then I would be alone. In my own special world, dreamland.

Another of the highlights was when my father would
drive us to night church. And sometimes if we left a bit earlier, dad would stop at
the daily sweet tooth to buy us some sugar mice to eat on the way there and 
to stop us from falling asleep.

Another thing I quite enjoyed was the loooong walk to 
school. Again, I would be in my own world, daydreaming most of the trip to school.

And the last highlight I can remember is every week day, (this was in the mornings)my dad would walk out the door and jump into the car, and just as he would be 
driving away, I would be watching from my bedroom window and I would hear him say "Bye honey" to my mother. How lovely.

On Saturday 2nd of march, we took our two goat kids Poppy and Danny to the Donavon park A and P show. I took Poppy, and my older sister Grace took Danny. We couldn't walk very far without stopping to let people pat them. We both got a second place tie, probably because there was only one other contestant. And that one other contestant just happend to be one of our friends!

JELLY BEANS!!!!!!!!!

Hello! My name is Buttons, and I am about to tell you the process of making jellybeans. Well, first at the factory a large kettle is filled with liquid sugar. It is heated to about 175 degrees Celsius. Glucose is added. And then starch. A large agitating device mixes this gooey mixture. Meanwhile, at another part of the factory starch spills out of a large drum into big trays. A leveler moves over them to level out the starch. As they move on, all the exes starch is brushed off to be recycled. 756 jelly bean impressions are moulded into each tray by a HUGE mechanical moulding board. Nozzles now squirt the jelly bean mixture into each starch tray moulds. The jelly bean centers (and the moulds) now move on to the drying room where they will stay for 24 hours. This makes them chewier. After they have dried arms flip the trays of jellybeans and starch in a drum that separates them. Then the trays flip back and get filled again to start the jelly bean process again.The jelly bean centers now separated from the starch, move across a wire conveyor belt. They then go into a steam room to dampen them. Then they get a nice sweet sugar coating. And then they get tossed around in a large sanding drum while nozzles squirt sugar at them. Elsewhere in the factory, liquid sugar flows into a large kettle. Food coloring is added and then mixed. This mixture along with some flavoring, is added to the jelly bean centers in a big turning drum. Then sugar is added. This process is done four times to the jelly bean centers to create a shell around the centers. The next day when the shell has hardened, hot syrup is added and then they are turned again. This polishes them. A little wax is added and then the drum stops spinning and the jellybeans air dry for 24 hours. Once they've  dried, they move in a multi colored mass along a series of conveyor belts. Then they fall into a scale system that  divides them into portions. A trap door opens and they fall into a packaging department. Once they're in the bag, their  on their on their way to sweeten up someones day. THE END! NOW SCRAM!                                                                                                                                                                                             I'm sorry, Buttons is still holding a grudge against me because i accidently  gave her lettuce instead of silverbeet, so now she's just plain grumpy.
