I suck.

Whoops. I have no more excuses. I just can't freaking remember about this blog, not that it isn't important to me. It totally is.



   Today was a half-day at school, because Wednesdays always are. I've been waiting for nearly a month to go to the barn but my trainer's been on vacation, and finally today arrived which was my day to go, but then my trainer's husband had to get his appendix out, and he's not doing too well, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to go on Friday. By the way, Friday is my friend's birthday party, but I'm desperate to get on a large mammal.
   Clara and I's assistant teacher is a total geek. He has a fake mohawk and is utterly obsessed with Star Wars, and he's completely freaking out for the 18th, which is when The Force Awakens comes out. (I bet you can guess how I know that...) He does dress like he's a lazier version of a Star Wars character himself, and he doesn't really always realize it. He wears long robes with hoodies sewn on and grey scarves, Moog t-shirts and baggy Goodwill jeans. He knows a lot about almost everything, and he's super funny, you just have to meet him.
   So today the assistant teacher and my main teacher were talking about who they would sacrifice up to the Mayan gods. They were like, "it can't be someone we just want to get rid of, it's an honor to be sacrificed, and the gods want to be pleased. It has to be a good student." And other things they do, like having dance-offs and when we don't do something on time our assistant teacher will make two of the boys sing a heartfelt love song to each other. We're hippies. It's how we roll.
   A little while ago I ordered a Kindle Fire Tablet, because my very old one broke awhile ago. It was on sale for only $50, so why not? I'm super excited for it to come, but it'll come on like the 27th or so because it wasn't stocked. I love amazon. G'night.

I remembered!

Hello to you!

   As the title explains I am not a complete failure to the blog world. Today consisted of noise, noise, and noise, but at least my birthday's tomorrow! :D There isn't much to say about today, but I'll try to explain some parts.

   Today as usual I got up, went to school, blah-de-deh-oh-blah blah blah and y'know, came home. That's all I can say. Everything else isn't that interesting. On Wednesdays, we have half days at school, so right after school tomorrow I get to go out to the barn and bring cupcakes to my trainer and peppermints to the ponies. Yay! The cupcakes are the same ones I make every year, and because I was born 10 days from Halloween, they're very festive. They're little mummies, the frosting is white and the bandages are made from big strips of frosting from the frosting tube, and then we stick little eyeballs (peepers) to it. Quite traditional to my family for my birthday.


   G'day,

MMMMMMMARINNNNNNN

Heyo guys,

It's Marin....

So apparently trying to post more isn't working out. I think one of the reasons is because Clara and I have run out of things to post about rats. (The small amounts of audience remaining on this blog is a very quite crowd, either that or there is none, so we've given up on asking for suggestions.) So what I was thinking that we could expand the posts on things other than rats.

I'm going to now put posting on this blog part of the daily routine after school, so now it will go like this:

1. Get a snack
2. Camp out on LDShadowLady's Youtube channel
3. Watch random Youtube videos
4. Play Minecraft
5. Blog
6. Play Sims 4
7. Go to horse back riding
8. Camp out some more
9. Exercise Lilac
10. Do homework
11. Check to see how many views are on the latest post already
12. Edit post
13. Stalk favorite Youtubers
14. Eat dinner
15. Play Minecraft again
16. Play Sims 4 again
17. Exercise guinea pig
18. Exercise puppy
19. Go on a run
20. Dessert
21. Cuddle with dog
22. Edit post more
23. Read
24. Get a night snack
25. Brush teeth and go to bed


So I have a pretty packed day but I managed to fit it in. Hopefully I will remember now.

More Updates

Hey guys,

   We've been very unactive, thus this is a very unsuccessful blog. But basically I'm just going to go over some minor updates. We're running out of ideas for the blog so please suggest some.

    Lilac is a very happy ratty, and cheerful as always. I have recently gotten a 10 1/2 week old-11 week old Red Heeler puppy. His name is Milo and he has a beautiful coat with gorgeous colors, if I do say so myself. He's around 9 pounds.

    We got him from the local Humane Society. He's adorable and his ears hang perfectly over his head. He's a goofball and he enjoys Jungle-Miloing. He runs through the ivies and flowers and likes to hop through the taller sorts of grasses.

     He loves to cuddle. He's really fast, being a cattle dog, but his legs are stubby and he's super tiny. He's unsuccessfully trying to make friends with older brother. He looks dapper in his green color with squirrels.

      So anyways, I've been caught up in Horse Back Riding, and I've been really excited about my new stuff. If anyone out there is a boot sock hoarder, I am too. Also, new Half Chaps smell great. ;-)


                 G'day maties,

Oopsies

  Alright, so I just realized I remember the password to get into this account. I admit, I had forgot the password, thus making me absent on this blog. I'm officially out for the summer, so I'll post more often.

 Updates:

Lilac is doing great, and she's chirpy and a very happy ratty. She's getting pretty old, though, and I wish she had a human's lifespan... I love my chunky big-boned monkey. 

I'm posting more soon, and stuff that you actually want to read for your rats' or rat's sake,

Homemade Peanut Rat Treats!

Okay, I know neither me, nor Marin have done a post in a while, and we're sorry. Schoolwork and other things are taking up a lot of time and we have less time to write.

Mini Peanut butter treats!

Materials:

Peanut Butter

Almond Milk (unsweetened) 

Piping Bag

Star tip (optional)

Ground up almond (optional)

Freezer

Wax Paper

Directions:

In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, and almond milk. I did not give a specific amount, because it really varies on how much you need to make and your preferred consistency. When you have added the proper amount of almond milk, the peanut butter should be the texture of thick pudding. If you would like, you could add some crushed up almond into the bowl, your rats will love you either way.

        After you have thoroughly mixed the ingredients, scoop the peanut butter\ almond milk into a pastry bag. If you are like me, and you need everything to look cute, use a pretty star tip with the pastry bag. Lay out a sheet of wax paper and using the piping bag, make little drops of the mixture about a quarter of an inch apart. Note that the treats should not be made too big, because rats can only have so much peanut butter.

 After you are done, put the wax paper in the freezer and let the treats freeze overnight. When the treats are frozen, serve one or two to your rats. Make sure to leave the treats in the freezer if not being consumed by your rat. Do not give the rats a treat if it is slightly melty, only serve if frozen.

I hope you (and your rats) enjoy this recipe!

XOXO *Clara*

Walnut and corn crumble for the rats :-)

Hey guys!
So I've been playing around lately, and I've come up with a recipie that I suppose could be a rat sized walnut and corn pie.
This recipie is favored among my rats. I hope your rat love it as well.:-)
By the way, the crumbles have a crumbly texture, do not expect a perfect crumble xd
This recipie makes two small pie crumbles.

Ingredients


1/2 cup of crushed plain cheerios  (Finley crushed)

2 TBS of water

Tin foil

40 kernels of crushed dried corn (roughly crushed)

1/4 cup (for pie plate mould)

A little more than 1 TBS of chopped walnuts

2 1/2   tsp of grape juice

1 TBS of water

For the crust:

In a small bowl, combine the crushed cheerios, with
The 2 TBS of water mix well, the mixture should be a moist spongey
Texture.
               Take the 1/4 cup and tinfoil. Make a thick square with the tinfoil, and
Set it evenly on top of the 1/4 cup and press down. Firmly press the edges into the cup, until the tinfoil resembles the shape of the cup. Do this twice.
Scoop  the crust into the tins and push it in to the bottom and sides.

For the filling
Take walnuts and grape juice then crunch together, add some water and a few extra  ground Cheerios to the mix. Scoop into the pie plates.
Cook for 12-14 minutes at 350 ˚
Remember people this food is for rats, not humans they don't expect it to look beautiful. So you shouldn't either.
Cut up in to tiny ( and I mean tiny) pieces, serve to your rats (I suggest one small slice per day) make sure you let the pie cool before serving.
