My dream pet would have to be an otter. They are so fucking cute and squeak when they are happy. I’ve always wanted to feed an otter it’s one of my few life goals to do.
Another dream pet would be a dragon, but that’s because I could fly on their backs and dragons are kick ass.
Tattoo update.
I recently got my leg cover up started, and as you can see, its an otter. One I thought it would look great and two, I FUCKING LOVE OTTERS.
The piece was done by Kelly. They were the person who did my pin up on my arm. Honestly I love their artwork and you should try and contact them for animals or pin up pieces. The cover up will be a continuing piece that will include a jelly fish and an ant.
That’s it so far on my latest tattoo pieces.
Today is 100 things to do before I die. I don’t think I’m going to make it to 100 so this will be a fail but let’s see how I get on
That’s all I can think of. This post is a fail but I did give it a good go.
On Good Friday Kai and I decided to go to Brighton sea life centre. Now for starters I will tell you this. If you are grabbing the train with someone else, at most train stations you can get a 2 for 1 booklet on places to visit in Brighton. Grab that shit, because its going to save you a few quid. Fill out the back pull out vouchers and appreciate the fact you are going in half price.
We paid £4 each extra so we could go round the backstage tour. There is a boat ride you can go on but we decided against it.
So what can I tell you about the place? Well its got fish. And lots of them. Ok for real though, its pretty big. You have the main areas and you go round to eventually getting to the underwater glass tunnel that has both sharks and the oldest turtles in captivity. For quiz knowledge they are 78.
The backstage tour is awesome, we had a wonderful person who did it. I got to touch Paraná teeth as well as sharks skin. The only downside of the backstage tour was that I couldn’t focus, because the certain person who did the tour was also someone I’ve met at a club with Kai before, drunk, and we spent the whole time trying to work out if we had seen them naked.
So what about the rest of it? Honestly I enjoy going there, but on the easter holidays I get really stressed out about how busy it gets and how loud people are, so I didn’t enjoy it as much. Saying that, honestly the place is fucking beautiful and I recommend people to go and visit it. The building itself is really pretty inside, you get to touch some starfish and a crab and the amount of sea creatures and rainforest animals that are there, is amazing. The animals are really well looked after and some of these animals are on the critical watch list, so I urge people to see them.
Thank you for reading this. Have you been to a sea life center ? How did you find it? Have some stories, please share in the comments. All images and more are on my instagram, feel free to follow me at @tylercharlesausten

Its been a wonderful 2 weeks being at my mums and seeing the family, as well as the wonderful animals we have been blessed with. With this, I have decided to do a post on what’s happened the past two weeks.
I was first introduced to the new edition to the house, Russell. He is a crow and a mouthy little fucker. He’s so adorable though, and is still growing because he’s a baby. We have him because he has a deformed foot and he wouldn’t have survived in the wild, because he struggles to use it sometimes.
I then took some photos of some of the animals, which you can view here
I then took the time to finally get round to making greeting cards, which look quite good actually. I think I have frustrated my mum by me taking over her table, and replacing all her stuff with all my crafting materials. If you want to check them out, they are here
It was also my mums birthday during this time, as well as my brothers and so I took my mum to see Legend which was amazing, and ordered a curry, which was so good.
I also spent time relaxing with the family, and they are telling me about how they are trying to set up something utterly wonderful with the owls. You will have to watch this space because its still quite quiet, but “Bobs Buddies” will be an amazing project and I hope that it goes really well. All I know is that when I’m getting back, I’m making lots of badges with Bob on them, and giving them to the family. So watch out for an update.
As well as this, I got my blogging award, won two tickets to Traumfrau for the 30th October (expect a review) and managed to clear a little bit of the shit that was going on in my head.
So yeah, that was my two weeks at Scotland with the family. I hate leaving but I know that it won’t be long till I’m back up again to see them.
Till next time
Xx

Well its been a pretty eventful week this week, if you have kept up with my posts, but if not have no fear, I will catch you up now with my 10 things I’m thankful for.
1. Blogging awards. Eeeeeep I got one this week and I’m so thankful to the wonderful person who nominated me for it. I really appreciate it.
2. Being with the family. Honestly I have needed the fucking space to sit and chill without massive drama, and I am seriously thankful for that.
3. Craft equipment. I shall post up some of my greetings cards I have made the past couple of weeks. I have found making them quite therapeutic.
4. Scotland. Its actually pretty amazing and there are some fantastic views almost everywhere you go.
5. My friends. I love them all so much, and they have been amazing to me the past few weeks.
6. Animals. Again, its been wonderful to spend time getting cuddles from the dog, playing with the owls and seeing the horses.
7. The people who have been Sharing, commenting and liking my posts. Thank you for doing that, I appreciate all the support.
8. My beautiful wonderful partners. They are just amazing ❤
9. Having a phone with a camera. I get to take pictures, where ever I am. And I think that's pretty awesome.
10. Blog links. Because I get to see lots of other wonderful blogs

So I’ve been at my mums for a week and I can safely say there are a lot of animals there. If you haven’t seen some of my posts before (or if I haven’t mentioned), there is one dog, one crow, two owls and 5 horses. I thought now would be a good time to post pictures.
The first three photos are of Jonny and Cheese. They are totally adorable, and were nosy as to why I was trying to take photos of them. The other 3 were out playing at the time.
Pepe le Cat. OK , Pepe isn’t even mums cat. He just lives outside mums house, and we feed him. He has been living outside there for 10 years, and we do not know how old he is. I named him pepe because when we first saw him, he looked like Pepe le Peu , from the old cartoons. He’s pretty much a wild cat, but sometimes he will come over for fuss and head rubs.
To quote her full name – Mrs Candy Pants Poopy Doos. She’s a huge cuddly puppy sometimes. She loves playing with toys and jumping on you for cuddles. She’s also a huge furry lazy creature. For a border collie, she is also scared of almost anything. Sticky tape, balloons, the hoover, anything. I love her so much though.
Finally in my selection of photos, I’ve chosen Gizmo, the snowy owl. He’s still a baby and going through his first proper molt at the moment, but he is just so sweet. He is also really heavy too for a bird, and quite big. He loves my brother loads (brother in first picture) and always gas a startled look on his face. He also has HUGE hairy feet too.
So now I’ve shown you my photos, show me yours :p . What makes you want to go put and grab a camera, do you have any unusual pets you want to talk about. Why don’t you send me a message on here, or post a link.

This fortnight I’m up at my mums and my blogging will be possibly sporadic and infrequent. However I’m going to try and fit in the 10 things I’m thankful for this week. Remember, the best way to move forward, is to appreciate what has already happened. So without any more hesitation, I shall start
1) Music. Its an amazing way to escape from a shitty situation without going too far. There are millions of styles and artists out there and they all tell different stories.
2) Facebook groups. Without some of these groups I wouldn’t have seen a lot of content I adore , as well as finding some new viewers to my blog. Hello new followers.
3) P0j0. I think this is the second time you have made it into my top ten, but I couldn’t not put you in it after the whole roast dinner / roasting fiasco. Thank you for making me properly laugh for the first time in a few weeks. For the record , roast dinners are bae.
4) Alfredo. Thank you for proving that roasted foods are utterly amazing, by sending pictures of food porn. Also your majestic beard makes me happy every time I see it dude.
5) Mumma. Aka – The birthing Ship. You pushed out three kids and all of them are fucking insane. Statistically that is some pretty good odds, but you haven’t had it easy with us all. Thank you for being there for us, and the animals we have acuminated over the years.
6) Kai and Steph. Yet again they have been amazing rocks in my life. I know that things are shitty for both of them right now, but I love them both so dearly.
7) My phone. Again, this helps me communicate with the outside world so much easier. And I can do my blog posts with ease.
8) Comedy shows. I have needed a laugh recently and they have helped some what. Thank you comedy writers for not making me feel sad.
9) Friends. Again, thank you to everyone that has been so supportive recently. I know I’m not the greatest person to put up with at times, and I can be frustrating, and I’m sorry for that.
10) Animals. They are probably the best things to be around when you are sad. Be it, feathery, furry or scaly. I love them.

Cats. They are dicks.
As a cat owner I can tell you that they are dicks. In nearly 9 years I haven’t owned a soft furnishing or a table without it being clawed up. I have been woken up at 5 am because a little furry fucker wants food. And if you want things like books on shelves or little ornaments you can forget it.
But I honestly wouldn’t have it any way and let me tell you why the two furry bastards that run my life, have also been the greatest thing to me.
For starters they are cats. Fucking look at them. Look at the tiny little bean toes they have and the cute ears that stick up.
Both Bebo and Teto may look similar but they are not. For starters Teto is smaller and has medium fluffy hair, whilst Bebo is a bit more chunky and has short hair. As well as those differences Teto’s tail is like a feather duster. It picks up dust and crap. Honestly he rolls in it 80% of the time but I’m so thankful he loves (LOVES) being brushed. He also has extra long fur that grows in between his little bean toes.
Bebo on the other hand, has this snake like tail and is mainly black all over, apart from he’s now getting grey hair, especially round his neck. He also has bald nipples. Bebo has also made it on the Instagram menlovepussies with Kai. I think that was a proud moment for him, bit I can’t quite tell because he always seems like he’s grumpy.
Now he may have a face that says he wants to kill every mother fucker in the room. But I have never met something so cuddly. Regardless whether you want fuss or not, your always going to get it with him right now. Just to clarify I am talking about Bebo and not the human.
Now whilst Teto is your standard house cat that doubles up as a feather duster and Meow’s a god awful lot. He is also a serious diva and the attention must be on him or he will be disobedient. Many things have been destroyed with his hissy fits.
Bebo is a whole kettle of fish. When I first got him, he had a few psychological problems. Now anyone who tells you that an animal doesn’t have mental health issues is wrong. Bebo has a few issues, mainly interaction. He cannot stand human interaction with people he doesn’t like. Now that’s a normal trait, I hear you cry. Well yes and no. The problem with Bebo is that he is a self harmer. He rips his fur out if he isn’t feeling OK. He also is quite violent and will scratch and bite you if he is not in the right head space. It has taken YEARS to get him the way he is now.
Before Teto, I had another cat called Charlie, and he passed away when Bebo was little. He grieved for Charlie like a human would, and this was when we found out about his issues. He became one of those nightmare cats you see on TV. Now most people would give up hope. They would see their cat rip out their own fur, scream and cry, and attack people, and think “Fuck it, we are going to have to put him down”. No, I could never have done that and here is why.
Bebo was me in cat form. This black, annoying, disruptive nightmare was me. I wanted to work with him because I knew I could at least try and make his life more comfortable.
The day we got Teto, he totally changed. He stopped pulling out his fur. It took him a few days before he got used to his you get companion, but they have been inseparable.
Soon after we got Teto, we realised that Bebo had another problem. His back legs started to get stiff. And we noticed that jumping for him was quite hard. We have worked with him, and he is coping fantastically. Occasionally he surprises us by jumping up on top of the book shelf. We know as he is getting older, it will start affecting him more and we are prepared for that.
At that point in Bebo’s life, we realised that Teto wasn’t growing any taller. After he reached his 2nd birthday, we realised that he was still the same height as he was when he was 6 months. This has not affected Teto in the slightest. He’s short. He has stumpy legs and a long body. What he makes up for in height he gains in volume. You can hear him where ever he is. He will talk to you ALL THE TIME. On the toilet, having sex, on the phone. He needs to talk to you. You never get a moments peace with him unless he is sleeping.
Talking of peace, have you ever had a bath with a cat trying to jump in it? That’s Teto. Sometimes you have to run him his own bath (in the sink) otherwise he will jump in and start cleaning himself. This is when I found out that not all cats hate water.
Now, I probably haven’t sold you on cats. I haven’t even told you about how bad cat farts are. But I want to tell you why I have written a post about them.
You see they are my babies. They are the things that get me up in the morning. During the day, if I’m sad, I will get a cuddle from one of them. If no one is at home. I have something to talk to, and the great thing is that they don’t answer back at me. Saying that Teto probably is calling me every rude name under the sun half of the time.
My point is, is that no matter how much work I have needed to put in, I have been given it back plus more. As a cat owner I know what its like to tread on hair balls on the way to the toilet, or seeing the half chewed giant moth on the table. But i wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the greatest thing that have been in my life, and I am so happy to have them.
