If someone ever says they know themselves, truly and wholly, I would not believe them. I learn new things about myself everyday. Some things I think I have known for a while, but I have never truly realized their depth. I have never realized that animals are a legitimate addiction, even though I have known it for years.

     Hi guys, I am so sorry for not writing in forever. I could apologize for paragraphs upon paragraphs, but that is boring ;). So, here are some things that have been going on lately! Bareback, of course :) I am going to ride Chessie with my friend, Anna, in a few days, and it will be a tackless (no bridle or saddle!) ride! \ Making rat hammock sets ( this one is for sale ) Making more rat hammocks. Making wreaths and garlands :) I also got a new rat cage, but don't really have any pictures of that yet... I will soon.                                                      Making youtube videos! So, I will be writing a proper post soon, but for now, I would say this is pretty good! Love you guys! -Amelia :)
