Hermione, Draco and Sirius

Evening citizens of Middle Earth.
Gi Suilon!

So first of all I apologise for my absence, blogger decided to crash on me so... Anyway here's the post I was meant to have uploaded the day after my Birthday on the 5th of February. Enjoy :)

So it was my Birthday yesterday and I'd like to share with you our new addition to the family. This is Sirius (Siri for short), so named after the character Sirius Black in Harry Potter for reasons that will soon be revealed. First of all I'd like to take you through all my previous pets.

My parents already had a three year old border collie puppy called Bryn when they had me. He wasn't so good with people he didn't know who tried to stroke him so many of my early memories are of him biting me. That may seem horrific to some people but I loved him all the same, then after I turned 8 he suddenly started to trust me and the biting stopped. We grew really close and when the day came where he had to go from my life I sat by him for hours as a way of goodbye. That was 3 years and 4 days ago now and even though I still miss him and will continue to do so I am no
longer upset over his death.

When I still had Brynnie, I also got two Goldfish called Summer and Goldie. They didn't last that long, maybe two years, but they were still my first pets that were completely my own however I was a terrible owner. I don't remember ever once cleaning the tank and I rarely fed them myself, often begging my Dad to do it for me so after their death, as you can imagine, it was hard for me to persuade my parents to get me another pet.

Eventually they let me get a hamster for my 9th Birthday, which I called Hermione after a character in my favourite book series at the time (Harry Potter). She was a villain of a pet, even going as far as escaping for 13 days over the Christmas period only to turn up one night scurrying along my bedroom floor. On top of that she disappeared behind the bath when I followed her meaning we had to unscrew a bath panel to get her out. Hermie lived for 2 years and then we had a break from hamsters until the following October.

That's when we acquired Draco. So named after Draco Malfoy because he looked like the ferret in Goblet of fire. He was a small, white haired ball of fluff and I he was the most adorable little thing ever. Draco outlived Hermione by around half a year and was my company when I lost Bryn. When Draco passed away it was the first time in my life without a pet which lasted a year until last Sunday when I got Siri for my Birthday.

Keeping with the theme I sired my new hamster after a Harry Potter character and so my throwback has brought me right up to now. I hope you enjoyed this semi-nerd (It was related to Harry Potter) insight to my life.

That's all until I next post so...

Tenna enta lúmë - May we meet again!
