I have joined a blog called The Pet Times With a girl called Jenna most of you don't know. Please have a look at it to see the latest updates on my and Jenna's pets :D
It was the first day of Autumn the other day and my hamsters have already started hibernating! Heres some photos of Dakota! (Skinny was sleeping, photos of her to come) 
And heres a list of hamsters' Christmas wishes :P 
Monsieur Balzac was seen twice since I last posted. Once near the compost one once eating his food. We all know now that our punishment from bringing other dogs here will be over soon.
Me and my mom were looking at a really cool wind up computer on the internet:
Its brilliant because if you buy one another one will be sent to kids in other countries that can't afford it :( :D
I as have updated my neopets userlookup graphics page! I know this isn't that important to most of you but click it anyway. I made them all by myself :D
I had to work out a really hard math question for my math homework. "A pyramid has a square base and all edges are 100 meters long.
What is its volume?"
We worked it out and the answer is 707105 meters long... I think... And I also found out how to solve cryptograms! Its super fun. There are 12 rules. You can read more about math on my teacher (who I've never met)'s Blog. He is brilliant at math.
Well thats all I have to say for now. I'll update in a couple of days :D

Animals, jobs and other stuff.
I was looking through some pictures on my computer and I decided to put some cute and funny pictures of the animals we have in our house just so you get an idea of what they look like if I write about them.
My hamsters in the bedroom hut thing. 
This is Potcha (A.K.A. Fatty) who sadly passed away when I was on holiday :( But she lived a happy life eating sleeping and running of her wheel :) Fatty was the first of the three hamsters to discover the bedroom hut thing. 
This is Dookie (A.K.A. Skinny) who was the first of all three hamsters to discover the wheel. She loves storing food in her cheeks and her favourite game that she played with fatty was storing as much food as possible in her cheeks and trying to move it back to the food bowl while Fatty tried to get all the food to their bedroom hut thing.
This is Dakota. She is the youngest of all three hamsters and was the first to climb the roof of the cage like Spiderman. She enjoys the pleasant squeaking of the giant red, yellow and green wheel at 2 am every day and often picks fights with Skinny if she doesn't have anything to chew on like a carrot. 
This is Thomson. (A.K.A Monsieur Balzac (Balzac is a French writer :P)) We didn't actually mean to get him. We were looking for a cat and someone gave him to us after we had already found a cat. The other cat moved with his real owners (we think). He looked just like Thompson but was gray instead of ginger. At the moment Thompson is trying to teach us a lesson for bring Iris's mother (Isis) to our house, and he is now not coming back for about another month or so. Be does this every time another dog comes over :S 
This is Iris. She is our newest dog. She will be a year old in a couple of weeks. She loves playing and loves attention. When we feed the dogs Iris goes to Gracie's bowl, takes a huge mouth-full of dog food and flings it across the room so she can eat it while Gracie eats her food. Iris enjoys barking at the statue of Mary and Jesus near the church, 
Protecting the house from everything(including us), biting her tail, running and licking herself then coming to lick my face while I sleep :/ (It's so horrible!).
This is Gracie. She has been living with us for about 8 - 9 years and is always counted as one of the family :D She enjoys taking walks in the woods, barking at other dogs, racing other dogs, jumping in ponds then jumping on our beds and lazing around. There are balls of her hair all around the house and they often look like tumbleweeds if there is a draft going through the house. (My mom often says our house is like a wind tunnel :P)
The jobs and stuff I've done over the last couple of days:
I spent the weekend in Paris :D
I cleaned my hamster cage.
I cleared out the closet under the stairs then painted it.
I (and my sister) beat many bosses in the video game I'm playing :P
I have and am going to help paint and decorate my sister's bedroom (my room is next).
I cleaned my room (many times).
I took the dogs for a walk (many times).
I did many layouts for other people:

The Circus
Yesterday I went to the circus with my mom to have a look at how the animals here in France were treated. We heard they treated the animals really badly and wanted to see for ourselves, so we could know what we were talking about if or when we repeated it to other people (We took our camera so I can show you some pictures and clips). Here's my review on the day:
The circus was as bad as I expected, especially with how they treated the lions. Throughout the whole show you could hear the lions and the tigers crying and moaning over the loud music playing in the circus tent. The ring master was whipping the lions (and other animals) while they preformed, and I felt really sad seeing the lions give each other a comforting nudge every time they passed each other. The ring master was pretending he as in charge of the lions (my mom gave the example of a owner saying sit after their dog sat) and towards the end of the lions' art of the show the lion who just had a newly born cub started getting really angry with the ring master. She looked like she wanted to rip his head off... But the part of that day that made everything ten times worse was that my dog cried while we re-watched the tape of the lions :
The other bad part of the day was how the crowd acted. As you probably guessed, the whole crowd was parents and grandparents with their kids but it was how the parents acted that made no sense. First of all they let their little children sit in the front row where they can't run away fast enough if anything unexpected happens (which did happen, more in a minute). Then it was the way they kept clapping and cheering and laughing as if they had never set foot outside their doorstep or seen anything remotely funny in their lives. Then it was how they let their children touch the horses and camels who would have probably bitten them or spat on them if it wasn't for the whip the ring master had. Then they didn't even move back when the Yak came into the ring with their huge horns that could have badly hurt any of the children if they had lowered their heads. And finally near the ending of the show, one of the medium sized yaks went crazy, and crashed into the metal railings that were used when the lions were preforming and a lady, about 10 meters away from the yak, didn't even pick up or move her baby to protect it, as if she stupidly thought nothing could harm her baby, and most of the rest of the crowed pretended nothing was happening at all.
The funniest part was when they had a five minute break where they sold flashing lights and let you take a picture with the newly born lion cub (the cub's mom was crying). A lady was walking past me and my mom and (it was one of those times when everyone's looking at someone) and her two year old child pushed the crêpe (pancake) she was holding. At first he yelled at the kid (which drew more attention to her) then she picks up the crêpe which was lying flat on the Car park floor, she put it back on her plate (without even looking to see whether anyone saw her) then she goes to sit down and starts feeding it to her little boy and herself. Those crêpes must of cost her a fortune for her to do that. Here's a short list of what she and her son ate that evening: Animal poo and pee, Hobo pee, cigarette ash, vomit, dust from the ring (it went everywhere), grime, dirt, gravel, etc. etc.
Here are some pictures of the camels that I find really sad:
