Big Paws & Little Claws

Hi there,

My name is Chloe, I recently turned 21, I am currently an undergraduate at Newcastle University, studying English Literature. I love it. I've always wanted to start a blog, but never knew what to write about... so I've decided to combine my two loves: writing and animals!


For as long as I can remember I have adored animals. Brought up with guinea pigs that lived for seven years + (true story!) and hamsters who escaped from their cages and of course the 'family dog', I am known in my family as the 'animal lover'. I guess that is why I feel so strongly about helping animals in need, particularly ones who need a home. In fact my mum has threatened to kick me out if I bring anymore poorly animals home... 


So who's who? 


Miffy - 6 year old female Bichon Frise
Ollie - 1 year old male Bichon Frise (the latest family member!)
Scrappy - 2 year old Abyssinian guinea pig 
Rocky - sadly his age is unknown as he was part of 9 appallingly neglected rescue guinea pigs (also Abyssinian)
Dora - 2 year old Russian tortoise 


Let me introduce you properly...
