12 Days of Anime 2019 – Ty Gets a Pet

2019 has been full of exciting developments, many of which I mentioned during another 12 Days of Anime post. Among these exciting developments is the adoption of my husband and I’s very first pet, Fuzz the cat. Fuzz is an extremely vocal, 17 pound Norwegian Forest Cat.

It was the first time that I had blogged this way since 2012 (feel free to check out my posts on Shin Sekai Yori, if you’re interested. Fantastic show), and, while I think my rustiness definitely showed in places, I still had so much fun with it all! Below are some of the things that I took away from the 25-week-long experience…
