Hooray! The toilet is working! YAY! Kudos to Jim who manhandled the porcelain throne into our bathtub and weilded his wire hanger to combat the clog! MY HERO!
Well, you've all heard about the people that live under this roof--so now I thought it time to introduce you to the 4 legged critters who reside here as well. Neither one of them was overly thrilled to be posed for this picture. Perhaps it was because they had to be next to Ryan? Anyway--Katy is our 4 year old bassett hound. She is really a good pet (except she's a dog)--mellow with the kiddies, only occasionally terrifying the neighbor's daughter. (Sorry T.) She doesn't bark too much and it could be said that her biggest faults would be that she likes to lick toes and has been known to eat a poopy diaper. (However, if you read yesterdays post, you'll already know that we don't have anyone living here wearing those! )HOORAY! Stanley, named after the character in HOLES, is our Bearded Dragon. He is nearly 3 years old and has been living in my kitchen for the last 2 1/2 years. He was only the size of a palm when we brought him home from the pet store but he has grown quite a lot. It's because of Stanley that we also have additional transient pets--live crickets and meal worms that we buy to feed him. It's pretty exciting actually at feeding time. The whole family gathers around the tank and it's like watching the Gladiator and the Lions! (Thankfully, the crickets NEVER get the best of Stan--he's tops at stalking them.) Interesting note--if Stanley is not hungry he is not tempted to eat them and in fact will even let them sit right on his nose without so much as a twitch. Perhaps there is a lesson here for me in self control?

you let crickets sit on your nose?
do the crickets exhort you to wish upon a star?
