Cicada invasion

Some things require fewer words, more pictures.

Spring = Homicidal Robins

Here I am, minding my own bussiness at my laptop, when a robin flies into our window. I just assume it was an accident, until it had slammed into our window about 5 times. Mom says the robin probably sees it’s reflection as an intruder, so it tries to ward it off.
To make this more amusing, the cat is now stalking the windows…

Bamboo Fun-Wacom

Since I got a new laptop and like to draw, I got a bamboo fun. It’s a rectangular pad (mine is silver) that comes with a pen. It just like drawing on paper, but for your computer. Here is an example of what it can do:

Hehe…It’s a happy Turtle. 8D

It can draw in color, and has a pressure sensitive pad. That means the harder you push down on the pen, the thicker the line is. It’s really fun and easy to draw with!

Jack, the new pup.

I’m baaaack!

Jack is our new addition to the family, a dog to be specific. He is very cute and playful. He is also a bit of a lap dog.

We recently found out that he isn’t house trained, chews everything he can get his jaws around, my cat just can’t seem to let it go. Jack recently ate a glass ornament off the tree…and some hershies chocolates…(o-o’)….He seemed to be all-right though.

Riding to Chattanooga was an adventure too. Both dogs in between me and my sister. Jack was sitting on me most the time, and Samantha was just dozing. Aside from that, the ride with 2 dogs went well.

Jack likes to play fetch (kinda) and tug-of-war. He disemboweled every chew toy in the house and scattered its fluff everywhere. (I found some in the upstairs bathroom….O-o’) He’s a fun dog, I hope the cat can forgive me soon…(It wasn’t exactly my decision to get Jack so I’m not sure why she’s mad at me….)
