Egg

Egg

      My, other, neighbor, was out back, and discovered a large egg.  Since, dinosaurs (Rexy) have been sited, in this area.  She gave me a call, to identify the egg.  I couldn't tell what species it was.  So I took the egg home to care for it. 

     I looked up, how to hatch the egg.  I found a site, that said to put the egg in a pail of water and it should hatch within 48 to 72 hours.  I put the egg in a pail...and now we wait.

      I came across some, interesting, plastic cabs at a craft store.  They were perfect for a little Tatsmithing.

Too Quiet

Too Quiet

      You know, when it's a little, too quiet.  You know the kids are up to something, they shouldn't be.  

     Rexy wasn't in his, normal, play area...I found him under the kitchen table with something, red, dangling from his mouth.  We don't have any, other pets, and he hasn't been in the garage or outside.  Thankfully, NOT, in the garage.  We have been ice fishing, for the two days and there are fish guts in the trash can.     

     What he DID, have in his mouth, was one of my beaded necklaces.  Thankfully, I had gotten it out of his mouth, before he broke it.

Dino Whisperer

Dino Whisperer

     While my neighbor was heading to town, she had seen a hamster, hitch hiking, along the road.  It was snowing, so she pulled over, and offered him a ride to town.  She asked him, where he was going and he replied, "My name is Chatter and I'm looking for work."  She asked him, what kind of work and he said, he was a dinosaur whisperer.  She told, Chatter, about Rexy and brought him to see me.  I gave him room and board, in exchange for dinosaur sitting.  Chatter has the gift of calming Rexy's anxiety problems.

Lost

Lost

     I was tatting a pair of earrings and lost one of them, during travels.  I tatted another earring, to go with the other one.  A few days later, I opened the car door and the missing earring was on my seat....now it's a pendant for the earring/bracelet set.

Happy Birthday Mom,  Love you with ALL my heart.

Presents

Presents

     I caught a glimpse, of Rexy, running out, from under the tree.  He had something in his mouth.  He was crouched, in his hiding spot (next to the entertainment center).  He had wrapping paper in his mouth and bows, all over him.  I also found bits and pieces of a chocolate candy wrapper.  One of us, must have gotten chocolate for Christmas.

Squeaking

Squeaking

     I heard lots of squeaking from the other room. The mice tried to gang up on Rexy and take his ball from him. Here is what I saw. Thankfully, no fatalities. A few knocked out and some minor cuts and bruises. Hopefully, the mice learned their lesson. They will have to share the same bedroom, after Christmas.

Bony

Bony

     Rexy, is still very bony.  He's been feeding on pizza, cookies and candy.  I know, it's the holidays and it's everywhere.  Since he had been starved, for who knows how many days, he may remain bony for the rest of his life.  Good thing he has his pj's on to keep him warm.

Lights

      Rexy, is starting to come out of his shell.  He's been playing with his ball.  One time, it rolled under the Christmas tree.  Looks like he got tangled up in the lights.

The Adventures of Rexy

The Adventures of Rexy

     I have loved dinosaurs, for as long as I can remember.  I remember going to the Natural History Museum in Denver, Colorado and my dad had gotten me a few wax dinosaur figurines.  By the first grade, I could spell dog and cat as well as the various dinosaurs.  So when my neighbor brought, poor Rexy over, I was delighted.  

     She had found a baby tyrannosaurus, alone, naked, cold and starving.  His mother must have been hit by a semi, or attacked by grizzly bears or cougars.  Yes, this is the wild north west...we have grizzlies!!  My neighbor, took Rexy home and found him some clothes.  She also gave him a ball to play with, since he's still a baby.  

     She couldn't keep him because she has two big golden retrievers, Mike and Molly.  The two of them, would tear, poor Rexy apart.  She couldn't give him to the other neighbor because, Charlie would try to find it's squeaker.  Since, we are dogless, she thought I would be the perfect mommy.  Here he is....so bony.  Hopefully, I can put some meat on him.  He is very shy.

Poor thing had almost, starved to death....look how bony he is.

Love Pearl

Love Pearl

     My sister went to Hawaii and brought me back a Love Pearl.  There is a pearl in a muscle shell, which you have to open.  Each color has a different meaning.  I can't tell which color mine it.  I think it's a cream color but looks peachy in a certain light.

My sister gave me this one, for my birthday.  It was a lavender pearl.
