Ugh, this has been a really crappy year for pets dying. First the Hogrid the pig and then Milky Wave, and we've had a fox taking out our ducks and chickens one by one. Then yesterday, my husband was moving the car into the garage and our goose (Dr. D) dashed out to attack the car and hubby ran over him. Poor hubby just feels awful, but obviously it wasn't his fault. *sigh* I really loved that stupid evil goose.

On the bright side, we seem to have aquired a new pet. A couple of weeks ago one of the puppies at our store broke his leg. (Exact details are still sketchy, but it would seem that a volunteer dropped him by mistake.) So, after a visit to the vet $$$ and a splint, I brought him home to heal up. And, of course, there is NO WAY I can bring an animal home for any amount of time and then not keep him! The kids have been begging for a new dog ever since Harley died (two? Three? years ago) and they are thrilled to death with this little guy. Of course, they wanted something big, like a Great Dane or Golden Retriever, but this little PomXJapanese Chin will just have to do.

Naming him was really hard! I have no idea why, as usually I manage it right away, but we tried out a gazillion names and had a hard time finding one that everyone could agree on. Hubby liked Gizmo and no offense to any Gizmo owners out there, but MOST OVER USED NAME OUT THERE! (that along with Shadow, Bear and Toby) Harry liked Scruffy, but dude, the dog is fluffy, not scruffy and I will be a cold, dead corpse before I own a dog named fluffy. (unless he's a chinese hairless...) I really liked Loki, but the kids are too young to understand the appeal of bad guys. ;) I also liked Jarvis, but was vetoed on that one as well. We all liked Agent K. but it just ... didn't ... feel right. (I also tried Coulson, but nobody liked it either.) Eventually, we settled on Captain. Kind of an odd name, especially for something that weighs all of about three pounds, but it's cute and something I can live with. (plus it works for both Captain America AND Captain Kirk. Kill two fandom birds with one car stone.)

And now some Snarry! I'm getting my HP Snarry groove on, what with Lubricus coming up soon. Not to mention I have two other pics outstanding. One for Lubricus itself, and one for the HP Fanart fest! I also have another half finished Snarry and a Tony/Steve?(a cock, it could belong to anyone, really) that I need to finish. I"m also working on some HP car decals. Busy, Busy Busy.

Quincey and I went to see the Avengers again tonight. Man, that movie makes me want to be skinny. Well, skinny and ripped! Thank God, if I sit around long enough, eating M&M's the feeling goes away.

Okay, that Japanese ChinxPom is the most adorable thing ever. I say that a lot. I've also never really seen long-haired black and white dogs, except in pictures. The other day, I saw a huge dog that looked like a Pyrennes but was black and white, and I was so confounded.

Also, I gasped out loud when I read how Dr. D died :( :( Poor goose. But geez, geese aren't very smart, are they?

No, they're not very smart. He had quite the vendetta against wheelbarrows, but it had started to extend to cars as well. Normally, he'd kind of saunter up, and you'd see him, and wait until he got his druthers out and you could drive away, but this time he just sort of darted out. Hubby had no idea he'd even hit him until he got out of the garage.

Thank God he just got knocked around and not squished. that would have been even more traumatic for everyone involved. He didn't even look that beat up, but obviously was. I think he probably died of shock.

He was quite a character and will be missed around here. Our other two geese are much less dorky, and therefore less ... personable?

And yes, Captain is ridiculously cute. And I just recently found out that Great Pyrenese CAN be black and white! I had always thought they were just white but no, it would seem not.

Captain is absolutely adorable--it's like he's made of fluff, seriously. And his eyes! :)

And the Snarry is burning. I really love the loose tendril of hair on Snape's face, for some reason.

Thanks! Yes, if you shaved the dog down, there'd be nothing left!

I'm sorry to hear about the goose. Your husband shouldn't blame himself; he couldn't have prevented it.

Captain is adorable! And that is an awesome name. :-)

Beautiful, smoking hot art...but I would expect nothing less from you by now.

:D Thanks hon!

Yeah, I am SO glad it was hubby and not me, because the guilt would have killed me, even though I *know* it wouldn't have been my fault any more that it was hubby's fault. *shrug*

Oh, my, Captain is adorable! *squishsmishes* And the Snarry art makes me feel similarly but different, if ya know what I mean. Beautiful!

Avengers makes me wish for skinny ripped-ness too. (I'm happy that it's summer so that I can go sleeveless and have all the feels for my favorite character. :D )

ETA: Oh, I missed the part about your goose! Poor thing. I'm sorry.

Okay, I don't know what you mean there. Explain!

Captain is adorable in a way that makes me want to go all AWWWWW, and Snarry is adorable in a way that makes me go HOMINA. :D

..... You have a Pygmy puff. With a cast. ;)


I'm sorry to hear about the goose though. But that picture is amazing! Gah! Conflicting thoughts!

Ha! He IS a pygmy puff! With teeth.

Yes, the goose was a crappy thing, and the art is a sexy thing. DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT DEAD GEESE AND PORN .... CAN'T STOP!

I feel really bad for your hubby; I know he must feel awful. But Captain is so cute; he looks like he might be part Papillon?

Teh Snarry, well, omg, you're still the best there is, even though you're usually off cavorting somewhere else. ;)

I met the parents, so no Papillion, but I see why you thought that. He does have a similar face.

And thanks! <3 Yes, I'm a fandom whore. WHORE I TELL YOU!

oh god, that dog is adorable! he looks like he's very bright and energetic, and a little like he's planning on getting into trouble often. : )
YAY snarry! nom nom. and I love the idea of car decals!

Oh god, I'd forgotten what it's like to have a puppy underfoot. And how often they shit! :D

What kind of decals do you think I should make???

Your poor husband! There was just no way to avoid that accident. Sounds like evil goose Dr. D was quite the adventure-seeker.

LOL! "I will be a cold, dead corpse before I own a dog named fluffy." Exactly. Captain may be the most awesome commander ever. Do tell us if he barks. in. a. staccato. fashion. You simply must get him a Spock plushie toy. I wonder if he can manage an elegant face punch with his very fashionable cast?

Mmm ... looks like Harry's about to call Severus 'captain'. Fabulous hair, by the way.

Skinny and ripped, you say? *breaks out the M&Ms & a dumbbell ... aaand gives up*

Funny story: I have a plushie Kirk and Spock, which sit on my dresser. The other day Captain caught a glimpse of Spock and FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. Growling, barking and totally scared. :D So, being the lovely, understanding person that I am, I totes had to tease him with it. :D

I think he just knows that these dolls are anatomically correct, and was terrified of the giant GREEN wang in Spock's pants.! ;)

I'm sorry to hear about the demise of so many of your pets :( I hope the rest of them will stay safe!

Captain is completely adorable :)

Delicious :)

Oh, I would love to see that film again... but I'm afraid I have to wait for September.
