SNAKES!!!!

This is my future pet. (And the guy there was talking to my mom and probably for my 12 b-day I'll get a ball python):) We went to the pet store today and they had Reptile Day!!!! I LOVE SNAKES!! The people were shocked when my mom said yea she is crazy over snakes. They thought I would just pet one or so. But they were wrong. We were there for like an hour. I was holding this one Boa Constrictor for 30-15 minutes. I was in love with it. And it was only 4 ft.

A Best Friend...

These are the oh so many pictures of a family member who has passed away. It has left a giant hole in this family. She wasn't just a pet or a dog she was part of the family. As my parents called us over in the tone of her voice I knew something wasn't right. She said Sassy would be put to sleep the following day. Oh how I cried that night. I always know though it was for her benefit not ours. She was in pain and could barely walk. She felt young but her hips were far from young. I miss the call of my dad saying "Sassy come on lets go outside" And the clacking of her feet on the kitchen floor. I remember when Nicole left every night she would curl up on the floor and I would always here her grunt. Or a sigh. Whenever I see a big figure at night and get out of my bed and say "Sassy's back!" to myself. She is not there. I can't remember her as much as Nicole or my parents because she is 3 yrs older than me. She was 14. I miss feeding her and saying " Sassy come and get your food" Our family has so many memories of her. I miss her guarding me in my bed at a sleepover. And always giving her a bowl of water so she didn't have to drink toilet water in the basement. Slowly her gave out. And she used to climb down the steps fine no help. Than everyday she couldn't climb a step and soon it became 2 and 3 and so on. I love her and always will and want her to know Our family will remember you.

Starlab

This big blowup bubble is called Starlab. Starlab is where it is completly dark and this big cilinder like thing is on a light and has patterns of stars. We were told about a lot of the stories of the stars and they got their name. My favorite is when Back in the old times crows were a nice silver and had beautiful singing voices. One day a crow was sent on a mission to retrive water for the king. But he saw some figs and waited a few days for them to ripen. Day after day the king got impatient and finally the crow came back but no water just figs so for his punishment the crow was turned into a dark black and had no singing voice but a squak. This is just a funny little story .
