Pictures!


Some things can be taught, but true mastery of a skill also requires innate talent. Napping artistry runs in the family around here.


Anywhere, anytime.


Pretty much anything works as a pillow.


This is Frankie. Short for Frank Sinatra, thanks to her blue eyes, black suit, white tie and (out of frame) white shoes.


One of my customers spends as much time as I do playing with models, only his are trains.


This is the beginning of a new layout. He showed me some pictures of previous layouts and they were just awesome.


They call me "One Eyed Rook".


One Eyed Rook thinks I should clean my windows.


As promised, one of Spencerville's tree frogs.


Only, this is a Cross-Box Frog, 'cuz he's nowhere near a tree.


He had a cool, bright yellow belly, but moved too fast to get pictures of that.


This little fella thought that my customer's vegetable garden made a great buffet. He has since been relocated to a more rustic locale.


Puppies!


I don't know their names, but between the two of them, I had my hand turned into a teething ring and got at least two involuntary french kisses.

Hey, Bishop and Rook had a great teacher. What can I say....

I love seeing all of your "on-the-job" photos.

So, how were those french kisses....?

Let's just say that they were impossible to resist.

I love all the critters (well, the tree frog looks kinda slimey, but whatever). I've got 2 words for you that are invaluable for job continuation: tetanus shot! ;o)

Oh, and Rook in the window? Hilarious!

Yeah, I meet all kinds of fauna during the average week. Not all are cute and cuddly, but sometimes I get lucky and there are puppies or kitties.

And tree frogs aren't slimy at all! They're quite dry skinned, actually. They're shiny, but not slimy. I hope to see (and photograph) one of the ones with the cool orange feet again before the winter sets in.
