Rain and Wild Animals

This weekend is the first time in forever that it has actually rained. I guess maybe the rain has brought out all of the animals because while it was still dry, Amy and I went on our usual Sunday morning walk and I saw not one, not two, but three animals! My first encounter was with a turtle. We were walking along and I saw him sitting at the corner just sunning himself. Amy didn't see him but I did and I stopped and did some investigating. I went up and sniffed but he pulled his legs and head inside his shell. Then, later on in the walk we saw a bunch of geese hanging out at a pond. Amy let me off my leash and I charged after them and went splashing around in the water. It was so much fun! Then as we were heading home I saw a bunny rabbit. I tried chasing after it, but was not allowed to go off leash. Last year we used to see bunnies all the time, but there haven't been as many this year so when I spot one, I'm determined to stare it down.

Harry Potter!

So I'm sure that everyone has been swept up by Harry Potter mania. I remember a couple of years ago when Amy would spend every night curled up with one of the Harry Potter books. She read the first six books back to back. Well after seeing the Order of the Phoenix movie on Friday night, she came home last night with the 7th book....the Deathly Hallows!

Seeing as how I can't read and am not allowed in movie theaters and I'm not too great at watching TV, I'm not really sure who Harry Potter is or why he's so popular. What I do know is that the Deathly Hollows came with some glow in the dark Harry Potter-esqe glasses and of course, Amy felt the need to put them on me. I resisted at first but eventually I gave up.

I think I look rather scholarly, don't you? It looks like I'm contemplating things like, I hear that Harry Potter likes to fly around on a broomstick. How does he do that? The one in my house only ever sweeps up my hair.

Maybe these glasses have a spell on them, they're making me very sleepy.
