Introducing...

I want you all to meet my new friend.

His name is Velocirapt the Velociraptor.

He is loyal, charming, and of course - terrifically violent with a special tendency to conquer everything in sight.



Conquering our fridge


Conquering some foilage


Conquering our vacuum cleaner


Conquering the fax machine at my work


Conquering some drugs at my work (a muscle relaxant is obviously what he needs)


Conquering the frozen yogurt


Conquering my speakers


Conquering a mini pumpkin


Conquering Ian's shoes


Conquering my pretty babyface guitar


Conquering tangled hair - he can be a comb! Step 1


Step 2


Step 3


Step 4. Voila! Tangle-free


Conquering even a mighty MacBook


Conquering my heart.


I think you can all agree that he is the greatest thing.

We are best friends forever.

I'd like to close with a precious little haiku we wrote as a family. This is for you, Velocirapt!


Velociraptor
Biting, gnashing, destroying-
Conqueror of all

I would like to publicly take credit for both the name of the Velociraptor, and the middle line of that haiku, which at the time I wrote it, was supposed to be ironically melodramatic, rather than just melodramatic.

when he conquers the vacuum does your floor get cleaner? I might have to get one.

HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS??? i'm dying. you should send him on all of your friends vacations. you know, so he can see the post-jurassic world.

also, i just remembered that i have practically stolen your guitar books. i must get those to you!!!

Jen - that was probably the most terrific pun I've ever, EVER heard.

And everyone else, thank you for your love. PIctures with him (for now) are free.

And Britt, that is a WONDERFUL idea! He can be the world's first globe-trotting velociraptor!
