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!

that just made me want some frozen yogurt REAL bad!
wow. i cannot put into words how much i love this! ps its super great that you wrote conquering, not just like climbing. ha! can i have a picture with velocirapt? he's super stellar
it looks like you are experiencing velocirapture.
hahaaa... oh man.
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.
he needs to meet valerie -- my velociraptor! he def wants a girlfriend.
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!
