Pictures

First, an explanation. [livejournal.com profile] aunt_tudi is 61 and hurtling headlong into her second childhood. She's become enamoured with bubbles because Johnna's kids are into bubbles, and Aunt Tudi digs having bubble parties with them. I don't attend for obvious reasons... So, while we were in Asheville last week, I got her a bubble machine at Morrisons. It's battery-powered and blows bubbles like nobody's business.

Last night, Aunt Tudi wanted to see what the bubbles looked like in the dark, so she took the machine out on the front porch. Hours later, around 2 AM, I stepped outside to see if we'd gotten any snow and saw something terrifying on the ground. I was certain we had some sort of bizarre fungus in our yard or perhaps the aliens had deposited pods of some sort.

No.

They were frozen bubbles. After shitting myself with fright, I took some pictures. And then I fought the urge to beat Aunt Tudi with a shovel for scaring me to death. .....and then I went back to bed and watched The Silence of the Lambs.






This picture is mainly for [livejournal.com profile] trelina. It's a pic of Henry (the blue tick Beagle) and Daisy in their beloved Kibbles & Bits box. They had plush beds, but they preferred this cardboard box. Beagles are so down to earth!





And here's one of Chester from a day or so ago. He looks so cute here to be such an asshole.





And so it goes.

Heeeeee! Thankies!

I had no idea bubbles could freeze. That's cool! That pic of Chester would make an excellent wallpaper!

I didn't know either; thus, my abject fear. :)

Omg! That is so bizarre!

It ain't something you wanna see in the middle of the night after viewing way too many sci-fi movies in your life.

And..

I love Beagles! My Aunt had one. She had these long, ceiling to floor curtains over her living room windows and her Beagle would work his way behind them, sit with his rump against the wall, and position himself so the curtains were draped over his snout and that was all that showed as he sat there.

Beagles are a hoot!

Here from [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes and the bubbles look weird o.O

But awh at the dogs! I have a Beagle too :D CUTE!

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Very cool! Glad to "meet" you. Any Beagle lover is a pal o'mine.

Because I have to show him off:

He's older now, though. =3

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
OH
MY
GAWD

That is THE cutest dog I've seen in years. What is his name?

[identity profile] bergann.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
His name is Shiloh. Yes, named after the book&&movie =3
You can't see it on the picture, but he has a white spot on his neck that looks like a whale. ^-^

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, this makes me want to get another Beagle, like I need another dog....am currently at 3 dogs, sadly none of which are Beagles, but Riley comes close. Please squeeze Shiloh for me.

[identity profile] bergann.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I only have Shiloh. My dad is/was allergic, so we got Shiloh as a test, but he was stubborn and much work, so now I can't get another dog until I'm of age to move out and get my own place. Can never have too many dogs =3 Will do. Give your 3 hugs from me.

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Will do! When you have your own place, I'll send you a load of dogs and a whole tribe of cats. ;)

OMG the adorable-ness!!

*chortle*

I hear you in your Southern drawl saying "pods" so it makes it even more amusing! Very cool about the bubbles though.

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Moi? A drawl? Surely you jest!

[identity profile] ex-glittert.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. Silky Southern :D

[identity profile] trelina.livejournal.com 2006-02-12 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww!!! Your Henry is more ticked on the face than my Sunny, but their back ends look identical! What a cute pair they make, too. I love that beagles are so not pretentious, they're happy anywhere so long as they can take a nap.

I posted pics of my girls on my journal so feel free to peruse.

Oh, and those bubbles would have caused me to shat myself as well. Congrats on your control at not beating Aunt Tudi to death.

Heheheheheh. Thankies!

I'm off to check out your piccies now.

ToDo: Notify Alien Overlords that their idea to disguise infiltration pods as bubbles is, in spite of my disbelief, a raging success.

You scare so easily and over the silliest stuff. It really is comical. Tell Tudi I owe her a beer for a job well done.

Coming from [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes.

1) Veery nice/creepy pics.

2) Massive amount of icon love.

Ooooo, I dig your Molina-con. Feel free to use the 'Funky Bald Molina,' no credit necessary. Nice to "meet you."
