The day started out like any other Christmas... here I am opening a hypnotized snake... Taken with my family's new snazzy digital camera.



But soon after the gifts were unwrapped, tragedy struck (wish I had a better word than that). Our dog, Mr. Uggins, formerly Puppy Uggins (He was promoted on his first birthday) was struck by a car. My sister went to call for him to come inside, and he didn't come, so I went to get my shoes to go look for him. Before I could get out the door, I hear screaming. He was lying in the middle of the road, with his head ran over. I saw my mother carry him back, and at first I thought he was still alive, because his legs were kicking, but these were just spasms... What a Christmas...

We Love You, Mr. Uggins. Rest in Peace.
