My Buddy Boy

About seven months ago, our Jack Russell, Dixie, passed away. After that happened, my parents took her mate, Buddy, to care for since we were moving away. Today, I got the news that Buddy passed away early this morning. He was nearly fifteen years old and was always a sweet, silly, tenacious little dog. They are both very missed.

A Duct Tape Christmas: The Result

I think my evil plan was appreciated by all :)

A Duct Tape Christmas

Every year, my uncle Allen tapes up my Christmas present (and probably does the same for some of my cousins) with duct tape. Then, he sits by, as we open our gifts, laughing at our struggles.

This year, I get my revenge.

My mom came up with the idea of buying him a duct tape wallet for Christmas as a gag gift.



Then, I decided to be extra evil and wrap the entire present in duct tape.





I even learned how to make a duct tape bow.



I can't wait for my uncle and the rest of my family to see this tomorrow morning!

Sorry that there has been so much picture spam from me today. I just got a new cord for my camera so I had four months' of pictures to upload.

Here are a few more.
