{my attempt to capture 52 photos that represent joy - my word for 2010}
so i have a monster. well, i have lots of them, but one is small and fuzzy and green. the other day, i introduced him to the pup. in the first photo, he is screaming, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! save me! this thing just chomped on me! don't leave meeeeeeeeeeee." in the second photo, he is getting his revenge. or else he is attempting to kiss and make up. who knows.
simple pleasures. imagination. stories.
pure joy.
Lol! I love an imaginative story. Thanks for the AM giggles. :)

This is so adorable. I love the texture of the monster fuzz next to the texture of the dog fuzz. Two kinds of adorable fuzz, now brought together by love! Nom nom nom!

Could it be, in the first picture, that the dinosaur is singing...Opera...to Atlas?
Like Mozart, mebbe?
He's very cute.

This is very joyful...and so sweet! Atlas doesn't seem to be minding that a little monster is biting him...LOL! Happy Weekend to you all there--creatures great and small ;o) ((HUGS))

Oh, my lord that is so cute, Elizabeth! I love Atlas, as you already know, and your photos of him are a joy to me as is. But add in a fuzzy stuffed monster, and it's almost cuteness overload. ;)

@meredith: my little monster really is cute, isn't he. atlas may have a rival. ;)
@tracy: i don't think he was enamored with it. he kept eyeing me as if to say, "sheesh .. the things i have to put up with."
@rose: i'm glad they made you happy! i was thinking that this set might be joyful only to me. ;)
@victoria: atlas and grendel thank you. :)
@bridget: oh! maybe! i thought he was screaming, but maybe he hasn't practiced in a while. hee.
@christina, @kolleen: i'm so glad!
