Rattlesnake Roundup

Yep, the title explains it all. I went to the Rattlesnake Roundup this past weekend. Around 24,999 other people decided to go too. Man, that place was packed! And to think, all those people were there to see rattlesnakes, or to people watch, I'll never know. I don't care for snakes, no matter how big or small. But, I went with my bff and her five children because I haven't been since I was a child. All I remember from the rattlesnake roundup is that men would "milk" the snakes and then drink their venom in orange juice- To each his own. woof.

Those are real rattlesnakes, not the ones that were being 'round up' but instead at a reptile show.  


Oh wait, you haven't been introduced to this beautiful lady, this is my bff, Aimee. She's holding a rattlesnake head key chain. It even had "venom" dripping from the fangs. eh hem gross.


These three, sweet girls are O, E, and M. 
I had them facing the sun when I took the picture, smart, right?


And since I don't do snakes of any kind I opted for a more furry creature; a bunny in the petting zoo.


                 Oh, and don't worry, roo was safe at his Mamacat's and Jimdaddy's house.

Okay, so there are SOO many more reasons why I love Quincy Roo but I thought this would be a good time to show some pictures of him. I mean, really, he doesn't take a bad picture!

 He's a boat riding kind of dog!
 He's a dock jumping kind of dog!
He's a snow lovin' kind of dog!
He's a sunglass wearin' kind of dog!
 He's a riding with his head out of the car kind of dog!
He's a playing at the park kind of dog!
 
He's a photogenic kind of dog!

A cartoon roo

On a social networking site, a friend from high school offered to do a caricature of anyone who wanted one. Of course, I obliged, after Quincy begged to have one done.

The original picture:
Quincy and I took this picture at his cousin's goose's house.


And without further ado, here it is, in all its glory!

A cartoon Roo (and la)


Roo licking his nose was totally not planned but I think it adds caricature to the picture. ha!
I can't get enough of it.  
I'm absolutely in love with it. 
I know this will be something that I cherish for a long time.
