WOW! Such detail in so little of a package. She is adorable.
I love Colorado. It is a beautiful state, but I'm glad I'm not there right now.
Watermelly is adorable. But, shame on you. Watermelon is my favorite food of all. Here in the north, there just are not watermelons to be found in the winter. So I go through withdrawal all winter long. I am now craving watermelon like mad, and your bear has not helped me. 
That is one cute dinner guest.
I'm not sure how many tea bags you would use, just make a real strong tea. You also can add a tiny bit of vinegar to the water. As far as how long, I usually leave it about 20 minutes then test it to see if it's what I want. You can also use coffee for an aged look.
What a beautiful set. I think I prefer the first picture. You get a better view of all of the items.
Melisa, I think you will be very happy that you decided to rescue. It has been my experience that these horses know what you have done for them, and they will return the love to you many times over. Have fun with these beautiful ones.
Now that is one cute little piggy!
Absolutely beautiful, as usual.
What a cute face! He's adorable.
What a cutie!
Jewel is adorable! She looks like the cat in one of my Beatrix Potter stories.
Hello, Nataly. It is nice to meet you here. The picture of Bernhard is not showing up on my computer, but the bears in your avatar picture are adorable. Did you make those?
Dill has found a home. He will be living at a zoo. He is being moved this weekend.
Cute. What a creative way to use scraps.
Matilda is very cute. So much detail in 3" of bear.
Well, I am now in the process of placing the pig with people who are more knowledgable than I am. I don't know a whole lot about pigs, and I have no plans on keeping him. You all know that I am crazy about animals, but I can't do pigs. My grandmother was killed by a herd of pigs, so I just have not been able to "love" a pig. But I also can't just let this one run loose here, so I have confined him until he's ready to be transported. Like you all have said, my real problem is with the people who are so irresponsible.
Well, I have been in contact with a few people in rescues and the vets office. We feel like this is a pot belly pig that was once someone's pet. For whatever reason, none of them legitimate, he has been dumped. He seems comfortable around dogs, and he is somewhat friendly. He is a bit shy right now. So, for the time, I have named him Dill and we are in the process of finding him a home. Luann, if I'm not mistaken you are in Texas, right? We spent some time in the Davis mountains last year, and had some up close encounters with the javelinas. This little guy is not even close the their adult size. He is more the size of the young ones, but he is not a young pig. If I understand right, the pot belly pigs would be several years old before they develop tusks. But for now, the search is on. I think I will call the local game warden.
This was just so funny that I had to share. I went to feed the horses this morning and noticed my duck, Polly, standing near some loose hay like she was looking for a fight. When I got closer, the hay began to move. I expected a raccoon to emerge. But low and behold, this pig came out of the hay. Now I don't own any pigs, and I don't know of anyone around here who does. I do believe this must be a pot belly. It is not very big, but it is not a young one. Notice the tusks. I fed it breakfast and we will see if it moves on. The horses are not happy with it, they are actually terrified of it.
I have always said that I love the spirit of a terrier. They are very determined, and they will not let their small size stop them. It amazes me to watch Lily and Andrea play. Andrea outweighs Lily 10 times over, but she is so gentle. To watch them, you would think someone would surely be hurt, but there is never even a yip. They may not be from the same litter, but they are sisters.
WOW he is beautiful! He does look so pettable (maybe that's not a word).
It looks like a picture straight from a story book.
Now that is just so cute!
That is just so sweet. That just flies in the face of those who say that animals don't have feelings. They obviously know about love and compassion.
I was sitting here sewing when my two girls (Lily the yorkie and Andrea the german shepherd) began a wrestling match. I just had to stop and take a picture. Even though Lily is outweighed many times over (8 lbs. vs 90 lbs.), she seems to be the one winning this event. It was just hilarious to watch, and listen to, these two. They sure have come a long way from the days they showed up here as rescues. They are so happy and healthy now.
