Yesterday was awesome~<br><br> First: <br>I've been eyeballing a kennel for awhile; trying to obtain the first, and thus far only, giftie that I created back when I used to play about 4 years ago. I contacted the person when I first returned(I believe my messages were ignored) 7 months ago, so it's been a 7 month wait. I'm so glad to finally have him back, and it surprises me that he's remained a 1oak all these years.<br><br> Chow chow giftie:<br> <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=446216"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=446216</a><br><br>; Second:<br> Later on in the day I went to Lowes to look at succulents and cactus since I love them. I have now added Zebra plant(Haworthia fasciata), Split Rock(Pleiospilos nelii), and a small Aloe "Walmsley's Blue" to my collection. I already own Bear Paws(Cotyledon tomentosa), Thumb Cactus(Mammillaria matudae), Sedum nussbaumerianum(guessing), and some type of Jade plant(also guessing). I'll probably post up photos later.<br><br> Lowes also had a Costa Rican Butterfly Vine(Dalechampia dioscoreifolia), which I've never seen before. So pretty. It has these flowers/leave that are metallic purple, and resemble butterflies/wings. If I had $30 to spare I would have gotten it, but I was only planning on spending at most $10(succulents are cheap) while there(total was $9 something with my mom's Jalapeno plant). Yay for sticking to a budget~<br> <br> Third:<br> Saw a Gulf Fritillary(Agraulis vanillae) for the first time. I seriously could not stop staring at the 2 gorgeous specimens cooling down and fluttering about as we were browsing the plants. They are the most vibrant orange/red butterflies I have ever seen, and we get quite a few orange/red butterflies in California(I've raised painted ladies).<br> Image from <a href="http://tolweb.org/Agraulis_vanillae/70429"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">here</a><br> <img src="http://tolweb.org/tree/ToLimages/2187046.300a.jpg"; alt="http://tolweb.org/tree/ToLimages/2187046.300a.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br> The only thing that sort of sucked yesterday, was that I think I burned my feet on some of our flagstone while trying to get a picture of a cabbage butterfly.
I'm done with VP. I'll just be around until I get all my dogs and lines placed in good hands. If you want to contact me, please do so through deviantART.

    Congrats on the dog :D I know people people were watching it to get their colors back before someone else got it (and maybe start breeding the colors). I got a few of mine and others landed in good hands where they neutered it for me. <br><br>Not to mention you got mine and traded it back to me! I'm still thankful you're the one that got it xD <br><br><br>It's nice to see good vents once in awhile ^-^

    Thanks. I was so worried I wasn't going to get him after all the waiting I had done. <br><br> You traded me a really nice giftie in return. I must say though, I really loved your giftie. I had bookmarked him ahead of time so I could get him. I most likely would have kept him for myself if you had not contacted me.
