I have decided to buy a French Bulldog and name her Acer Palmatum Bloodgood. I'm just kidding (Although if I weren't allergic to their fur, I would definitely get a Frenchie....really cute!) Daniel and I got a Japanese Maple Tree and planted it outside the big window in our living room. I suppose that's the scientific name for the variety of Japanese Maple we have with the purplish-red leaves. I've never attempted gardening before and I've been known to kill many a house plant, so I'm not sure how this experiment will turn out. For a living creature to survive in my care, I need it to whine if it needs something. Sam's robust health is thus easily explained. Anyway, apparently these trees need a little shade because the strong sun in the summer can scorch the leaves. Since we live in a condo, however, and none of the garden is really "ours" the spot we chose will have to work. Perhaps if I spray water on the tree's leaves with the spray bottle we usually use to pelt Sam when he is naughty, they won't get scorched. I'll post some pictures soon. They are quite pretty trees.

And just because I love him so much, here is a picture of Samwise Gamgee.
And Frodo Baggins....
Daniel said that the shag with bangs was his least favorite of my haircuts. What do you think?
