this past saturday night i stayed at home since my boyfriend was out of town at a funeral and my youngest daughter was at an overnight babysitting gig. i was all excited to finish "lucy" as i never stay home on a saturday night to draw! i poured myself a delicious glass of red wine, my oldest daughter was snuggled up tight next to me on the couch, we were watching iron man on tv when all of a sudden my daughter was shrieking at the top of her lungs. my head jerked up, i knocked my wine glass over with my drawing board...wine spilled everywhere...i looked over to see what the heck!! shortie had brought me a gift...a rat larger than our foster kitten coonie! He ran off to my bedroom and that's where i spent a good portion of my saturday night...chasing after a giant rat. after much imploring, i was able to talk my daughter into finally helping me. we exhaustively managed to capture him and get him safely outside. not exactly how i had envisioned my night going but i did complete lucy...my original goal...just had to stay up later than i was expecting!
coonie wiped out after all the activity!
shortie, the gift giver keeping a watchful eye on all the commotion

What a gift! I've received similar offerings and I'm always a little startled!
Beautiful drawing.
EEEEK!! That sounds horrifying to have to chase after a huge rat, when you'd rather be drawing!! Good thing the wine didn't spill on it because it looks BEAUTIFUL!! =-)
YIKES. Now thats what I call a major distractions.
Lucy is beautiful!
You are very talented.
What - you didn't photograph the rat?? Just kidding.... I am really a mess with any kind of critters. Kudos to you for handling the situation and lucky your wine did not spill on the lovely Lucy!!! Phew!!
