Our Melissa! (Daughter’s name for every swallowtail of this kind.) We had tons of its caterpillars eating my parsley and dill in Turkey, so we collected and fed a few in jars to watch how they turn into butterflies.

And that’s the story behind Kristoff’s picture:

While those creations are truly beautiful, it just serves to show how different your palettes are from ours here in the U.S. We might put a fruit topping over our ice cream, but the actual fruit? no. And the topping would be very sweet.
It was sweet, but not overly so. Mine had a delicious gingerbread ice cream under the fruit. It was gorgeous!

I'll try to find a photo of the whole car
The last of the rear wheel drive cars with a transplanted, late model engine.
Had 58 hp from the factory in 1981. Now has over 130.
It's a lot of fun.
That's a pretty sporty looking little auto. Will you also be replacing the front bumper?

He looks so satisfied living with you and your family. Do you know something about his past live ? Was he a stray dog or something else ?

He was a stray and he’s skinny! The vet would like him to gain 1-2lbs.

I really think he was abused. He is head shy when you go into pet him, but loves to be pet. He tip toes to you but freezes when approached. He’s improved a lot in a week.
I’m on a mission to turn him around but also know the lasting effects will always be there.

He’s content sleeping and today he started actually running around the house but as soon as he sees me he runs away and back on the sofa.

Poor little dog. It is obviously that he was beaten. He is full of fear. It will take a long time until he can forget what has happen to him.
He will need a lot of love and patience. I am sure he is in the best hands in your family. Your other dogs will help the little guy to learn that not all people beat poor little dogs.

Thank you!! He is priority right now!
Last night he crawled in my lap and curled up[emoji173]️. Baby steps.
I should video him so I have before and after.
