Oh Daver, you had me laughing LOL I guess that sweetling must almost have felt like one of the "frightening things" when she looked at you with eyes like emeralds embedded in moss? You crack me up!!:)) In reality Mognome was a tiny painted turtle...having no resemblance to any of those characters. I"m still giddy..hehe Best wishes, Love, Mikki
