poser 4, vue 4 this is a dream i had. i woke up one morning and there were elephants playing out in the snow. the sun was shining brilliantly just above some low clouds and a dazzling sky. the light reflected off the sea, sparkling like a jewel. i felt truly blessed to live in such a beautiful area, where wild elephants could frolic... in the snow. well, you know how dreams go. they were snuffling up snow in their trunks and shooting it out as if it were water. and having a snow cone. the big one there saw me watching and shot a spray of snow at the window. then the baby elephants ran off, but the large fellow decided to try climbing up on a shed and ended up galloping over the roof! then he jumped down and did it again; musta been great fun. but i was wondering how i was going to explain THAT to the landlords... then two big lions ran over the roof and leapt onto a neighbors deck. man, how lucky can you get? two beautiful animals frolicking right on your deck! (okay, so i'm weird!) but then i saw the landlords coming in, so i tried distracting this other lion by tapping on the window. he wasn't fooled though, he went right to 'em. he poked his nose right in the door as they tried to get in, and the landlady shoved his head out and shooed him off. she's brave! but while she was doing that, i saw a little cub sneak in the door behind them, and then they shut the door! uh oh. so i went and scooped up the cub; he was a big, velvety cuddly purring little critter. i brought him out to the lions (hoping they could tell i wanted to help). they were happy to get their little pride member back, and they came up to me and nuzzled me, and i was hugging and petting them. all in all, i'd say it was a dream of good portents. (except maybe for the roof!) debra ross' elephant family, and pakky, who is by... erm, i forget at the moment, but i should be back with the info!
