Weekly Pet Challenge – Throwback Pee

Yesterday, I was cleaning a mound of papers and miscellaneous items at work and came across this little gem up above – I have never seen this photo. With that said, it was taken by her daddy. Judging from the tape and the pile of paper it was tucked in, I deduce it came from Bill’s first office – he moved locations in 2006.
Sydnee Pee became a member of our family on March 6, 2005 and at the time she was approximately 3 months old. What is cute about this photo (other than Pee being cute all the time) is that Sydnee Pee had not grown into her body quite yet and her coat was not the golden honey color you see now. Also, she used to drink her water sitting down and if you take a real close look, you can see a stream of water falling from her mouth, which by the way is presently common, except she drinks standing up. (Imagine a horse drinking from a trough:)

The celesta, an instrument invented in 1886, gets its name for its “celestial,” tinkling sound. It provides the distinctive music that accompanies the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. It is a struck idiophone operated by a keyboard. Tchaikovsky is considered to be the first major composer to utilize the celesta in a musical composition – his Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is the most well-known. (For the music buffs in the audience, Tchaikovsky first used the instrument in a symphonic poem – The Voyevoda in 1891 – The Nutcracker was written in 1892.)
