Car gets a paintjob and is renamed "Smurf"

Here are some pictures of my baby mice, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, when they were just changing from fuzzies to hoppers:

They're just about grown now.

Here are some pictures of the Smurf Car. It was supposed to be a much darker, metallic blue with more green in it. Not smurf blue. Computer color being what it is does not pick up cobalt blue very well - and turns it into smurf blue - but that's not all the computer's fault in this case...

I think a third (and maybe a fourth) coat of something darker is definitely in its future...

Here are some pictures of Lyra:

It depends upon whether or not they continue to amuse me... Rosencrantz has a better survival rating, because she likes to be picked up and petted, she doesn't stink, she has longish, satiny fur, and she made friends with gremliness who would be most disappointed if her friend Rosie came to an ignoble end. Since a Rosencrantz without a Guildenstern is kind of lopsided, I've kept him also. This would change on a mere whim, since they're still mice and therefore little squeaking prey animals by design, except that rialian thinks that would be hideous and stuff.
