Introducing our adopted furbaby...Lyra!! ((now with PICTURES!!!))
Ok, so, this is the most amazing dog ever. I'll post the pics first because I know Ive been teasing people with posts about her but with no pics :D

But without further torture, here she is, Queenie/Lyra, the girl who was almost put down:









She's been in and out of foster homes all her life, but she's really taken a shine to us, especially my fiance. She's SUCH a daddy's lil' girl already it's hilarious :D

So now we're a family :)

3. all three of us were worn out from playing yesterday
it's amazing she only chews what we tell her is "hers". If she picks up a shoe or starts biting on something, we say "not yours" and she just drops what she has and goes to find her chewie bone. It's awesome.

2. Lyra?
I do believe the appropriate animal to name "Lyra" is a pine marten.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Why not get a snow leopard and name it Asriel? Or a cat and name it Will?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sorry. I've just never seen an animal named "Lyra" before, and I can only assume it's because you're an HDM fan.

:D

6. We named her because of that. We're HDM fanatics.
It might be my favorite trilogy ever, and Kyle loves it too. And Lyra is a very appropriate name for her :D

9. HDM is fucking amazing.
I've read it so many times I can't even count. So good.

I can't wait to see the movie, even IF Marisa Coulter is fucking blonde. I just want to see the daemons.

11. you know that Coulter is played by Nicole Kidman, right?
Check out the casting:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0385752/

This has the potential to be a fucking amazing cinema trilogy, right on with LOTR.

(same production company, New Line, I think)

13. I am boycotting the movie
simply because the books were *so* good I don't want them tainted.

I especially don't want to see any bad CGI polar bears. Like, if they're going to do it right they're going to do the WHOLE battle between Iorek and Iofur. The WHOLE battle. :evilgrin: And if they do the WHOLE battle I don't know how they can avoid an R rating, ya know?

Those books are the bomb. Dare I say better than Harry Potter (in some ways)? :P

With HP it's hard to read the books and not see the movies, which I think is a bit of a loss in some ways. :(

14. i know your concerns are real, but New Line Cinema is handling this and they did GREAT with LOTR
So I am VERY optimistic on the movie's quality--and the cast looks great.

So I'm very hopeful :)
