"TheTawny (not so Scrawny) Lion"

Calvin was a lion for Halloween... because he really knows how roar. Beyond cute, we couldn't help but laugh every time we saw him suffering through that big orange mane. He reminded me of the "Tawny Scrawny Lion" (anyone remember the old Golden Books?)...who plans to eat a little bunny friend and all of it's long-eared siblings, except that the wise rabbits feed him vegetable soup every day 'til he's too full and fat to eat or run after any other animals.

Likewise, our Calviano has really beefed up on his regular diet of milk. However, he is noticing more and more that everyone around him eats real food while he watches us ravenously.

We had a busy Halloween, I was a lion along with Cal and Brandon was a lion tamer (who was endlessly mistaken as Indiana Jones- due to his whip). Brandon also provided us with an abundant amount of comic relief as an Umpa Loompa for work. He was roped into a cooperative lab effort to allow his boss to be a convincing Willie Wonka surrouded by orange faced helpers. What a sport!!!!
