As you have undoubtedly heard, in the Chinese Zodiac, it is the Year of the Dragon.

It should have occurred to me that dragons, like turtles, are reptiles. I’m not sure how I missed that. John thought turtles were amphibians, but clearly they are reptiles. Wikipedia says so, so it must be true.

The turtles and sheep have spent their week locked up in my cabinet. I simply could not handle the mayhem and needed a little peace in the studio, if only for a few days.

This weekend I figured that things had calmed down and I could let them out. I am guilty of many such errors in judgement. The turtles and the dragon took to each other right away.

I should have realized right-off what was coming.

It didn’t look good, at first. But the sheep have been in this house longer and they do possess a little knowledge that the turtles don’t, namely that in every house lives a bigger (vegetarian, fruit juice-breathing) dragon.

Sometimes it’s not whom you know, but what you don’t….
