Welcome to Addie Speak!

    Hello! As you might know already, my name is Addie, and this is my blog, Addie Speak. This is just about what happens in the day, what you should know about me, and other things like that.

    First, let us begin with an "All about ME!" section. One of my favorite colors is pink. I have a pet dog named Tyler:

    He is a Bull Terrier (for those of you that do not know what that is, he is the same breed as the Target dog), and he is very sweet. The shelter we got him from said he was going to be kind of mean and rough but really, he is very nice. This may seem weird, but this dog is an obsessive licker! That's just about all he does other than walk, sleep, play and eat.

    Anyway, enough about the dog. Let's move on to me now. Other than the dog and pink, another of my overly favorite things is Dragons (all of the pictures of dragons I found on websites on Google).

Those two dragons are awesome, aren't they? I think that they are my favorite dragons out of the whole group of dragon and drake pictures I have. There are many other things that I like. For instance, I really like all kinds of butterflies. We saw one of those HUGE yellow ones in our backyard.

Oh! that makes me remember that one time we saw a real crane in our backyard.

He was sooooo beautiful. He must have come down for lizards because every once in a while he would waggle his neck a bit and then shoot forward to spear a lizard. That part was pretty nasty. But, overall, having a real live crane in our yard was amazing!

Did you hear?

A long, long time ago (actually towards the end of last year, sometime in December) one of our lovely rats died. Oh! Don't get the wrong idea! This rat was our pet. Kind of freaked you out there, didn't I? Her name was Queen Lily, and here are her pictures:

Isn't she sweet? The picture of her on the bottom looks actually kind of freaky with her red eyes and stuff Some people think having a rat as a pet is kind of weird because of those scaly tails that they have. Actually, their tails aren't so bad. Even so, if you brush the tail the wrong way, you get pricked. I'm mildly allergic, so I know!
