So I have plenty of research materials. All I�m lacking is the time to work on them. I have a lot of reading and drawing to do. I sent a coffee cup and a journal that I had made at Cafepress to my friend Lee. He seemed tickled with them. But my older drawings are on those. As soon as I get new drawings done, I am going to replace the old ones on the items I have for sale. A couple of my friends would like to see T-shirts with my bone drawings on them.
I have to seriously update my site. I need to get those pics taken of my specimens. I need to update the species list, too. There are 34 species in Canidae, 36 if you count the dingo and the singing dog from New Guinea. But those are variations on Canis familiaris, so I wouldn�t consider them independent species. More like subspecies. So I say 34.
My friend says he�s going to come by on Friday with a partial dog skeleton he picked up. He says that there is a vertebra that one of the ribs fused to on one side and partially fused on the other. I�ll have to see it. He also says he has a Chihuahua skeleton for me, but he hasn�t finished cleaning it yet. I hope he remembers to bring the rest of my raccoon. I need to get back to work on that guy. Lots of restoration needs to be done on his little bones before I can articulate.
That�s it.
