My Minecraft Family

Here are my wolfs. When I was out farming string for a fishing rod (So I could catch some Fish for a Cat) and I came across some Wolfs behind my mountain, which I tamed. The first one only needed one Bone while the second needed three or four. As I was hunting thought the night they got injured so I fed them both some Rotten Flesh, which since 1.2.5 makes them have puppies (Any meat will do, I just use Flesh because it has no other use for me). So far I'v had two puppies.
Near my house there is a Jungle Biome. When I had gathered ten Fish I went there in search of an Ocelot. Unfortunately I only managed to find one which I tamed asap. I love this one because of its greens eyes.
Here is my complete Minecraft family (One of the puppies has grown up)

New World, New House, New Mine

(House built on the 12-7-2012)
 My new house. I mined into a mountain and dug out a 10x10 room and filled the walls with wood and making it 9x9. For the roof and floor I decide to use logs (which when using stone tools takes ages). I needed about three stacks of logs to finish the whole room. At each side, in the middle I carved in a 3x2 hole for my chests. But because it wasn't even, at one side I placed a Crafting Bench and at the other a Furnace (across from each other). Near the door I placed a stair and two Wooden Slabs. Then I thought i'd be needing more furnaces so I placed two one space away from the slabs on either side. Directly adjacent to them I placed beds. Next to the left bed (As if you where looking from the door) I placed a Jukebox and the right bed I placed an Enchanting Table. And finally, in the middle I carved out a 3x1 hole dug severn block down and put a Trap Door at the top leading to mine. 
This is my mine which goes straight down to level twelve. So far I have found fifteen of so diamonds, which took me about half an hour to an hour. The stair way down it three blocks in width and about four in hight. With it being so high you can run down whilst not hitting your head, which slows your character down.

My first Snowman

Above are the Snowmen I created on my new world. I spawned in a Tundra Biome and thought Snowmen would be the perfect guards (Even though they do absolutely nothing). I think they freaky as hell and incredibly cool. All together I have about four Snowmen patrolling around my house, i use them like an early warning system for mobs by listening for snowballs being thrown or the sound of a mob being injured (even though they do no damage, you still hear a noise as if they were damaged.

To create you need two Snow blocks on top of one another and one pumpkin at the top, giving it its head.
