Next time, try doing that in Courier new, i think you did it in Aial, but that's
a proportional font. ASCII-Art is always done in a fixed width font.

However, if i look past the use of Arial, it's a nice start.

Right, now open the textfile in notepad. Looks screwed, right? Right.
That's how most of us see that pic.
Here's how i think you've meant for it to look (well, sort of):

  (.) (.)
  \     /
   )   (
  (  V  )
