When I was in the hospital Matt got me this stuffed Border Collie puppy. It's very cute and he named it "Courage" so I would feel brave. (He's so cheesy it's adorable) Well I love this puppy and put it on a bookshelf, as in Sanity's experience all stuffies belong to him. Well, my grandmother decided that it looked better on my bed, so of course Sanity eats it the first chance he gets. I rescue Courage and the damage isn't too bad, tons of drool maybe a broken nose, but I got there quickly and we might be able to save him! I brush and blow dry the puppy, resulting in dried clumps of slobber. The nose is a folded flap of leather and I tape and I glue and...... that little bast**d isn't going back. I look at the bedraggled puppy and two emotions run through my head, sadness because the cute puppy that was a tangible token of Matt's love for me is now hideously scarred and mutilated, and AGHHHHHHH because if Matt finds out he'll freak. So I start looking for puppy online. Find that Toys R Us carries the line exclusively, YAY me! There is a large and a small and I dont know what size I have. BOO me! *#^$!!!!!!!! I start to call Toys R Us-es. NO I don't want the Border Collie puppet! NO a Black Lab is NOT the same thing! My heart is pounding a mile a minute finally I call the last Toys R Us on my list. The guy that answers can't understand me so he transferred to some girl. I am stressed beyond reason at this point and all professionalis
m and grown up facade is gone. I bawl to this complete stranger "OMG do you have any stuffed Border Collie puppies? Not that puppet, the Puppy. My BF gave me one when I was in the hostpial and my dog ate it and he'll be SO pissed you have no idea. So I have to find one and I don't know what size it is, it just has to be the same one and no one has them and I think I'm going to die now." Mind you this was all said in one breath. The girl says "Hold on" I wait with bated breath. Actually no breath, I'm lucky I didn't pass out again. She comes back. "We have both sizes, Big one is $12, little one is $5, which one do you want?" I said "My puppy is from the length of my elbow to my wrist." She says "That's the small one!'' Never have I been more greatful for Matt's penny pinching ways. She puts a hold on it till tomorrow afternoon. I am happy! I relax. I tense up again. AGHHHHHHH I can't drive till Tuesday! AGHHHHHHH!!!!! I call a ton of "FRIENDS" to help me. They are all busy. They are all now off my Christmas card list. Jerks. Finally get a hold of a kid I barely know, and he says he'll do it. But he wants $10. He's a jerk too. So this GIFT that I received is costing me $15, plus the years I took off my life with the mini heart attacks.Â
Yeah my dog is great. Â
