I went to Target earlier this week with the intention of buying only a few things. Rightttttt. Target is a trap and it is hard for one to walk out of there without blowing their budget out of the water. Since my local store is being renovated (they're adding fresh produce - yay!) I had an excuse to wander around aimlessly (well more aimlessly than normal). I stumbled upon the one of the pet aisles and couldn't resist buying Tucker a new rope (come on, it was only $3/4) and a fake squirrel. Tucker is, quite simply, obsessed with squirrels. When he sees one, he pauses, tries to pull me, pauses, then slowly backs up if he's too close. Then as I try to persuade him to "leave it" and walk away, he keeps looking behind to try to get a glimpse. The best is when he looks at trees that he has seen squirrels run up days prior.
Embarassingly, the other week during a routine after-work walk, Tucker picked up a dead squirrel. It was hidden in the bushes. Tucker is notorious for quickly (where does that speed come from?) picking up trash during walks. I really thought he had picked up a food wrapper judging by the way he moved...NO. It was a freaking dead squirrel. Thank goodness he dropped it right away.
I digress...Tucker loves squirrels so I thought that getting him a lifesized fake one would make him happy. Boy oh boy...he's ecstatic! I apologize...all of these photos were taken with my Droid 2.
Mark made me take this photo of the two of them. So cute!
Lastly, I came home to this earlier in the week. Surprisingly Tucker did not disturb the perfectly lined up remotes.
Tucker looks like a happy boy! I'm just curious how long that squirrel lasted, because stuffed animals go fast around our house.
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel is still surprisingly with us...though I had to sew his one foot back on. Stuffed animals don't last long here either! We had to resort to hiding the squirrel and I refuse to touch it since it's so gross. His ropes, on the other hand, last forever!
