Epilogue

Just in case the last post seemed a bit too cutesy:

A little while ago I noticed the Snuggle Puppy poster on the ground in Will's room (with everything else he and Isaac own) and when I peered a little closer I noticed markings all over the Puppy. I also noticed a Bic pen lying on the ground with everything else Will and Isaac own so I asked Will what all the markings were. They were arrows. Not the kind in a compass, the kind Robin Hood owns. Apparently Snuggle Puppy is now Slaughtered Puppy.

Oooodalolly ooodalolly!

Puppy Love

So the other day Will's teacher called me during school. I answered the phone rather nervously, wondering what was wrong. She informed me that Will had won a coloring contest and as a prize, he could choose a poster at the Book Fair and could I come and help him pick one out? Yes, you read that right: Will won a coloring contest.

I went after school and took Will up to the Book Fair to see the 3 giant boxes of posters he could choose from. He was clueless as to what was going on. I told him we would look through the posters in one box and then after he saw them all, he could choose. The very first poster we saw was a cute little puppy. We continued to flip for a few minutes past all kinds of posters of teen idols, Spiderman motorcycles and lots of "sweet" shiny sports cars. Three-fourths of the way through the box, there was a pink poster with hearts and a grey kitty. After seeing them all, it came down to the pink kitty or the snuggly puppy. A hard decision but the puppy came home with us. How appropriate for the snuggle bug of the family.
