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.

"Snuggle puppy"? Is that not your pet name for Dave?

Mark, you've got it backwards--that's Dave's name for me.

Ha!
