I was checking out of the hardware store the other day, when
I noticed something rather strange on the counter.
Apparently it normally conveyed itself in the woman customer's purse. But the woman thought it needed to relax or something, so she let it walk around on the counter.
The woman told me I could pet the beast if I wanted to. I ungraciously declined. Then the hardware store checkout lady started telling me about bearded dragons, about how friendly they are, and how they cuddle on your pillow at night with you.
I remained unconvinced. But I admit that the beastie was rather personable, as dragons go. Still, I hope this isn't the latest and greatest fad. I say, bring back the teacup poodle or Yorkie.

Thank God my favorite pet is still available.

I suggest the Customer Review "Best Pet We've Ever Had" be read if you are not convinced. A Pet Rock also makes a great companion for a "Aroundtoit'.
I like Yorkies.
ReplyDeleteEd, yes it is time for the pet rock to make a big comeback. Maybe this Christmas. And yes, a modernized version will be called for. Transgender rocks, certainly.
ReplyDeleteAnd tattoos. Perhaps the tattoos will look a bit like Indian petroglyphs. (That will make Barney buy one because he loves petroglyphs so much!) grin.
