Yesterday Noodle, Peanut, and I went to do a little shopping. We went to JC Penney's and then Kohl's. Next door to Kohl's is Petsmart. Noodle loves to go in there to shop for her bunny, Chuck or her hamster, Leon. She is my little animal lover wanting to save them all and rescue every stray that we come across. She has expressed many times that she wants a new dog or cat. Ferd's dog Kawliga and his cats, Rascal and Pisser, have all now passed away. Losing them was like losing a piece of Ferd all over again and I havent had the desire or room in my heart to get any others. Six days a week Petsmart has cats inside and they only have dogs on Sundays. It seems like we never get there on Sundays so when she noticed a few dogs outside yesterday, she asked if we could go in. I was tired and Peanut was grouchy and we were almost to the van, but I changed my mind and decided that we would go in to see the animals. Noodle knows that she cannot have another pet as long as we have Chuck because they wouldnt get along. However, she couldnt resist asking me for a dog anyway, but this time she asked "Can we get a CLEARANCE dog?" I always shop off the clearance racks and pride myself on being able to clothe the kids so nicely on clearance. I used to buy Ferd's whole wardrobes a season ahead of time. I'm starting to wonder if I have instilled a sense of too much thriftiness in Noodle now though???
