Pipe likes to shop (me, not so much), but generally has no interest when asked if she likes this or that toy. But the other night in Wal-Mart, on the bottom shelf, in a random bin of assorted leashes, toys, etc., Piper spotted and stole a furry flat squirrel (quite reminiscent of road kill) and took off like a bat outa hell. She was, of course, on leash, but she was so thrilled and so cute that I ran after her saying "I'm gonna get that squirrel, Piper. You better give me that toy" And you know how they look when being chased and looking over their shoulder to make sure you're still coming after them--Is anything cuter? So I'm quite sure Wal-Mart surveillance is probably shopping the video of some whacky old broad, running through Wal-Mart at 3am and laughing like an idiot. What do I care, most fun Pipe and I have ever had in store! On the uh-oh side of this, I can no longer ignore the hard truth that my Piper steals for the thrill of it (I opt for image of Grace Kelly, movie It Takes A Thief)...Because after paying for her squirrel, we returned to same bin, whereupon Piper repeated her crime with another squirrel and we re-enacted whole scenario. Danged little delinquent. |
