This toy retails at $130; I got it for free. (Yay me.) While out for our lunchtime walk, I got talking to a slightly odd couple a block from our house. They asked the usual "How old?" questions about Rose and Gus. But, sitting next to them, with a flapping free sign, was the beast in the photograph. In between my rehearsed explanation of Gus's lineage and apologies for his kisses, I was thinking of various methods of getting the "little tike" home. The couple quickly realized my dilemma, and the man took things upon himself. He asked for our house number, lifted the beast over his head and marched towards our house. I trailed behind him, desperately thanking him for his kindness as dirty water seeped out of holes onto his pristine polo-shirt and shorts. Sometimes, people are great.
