Wallyreader Jessica wrote us on Thursday night to tell us that her dog was stolen–right off her front porch!
O.k., she’s not a real dog, but she’s a slightly larger than life-sized ceramic boxer who’s been sitting on my porch since 2003. Someone made off with her a few months back, but dropped her a couple blocks away, and some friends of Molly Moon brought her back to me. This afternoon, I noticed she was gone.
If you see Fifi, drop Jessica an e-mail. She may not be a Sheldon, but she’s special in her own way.
Days away from your 40th birthday, isn’t it time to put away childish things, like ceramic boxers?
“Wherefore” means “why”, not “where.”
Perhaps that is appropriate for a ceramic boxer… On the other hand, I had a stone pig stolen from my garden, so I can hardly question someone else’s taste in ornaments, especially at such a time.
Somewhere, Fruitbat, my Shakespeare professor is shaking his fist at me.
Oh Fruitbat, more than my taste has been questioned.
Thanks for posting! We’ve temporarily replaced her with an old stereo cabinet and a rickety cart. Much less charm.
