Gumby

Remember that cute little weird rubber man named Gumby?  We now have one.

Tony ordered meds for Margo from PetMeds.com.  When they came, I opened the box to find a Gumby toy in there, too.  Tony had seen it online and thought it would be fun for our princess.  Ok, he really just needed to add something else to score free shipping, but whatev. 

I turned into the worst dog mom ever this year.  I forgot about our daughter's birthday.  Last year we had a huge party with all of our  her friends, and this year I didn't even give her a bone.  Gasp, I know.  Her birthday was Thursday, and we remembered on Friday.  So Saturday I took her to Petsmart and let her pick out a toy.  She wanted all of them that she could reach, plus the little 3 year old at the checkout, but I told her she couldn't have him.  We left with a stuffed alligator, that I'm sure won't make it through the week, and 3 big bones. 

So when Gumby came in the PetMeds box, we just acted as if we had ordered it for her birthday.  She'll never know.

A bit apprehensive at first

But she'll eat anything, so I wasn't worried.

Mr. Gumby makes me think of that one time at a KSU football game when everyone was calling me 'Blue Gumby'...

I have no idea where they came up with that...



So Happy Late Birthday Margo.  I'm a terrible mom.  Maybe you'll get to go to daycare twice this week?
