oh ringo, where are you my little husky? i have a big stick for you!

so i looked up carrying cases for ringo online at petsmart.com. in the dog section i find some decent sized ones for small dogs (since you wouldn't be putting a huge-ass dog in something you were supposed to be able to carry anyway). using a yardstick (that both monkey and ringo had to play with of course) i measured the ringo and decided that the intermediate size would work good. so i print out the webpage and take it to the store with me. when i get there i find that not only do they not have the intermediate size but that the sizes they do have cost $10 more in the store than they do online. so i hemmed and hawed a bit about asking one of the wandering employees and finally decided to ask the checkout person who agreed that it was the same item but it cost more at the store. checjout person didn't know why this was the case though so i asked her if she could ask the manager (me! can you believe it?). so she calls the manager over and she explains that the store has to pay for employees whereas not so much with the online store. that seemed to make sense and ringo needs a bigger cage and $32 isn't as bad as we were originally expecting anyway so i said ok i just wanted to know, i'll buy it anyway or something along those lines and then she decides to give it to me for the cheaper price! which is frelling awesome! she said it was because i was nice about it and that you get more with honey than vinegar. of course i couldn't even imagine making a big stink about it after she gave me a logical explanation for why it was more expensive at the store, but she doesn't have to know that. i got a nice big and spacious ringo carrier for $22 and i was giggling like i maniac when i left that store. i love getting things for cheaper than they're supposed to be! wheeeeeee!

and i'm not sure the fact that it was on the clearance rack negates the trauma of laerning that shirts were created and sold that say: "Mrs. Timberlake" on them. i mean thats just all kinds of sad.

i got sandals they are really cool and me-like though, cuz part of the leather uppers are blue and they were more funky than the other varieties they had and less high-heeled too.

don't you mean mr. and mrs. great big pile of dust?

i still can't believe his middle name is William.
