Anyone seen a Blue Dog???

This was just last night with beloved Blue Dog.
So, we were in San Antonio at 10:30 am this morning.


46.7 miles from our house to the carpet store where we forgot G's beloved "blue dog."




Anyone who has been around G knows he may as well be Linus with Blue in tow. Imagine our surprise when at 12:08pm when we find out that blue is MIA. I frantically phoned the store which closed at 12pm!!! Terrified I start calling stores in Austin for a new blue.


79miles later we arrive at Nordstroms for a new blue.




As we get to the counter where they are holding him Brenna sees him first and says "thats NOT the right blue." It seems Gund has revamped him. I buy him hoping for just 2 days of cuddles. Nope! G threw him at him the minute I tried to pass him off.




25miles later we are home.


I lay G down for a nap with the new blue (just in the off chance he may give in) and B's lambie which is blues sibling basically. It was AWEFUL. He cried, and whined for an hour and never gave in. During this hour I made about 30 phone calls trying to find a new/old school blue. A boutique had one in a back room in a drawer as luck would have it. So, we scooped up G and off we went.




30 miles later and we are at the boutique.


We enter and G sees the woman with the new old blue and he turns and runs screaming. How the heck does he know? Granted they have been inseperable for 2 years now but still. I grab it deciding to wash it and try again and off we go.




30 miles later (and one stop back at the mall) and we are home!






So, 210 miles, 2 blue dogs, a miserable G, tired B, worn out mommy, working daddy and all I can say is its going to be a VERY long night!
Help!!!
