FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

January 28, 2008

Congratulations to last week’s contest winner, Amy Rea, whose-stuffed reindeer-humping Gracie amused our judge (Tom, that boy I’m married to).

Just now, I ordered her prize — a t-shirt from those lovely Life is Good people. They’ll ship it directly to her. On the back, it has the motto: “Do what you like. Like what you do.” In my head, I always say it as “love” instead. I guess I’m even more optimistic than the company.

For those who may have missed Amy’s entry, here is a little story about Gracie:

One year we gave Gracie a stuffed reindeer for Christmas. She ignored it for several days. Then–oh, my. Is this a rated-G blog? Because her behavior was at least NC-17! And she went on for an HOUR! Hubby and I turned off the TV, just to watch. At the end of the marathon, she suddenly froze, then, as if in slow motion, tipped onto her side, still clutching the reindeer.

The next day she chewed off the antlers and nose and ripped the stuffing out. Doesn’t get much more Freudian than that.

Visit Amy’s knitting blog when you get a chance.
