What a weekend! PJ really missed Gus but he was taking it alright. He'd ask for him from time to time, but was able to sleep with a Peef teddy bear about the same size. Anyway, I put a bid on a replacement on Ebay and it sat there for three days, then in the last 10 seconds someone swooped in and outbid me before I could react. I emailed "powerpuff girl" (via Ebay) and told her a bit of the story and said I wanted to buy it from her. In the meantime Uncle Brett was able to find one somehow and Gus 2.0 appeared on our doorstep Sunday morning. Jody caught it in time to remove the collar just in case PJ would notice it wasn't the same. Then today I got a Ebay notice from the seller that they had another one and I bought it too. This afternoon Jody brought home the original Gus 1.0 - evidently our daycare provider didn't look very hard. Gus 3.0 will be in the mail shortly and he will live in the closet with whichever Gus is waiting to be Gus while the other is getting washed. If all goes well, I will sell Gus 3.0 on Ebay in a few years (he still has his collar) and I will get enough money to pay for PJ's college...ha ha. If you ever read this PJ, we're sorry we misled you, but someday if you're a parent you'll understand.
PS powerpuff girl emailed me just now (via Ebay) and said she was sorry but her daughter lost hers when her deadbeat dad gave it to his dog...and it was going to be a surprise for her birthday in two weeks.
All is well in the land of the powerpuff girl and The Hunter/Jacksons' 3 Gus.
