Christmas Junk #7- Broke Dog

100_3922.JPGMr. Fat Hanz again, with a guest starring appearance in this, the first post of 2016. I now understand why some of the blogs I read say "two week break" for the Christmas and New Years weeks. I only got one post in, otherwise I was busy or not near my computer. So, despite the plenty of pics I shot with all of my Christmas crap, this one will be the last of this series. (Aha, but wait for X-Mas In July Mattress sales. *barf*)

100_3924.JPGBeing it was the Christmas holiday spending season, I thought since we're now in the credit card bills season, I'd call this a broke dog post. Get it? Bwaaaa Haaaaa. Haaaaa. I'll recover at tax time right? I was out an about a few years ago and went into one of those pop up Christmas stores looking for some gifts for those I hate. (Oh come on. Who wouldn't want a hand made wooden YULE toilet seat cover so friends that come over and get drunk during your New Years festivities have a nice rug to "miss" on or fornicate with right? Maybe even toss a Buffalo wing up on, only to be there two years later.) I found this little doggie on wheels and I thought "awwwwwww" and decided to buy buy buy. It's an antique style decoration of an antique toy a kid might have had in the olden days. It's head was on a spring so it was a bobble head doggie classic toy decoration made from fine bevelled plastic solids. I started taking it from their display Charlie Brown Christmas tree and "KAPOW". (No it didn't somehow get super powers, that would be SHAZZAM.)

100_3923.JPGThanks again Mr. Fat Hanz (TM) You took a BITE out of plastic. Turns out, it's a ceramic like a Pyrex dish. It was heavy and when I took it from the tree, it slipped and it's neck broke. The damage was only to one side and nothing else got broken, but the pieces of it were so small that I could only find a few. Now, what's a shmoe like me to do? It was the only one left. I wanted it. Just report that I broke it only to have the non cheery cashier in the cheer store say "don't worry about it" and I'd be off? Then the doggie would not have a history of laying in a box only to come out for a month and hang from a tree all for the joy of only one. No, this one would have been destined for the bin. Crushed and in a landfill. Makes one cry. (Snoopy: Wahhhhhhhhhh)

There we go. The business end. Made in China. I guess this could have been a classic toy for kids. The wheels do roll. They are wide. I wonder what kind of toy this was? Maybe a late model Fluffy? A Woofmaster? A Schwog?  Yeah, there was nothing doggy that I could think of for Schwinn. 

100_3927.JPG Awww, look at that doggie smile. Shut up. It's keyoooote. Bloggers are allowed to have some keyooote things on their blogs. Junk blogs with sheepdogs at the head can't be all about football and beer and assorted cameras. Gotta be some keyoooote sometime?

P.S. The little dinky piece of snot hanging off of this broke dog is a tiny Santa. I don't know why it's hanging from this broke dog. Maybe it's a Pyrex flea. It's come to suck your Pyrex.
