REGIFT SOMETHING COOL

My new neighbors have a wiener dog named “Stella” who is adorable and often adorned in tasteful outfits. The metal sign in their front yard warns passersby of the Attack Dachshund on property. If you are a Modern Family fan, you will appreciate their name selection. Check out one of my favorite scenes here. Usually when I hear someone yell “Stella,” I think they are looking for a beer!

Years ago, my mother gave me a very heavy footlong wiener dog statue and requested that I keep it in lieu of getting another live animal. I accepted, but found it rather difficult when it came to snuggling with it. Instead, it collected dust on my living room floor and ultimately made its way to the garage after my last move. I decided that it would get much more love from Stella and her handlers. I dropped it off at their front door, without a note or ribbon. A re-gifted pet anonymously donated in a Moses-like fashion guarded the door until they got home. They are probably wondering who gave them such a cool Stella replica but that will forever remain a secret. For now, I have my real (snoring and farting) bulldog to keep me warm…
