Twink, your response is so cute! And not to worry, today was garbage day and Smiley is still in the living room insted of in the recycle bin. I'm planning on stopping at Walgreens tomorrow to ask about re-inflating. That's where I got him so I'm hoping they'll accomodate the reinflation. Maybe if I appeal to their sense of guilt - how can they not help me to rescue him from such a fate as the recycle bin? He's so deserving of a second chance.

You never know though, they may turn the guilt trip around on me and tell me how many homeless smilies there are who would just love to come home with me.....

Oooohhh, such decisions to be made. I think Peanut would like it, though, if Smiley was around for awhile yet. She may ignore him on the surface, but I think deep down she really likes him. Just like Tubby - she hates it when he pesters her, but she'd be lost without him.

Ok, you guys, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
