When I went to that flea market, my dad had just died. He died in 97 so I think it was in 98, so that would make Stubby about 5 years old. I am just wondering what would have happened to Stubby if I had not went back for him.

What would the man have done with him? I have always felt like Stubby picked us to go home with. It was a really terrible time in my life, my dad had died on June 9th, 1997, and we were at the flea market during cool weather. I myself am glad I took Stubby home with me. So that would make Stubby five or six years old! I have been thinking he is only four!

This flea market had dogs on one side of the highway and chicken, ducks and other feathered animals on the other side of the road. Stubby was with the chickens. There was no water or food in his cage. I just feel like he was meant to come home with me, he chose us.

I usually love going to flea markets looking for old dolls. I love old dolls, and collect them. So I really enjoy going to flea markets for that reason. When I went to that flea market all I was looking for was dolls. Well I found Stubby instead of the doll I have been looking for so many years.
