Missed opportunity

I almost bought this dog in a garage sale in Campbell River. He was huge, floppy, soft and smiling, and fresh out of the washer and dryer. Three bucks, they wanted.

Take me with you! I don't bark!

I bought a red and blue throw to substitute for the one I forgot to pack. The happy doggy stayed where I found him.

I should have gone with my whim. Claimed I was buying him for the grandkids, or something.
