Count Snerk D'Fur

I suppose NOW I should explain Count Snerk D'Fur.

I wanted to get my friend Barking Shark (Amy) a very special xmas present. I look at Kohls. I looked at JCPenney's. I looked at Nordstrom. I looked at Herzberg Diamonds.

Nothing.

So I looked at Target. I looked at Walmart. I looked at K-Mart. I looked at my local grocery store.

Still nothing.

I looked at the Dollar Store.

Still nothing.

I headed to Goodwill. He had dirt between his toes. He has big buggy eyes. He has long ears - long nose - long tongue sticking out. He has a hole in his butt.

IT WAS HER VERY OWN TROLL.

I had to have it.

I went up to the counter cackling like a mad woman and asked the clerk if he would take $1.00 for it. He looked at me and said "Lady its so ugly no one else is gonna buy it - sure if you want it for a dollar you can have it."

During the week he sat by my computer, I fell in love with him. But sadly, he was not for me.

He now lives with Amy and wears her thongs when she isn't home.

But Count Snerk D'Fur will always carry my DNA in his butt. (Yes, Amy - I blew him a kiss after he was packed in the box - it was the only thing sticking up so what can I say).

You should have seen the clerks face when a week later I found Jenn's Christmas gift. $1.00 and Goodwill = EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS GIFTS for your friends.
