This is What Happens When Toys R Us, Best Buy, and PetSmart are Right Next to Each Other
June 22, 2006
…You come home with this:
Meet Count Cadifor Ionnain Fishy-Fish
It’s actually rather difficult to get the top open unless you have opposable thumbs, so I wish her the best of luck with that.
Total adoption cost: $15.00
Keeping us the heck out of TRU: SO PRICELESS
The name comes from me and the boys. It breaks down like this:
Count = Because everyone should have a title, don’t you think?
Cadifor = Gaelic for Battle Lord. He’s a boy, and he tried to attack my fingers when we lifted up the cup. We like our fish feisty.
Ionnain = Gaelic for Adopted Son. We thought it was fitting.
Fishy-Fish = Well, it’s kind of obvious, and Scamp’s contribution. We hyphenated it because it seems that a lot of royals do that to their last name, and we wanted the full royal treatment.
He’s settling in very nicely. Hopefully he likes it in our little casa.
For the record, the original plan was to only go to Best Buy to pick up something we DESPERATELY needed, and is now charging as I type. But you know, the best laid plans go to heck when there is a Toys R Us near. Fortunately, the Count helped us resist the pull…
…But only barely.
