Flying monkey

Bella has a toy that is a flying monkey. The first one was a gift from Kari from back in the days when Bella lived in my car in the EB parking lot. Bri and Kari had bought it at a gas station and for whatever reason this toy became one of her favorites. Its days ended in Seattle when she almost got to the part that houses the electronics that make it scream when you throw it. Here in DC I found her a new one at Bed Bath and Beyond, that is really beyond if you ask me but she was very glad to have it. She has proceeded to chew the face off and now it smells bad so she is due for a new one. I picked one up on Friday while at the B B &B and carried it and the other things I had bought out to the car where Bella was waiting for me. Now that it is colder I take her along as my sidekick so she does not cry in her kennel at home. I left the bag in the car to go run other errands and came back to the car to find Bella and the new monkey laying in the drivers seat. BAD DOG. How did she know that was in there, what must it smell like to her that she can sniff it out like that, and what a weird obsession she has with the flying monkey. The rest of the drive I had to keep pushing her head away from the bag as she was trying to get it back out, she knows it is for her. Now you probably think I am mean and why not let her have it. Well I have my reasons. When we go to Hawaii at the end of the month our friend Isaac is staying with Bella for us so I bought it for HIM to give to her while we are gone so she thinks he is a cool guy and associates him with the arrival of the new monkey. So there.
