Code of the West

There are rules about watching your back in the country. If you, for example, happen to leave your, um, Puplin unattended, things can happen.

Beloved Puplin, purchased at Garden's Edge many years ago, has a history of straying. He has, for example, been left in a hotel in Springfield, MO. Most recently, Puplin was left in Austin, where Dad kindly mailed him back. But if someone opens the mail while you're not home, liberties can be taken.

Here's Puplin at Truman Capote's Black and White Ball:
Very nice. Looks better than Katherine Graham did, don't you think?

Now here's Puplin being eaten by a unicorn. Ouch!

Here's Puplin, getting ready to go to therapy before Lydia comes home.
The Code of the West requires that people occasionally will tease and be teased back. If you are teased too intensively, the correct response is, "You're an Eskimo Pie-head, Uncle Michael."
There you go, partner.

  2. Ah, Puplin. He inspires such devotion, but I will never, ever in my life forget the prolonged and agonized screaming that followed the leaving behind of Pink Rabbit when Lydia was 5. So I ask you, Cranky Girls, whatever happened to Pink Rabbit? Where is he now?
