So this is Coco. She's on her way from Oklahoma. My wife is already buying stuff for her.  |
Corgis were my favorite dog when I was a kid. We didn't know anyone with one but when I'd see one it was a big deal. The reason I liked them so much is because I played with Corgi Toys. Anyone remember those? If it had something to do with cars I loved it! I liked Matchboxes, Dinky Toys, Tootsietoys, but no one had any of those as pets.
I had a baby blue one. My favorite Corgi Toy. Years later, in the early-'80s I bought a real baby blue '63 Riviera. I had it for a while before one day I was up in the attic and came across the box I have what's left of the cars I had as a kid and there was the Riviera. It was then I began to wonder if my attraction to my real Riviera wasn't all about that favorite toy I had. Kind of a reverse realization
(I didn't take that. Sorry Eric)
