Flashback Memory Friday: Clifford the little red dog

Did you ever read the Clifford, The Big Red Dog books as a kid? I always thought it would be wicked cool to have Clifford as my own protector and friend. Can you imagine how comfortable it would be to snuggle with him or ride on his back?! I would have run away from my brother and sister. Latina followed me everywhere and it was so not cool.

I thought it would be a good idea to dye my shih-tzu with a box of red Loreal from the drug store. Turns out it's not the same. Plus, I got reamed out big time. We're talking huge. Also, because it takes a super long time to wash out, I got lectured for weeks.

Stupid Clifford.

I've always hated Clifford.

Even when I was a kid, I hated the improbability of it - a dog would NEVER be that big.

Plus, Clifford's a stupid name. And I wasn't too fond of the name Emily Elizabeth either.

All round suck :)

All I can think of is how disgusting his wet dog smell would be...GAG!!! ;)

Ba ha! It's been so long since I read this, that I read this post again and thought "I should comment on the fact that a dog that small would never grow up to be that big. And also how I hate his name." He he - and then I clicked on the comments, and I'd already done that a month ago.

At least I'm consistent, hey?
