I returned from class to find a message on my answering machine… a woman from Florida says she’d be willing to pay “anything” for one of my remaining Gund Rainbow Hectors. I am always willing to help out a fellow devotee, but I wish she handn’t told me she wanted to buy it for her dog! More specifically, her blind dog (who follows the jingling sound it makes when it bounces). I have seven Rainbow Hectors here in my office, including two still sealed in their shipping bags. Assuming that I do sell her one of them, how do I choose? Would I rather a hectopus stay in my office safe from harm, or get slobbered and loved (possibly to pieces)? Perhaps I need to get out more…
