Getting Pheobe was kinda of a rebound thing for my parents back in 2001 when our Dino died because of internal haemorrhage after he swallowed some plasticware. For weeks my parents, my dad especially wasn't quite himself... then one fine day... I remember it was in March... my uncle called to say that he spotted a litter of dachshunds in a pet shop somewhere in the city... my parents just dropped everything they were doing, packed me into the car and drove to the shop to "just have a look" of the puppies... Only 2 puppies were left when we got there, one black and the other Pheobe. My mum picked up the black puppy because she thought my dad would loved another Dino (who was a black dachshund mix)... but my dad took one look of the sleepy brown furry worm at the corner of the cage and asked my mum, "How much cash do you have with you?"The rest you can guess.
What a great Valentine story. :)
