It just doesn’t end.

The “Love Puppy” Webkinz has been the most recent pet my little sister has had her eye on been coveting.

The love puppy is a dog shaped toy with little hearts all over it’s body. Even I’ll (grudgingly) admit, it is cute. There is also a Love Monkey and a Love Frog, both of which were easily located at Value Village. Believe it or not, both the kids hated the Love Frog at first. “It’s so ugly! I could never love a love frog. I’d make him sleep all by himself and not with the other Webkinz on the shelf,” explained my little sister, backed up with “Yeah!” from our brother.

Until I started calling it “Francois” and talking with a french accent. “Bonjour! I am the Looooove Frog! Oui oui!”

Now they love their love frog, who is in fact, named Francois.

But their collection is (never) not complete without the elusive Love Puppy. And no wonder why – these things run into the $100’s or higher on ebay!

She spends her spare moments when NOT on Webkinz to search ebay high and low for an affordable toy. With or without the code, or even just the code, she doesn’t care. So long as it’s a love puppy.

So what do I get in my email today but a note from my dad that once again they were in cahoots together and they bought a love puppy for $30.00 (American, I might add) from ebay. She won the auction with $30.00 highest bid with only 3 minutes to go but shipping to Canada isn’t specified. So… could we ship it to Tommy’s mom’s house?

And… they need my credit card.
