I’ve been there before, but I realized that I should take pictures and share the awe I feel when I go by.

Found at Shady Lane Antique Mall just south of Terre Haute, Indiana

    I’m not acting obtuse. I don’t see the difference between childhood nostalgia for a dog and childhood nostalgia for a toy. What’s the difference?

        You mean other than all the movies, TV shows and even commercials that show people with loving dogs?

        Yes, I did grow up with Lassie and Benji and I remember marketing campaigns for movies for both.

          I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

          I have neither the time nor the crayons for this.

            I don’t believe you can. You said:

            Did a marketing campaign manufacture your desire for a dog?

            And I gave you specific examples of that very thing.
