"Up and down those aisles all day. It's so nice to get a chance to lie down and take a load off my aching wheels. Good night dear. I'll turn the light off and join you just as soon as I see Petrea's Olympics commercial. Hope it comes on soon. I've already downed one cup of coffee trying to stay awake. Zzzzzz."
Trollycide! Sad but it happens. How we abaondon the old and unwanted, just beacause their left wheel no longer functions properly. They shoot horses don't they?
