Does the dog come with the chair?

There's a crazy little thrift store around the corner from house.  It operates during off hours and always has random but interesting stuff sitting outside.  So this Sunday, I passed and my eye caught a white and red wingback chair sitting in front, so I swerve my car over and hop out.  What I didn't see was a grey pitbull sitting in front of guarding the chair.

I proceeded slowly...very slowly.  I couldn't tell if he was emotionally attached to the chair but I dare not touch it so I sat next to it on a short concrete wall/flowerbed.

He walked over to me and started sniffing my pants.  I figured he must've been smelling my dog, Boudreaux.  His head was massive!  Completely massive but he had soft amber eyes and overall he was just a beautiful dog. 

We became friends.

Eventually I ventured inside and eventually someone came out from the back.  The owner's name is Carl and he was hoot.  After telling me he was closed that day, he asked if I wanted to buy anything.  I told him I was interested in the chair out front.  He said, "Me too, but I'll sell it."

After giving him the side-eye for a minute, we talked about alot of other things.  He said he collects things from houses he works on...he owns a "construction company"...of sorts.

I asked him if the dog came with the chair, he said no but it could be arranged.

Side-eye again.

I began to take pictures of the chair and the dog whose name is Blue/Happy would not budge and who was I to give him a nudge, so I just had to incorporate him in the shot.  Carl said the dog was "Blue" when he got him but now he's "Happy" to be there.

He was some handsome...the dog that is.  Carl had a cigarette pretty much fused to his bottom lip and it didn't matter what vowel came out his mouth, that cigarette stayed in place... and he sat with his legs crossed. Old school.

I'll probably go back for the chair.

WDYT?
