Flashback Friday

Holy Guacamole! 
There sure are alot of "remember whens" to remember! Some days it feels like we just opened Durango Toy Depot yesterday, and other days it seems as though we've been here for 20 years. 
Today is just a warm-fuzzy kinda remembering when. 
We love our toys, we love to take care of them, and we love it when they come alive and run all over the store at night when no one is looking.
Sometimes though we have to call the Doctor...
Calling the Doctor is, within itself, always a tough call. Really, you never like to see anyone get hurt and we have learned Not to ask how the injury happened. On the other hand, if our little friend decides to tell us the story, well, that's another story!
We make sure we always have enough gauze in our well laid out first aid kit because gauze is like a bandaid, when you sit the little fellers done to apply the bandage, they know they are on their way to a speedy recovery! It doesn't even matter what the size of the wound is either, it's just like magic.
The hardest part is keeping the little critters quiet and resting until the Doctor comes to pick them up to take to her office! It is not an easy task when one has to be isolated from everyone else, it is not an easy task to have them play quietly in the office when they can hear the voices of children in the other parts of the store. It is not an easy task to decide if one needs a doctor, a surgeon, or a petranarian! We strive to make the best decision for all concerned.
Once the little fellas have received their note "to return to play" we get to remove the bandages, spout out a few reminders, then watch them skip through the store and return to their friends!
