TTFYHO: Beefy
It’s been a while since one of us has found a Thing That Freaks Your Husband Out (TTFYHO). Luckily, I broke that dry spell last Friday. The first house we hit up was the home of a retired party store owner, so there was a lot of “party paraphernalia” there. One of these pieces was Beefy:
Beefy is in inflatable dog, flexing his muscles and licking his lips. He cost $1. I know nothing else about him. When I found him, I was delighted. I immediately called Erin into the room and she snapped this picture. Even though I look pale and sickly, I’m willing to share this picture as proof of my delight:
Now, not only did we find this one Beefy, but we found two others that were identical and not inflated.
Of course, I bought all three–Christmas is coming! Duh!
Just like there were three Beefys, there were three best parts of this find:
- Actually finding Beefy, which we’ve covered.
- Going to Target the next day with Adam, forgetting Beefy was in the hatch, and watching his reaction when he went to put our bags in the back of the car.
- Finding this picture of Beefy a few days later:
I had also (obviously) found some old family photos at this sale. I shoved them all in a box and had the chance to start looking through them the other night. Adam was working late, and when he got home, I was so excited to show him this picture. Not only is Beefy taking a ride on that trailer, but a real dog is too!

Update from Erin: Sarah’s nickname in high school was “Beefy.”
Also, that real dog riding on the trailer is so Romney-esque, I lol’d. Did this dog ride like that for 12 hours too?
