Elsie and Charlie Brown.
I'm looking for an ID tag to buy online for Elsie. She lost her perfect, pale pink leather, tiny-studded collar with the beautiful seam work and tiniest, but not tinniest, of bells that you could hear but which never annoyed. That one had our home number on it but also the mobile number I don't use, so I don't mind losing that. Also because Todd said it looked like a real teenaged girl style thing - pale pink, blue, silver. Like something you'd get from Rip Curl or Roxy - ick! It was only ever meant to be temporary anyway so no biggie, but the collar...! (Maybe I'll try and conjure the brand name to mind and find one of them online.)
OK, that's just the preamble - orange ewe lucky? Here's the guts: I found this awesome pet ID tag on Etsy. If you know me, you know I'm nuts for Peanuts, and this is just the Charlie Brown T-shirt logo. An orange tag with a thick black zigzag across it. Unfortunately, it's too big at 1.25" which I just eyeb47855 (thanks, Elsie) - which I just eyeballed on my American Presidents ruler :D ... that's 3.25cm. (Bummer.) ANYWAY, I thought it looked too orange in the various pics. Too reddish-orange. Here's one of them:
I don't know if my memory deceives me (it's been so long since I've read a Peanuts comic in colour) or if it's the Schulz and Peanuts book I ordered from Amazon which has a dissatisfyingly über-canary-yellow cover:
Actually, that doesn't look wrong. My book does though. Mine has an almost citrus-y yellow cover. More like the yellow in my "ARRRGGH!" user icon than in that book cover image:
Well, anyway, the tag's too big and now, clearly, too Great Pumpkin orange to look right. Back to the drawing board, Little Miss Elsie.
