This is Pokey. You may remember Pokey as Gumby's best friend. You also may remember Pokey if you have ever met me, because, as it turns out, we are the same being. I have many Gumbys in my life, according to this description, and the little, bendy Pokey pictured above was a Christmas gift from Kelsey Roommate after I made her watch a few episodes of Gumby with me on YouTube (all of that emotional investment happened in a matter of minutes, because apparently all Gumby episodes were only five minutes long).
However, I scored a new job a few weeks ago walking two dogs for a lady in the neighborhood, because apparently working at a hardware store isn't the only place that will hire me with a complete lack of qualification. And these dogs? These big dogs called Franklin and Bogey (!!!)? They are muffins. And they make me think that, probably, at some, soonish point in my life, I would like to have an animal to keep this bendy Pokey company. A breathing, eating, bag-on-walks-needing, four-legged animal to be friends with bendy Pokey without eating him.

If you get a dog, you can name it Gumby. And then it will take you on adventures. Or you can call it "Sandwich," as a nod to its pet predecessor, Ham.
pokey.
