I tried knksmiles method and it seems to have worked. Had a dog, a turtle came up for sale so I bought the turtle but left it in my tool tray. Looked around for my dog - he was nowhere to be found. Waited awhile, looked around for dog again, still couldn't find him. Returned the turtle to the store and got my $500 back. Dog is still gone. Now I'm gonna have to wait for a dog to come for sale again. Oh well, he was shedding all over the place anyway...
