Some help with object issues?

[Abronsyth]

Wow, another issue! Surprise!

Okay, I'll cut to the chase, I am having issues with this line;

PHP Code:

$bg = $mysidia->db->select("owned_adoptables", array("adoptbackground"), "aid" = '{$adopt->aid}')->fetchObject(); 


I'm trying to select the data listed in owned_adoptables under adoptbackground

I am getting this error when I try to call it:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in .../public_html/view/myadoptsview.php on line 312

Could someone possibly point out my error?
(For reference, I am making a new function on the myadopts/manage page to remove an item (background) from an adoptable. It needs to distinguish between whether or not the adoptable has a background already so that it doesn't give them an item they don't have).
