Puppy

Alea has a new favorite toy. She has adopted my favorite toy from childhood as her own. My "Puppy" was my best friend from the time I got him when I was 2 years old until...okay, he is still my BFF! :) Alea has taken him (now a her) on as her own. My only problem is that it doesn't bother her to throw him across the room, drop him from heights, and throw him in the washing machine. I try not to let her see that those actions hurt my heart. If you ever had a stuffed animal as a best friend you know how it is...he is "REAL" and those things hurt him. Well, at least they hurt me to watch. Puppy has a new lifestyle now as he often is found wearing barretts and necklaces. I know that Puppy is just happy to be loved by a sweet little girl again.
