Lily and Spot










Lily has always been fond of her doggy. Her pink and white stuffed doggy, that is. She has slept with it every night since she got it over two years ago. But recently the dog has moved up from sleepmate to best friend. She likes her pink bear too, but not as much as the dog. The bear is cool, cuz he's dog's friend -- she'll put their faces together and have them kiss, but she says the bear belongs to mommy.

OK, so back to the dog.

She has given him a name. Spot. OK, not real creative or original -- but it suits him just fine.

She takes him EVERYWHERE with her. I now have to launder him weekly, cuz she can't stand it when he's all dirty. But, that's what happens when he plays at the park.

I have caught her cradling him in her arms while singing "Rockabye Baby" and setting him on the chair at night. (this one I have GOT to catch on video)!

He apparently has magical powers...with just one touch of his paw all boo-boos disappear.

She will let others look at, pet, and hold (briefly) her precious dog, but then you'd best be giving him back to her or she'll get MIGHTY upset.

I think it is so cute to see the two of them together. It's a special friendship that will last a lifetime...(to ensure that he lasts a lifetime, I am on the lookout for his "twin" to use as a back up).
*Haven't heard anything from Jay's doc yet. Should hear tomorrow, but my mind is at ease. I have diagnosed him with "cluster headaches"...
*I will still be checking my last post for any questions that anyone might have for me*

My girls have a pinky pig and an elephant named BaBa, we know the importance of their friendships.
Prayers for Jay.

A little word of advice....if you know where "Spot" came from, you should buy another one. Or two. Or twenty. Saves you a LOT of headaches when you leave one of them somewhere.....BTDT. (waaaay too many times.) LOL!

I had 2 stuffed bears (one was a Pooh) that I dragged everywhere with me. At 11 they even had their own version of the evening news. What I'd give to still have those bears!! Love her doggy. Definitely keep it forever!

Verna said...

I think I need to get a twin for Murphy too. Maybe if I look at his tag and search the net. The only thing I'm afraid of is that she will have to have them BOTH there at all times. A replacement for pink cloth would be nice too but that is another story . . .

Elizabeth said...

My boy has a lovey too. It's a baby blanket and he calls it BooBoo. It has magical powers to heal as well and recently he has started talking to it and telling me it's responces too. Very sweet, huh? he used to suck on it when he was smaller and it needed frequent washing then.

Mommy Spice said...

Those stuffed animals are the best. Spicy Girl was very attached to a frog she named Reece for about 2 years; now it's a panda named Alicia. I'm going to put Reece in her keepsake box. Is Lily in to dolls at all? S.G. is not at all, just her stuffies.

Lauren said...

Too cute! Jay will be in my prayers!

Nikki said...

Mommy Spice,
Lily isn't interested in dolls at all right now either. Just Spot and her green blankie.

Olivia said...

*we're still praying for Jay!
God Bless & Good Luck!

Sophie's Mom said...

Awe... that's so sweet! Post a really good picture of him with details (brand) and we all could keep an eye out for you!

Anne Marie said...

Heehee...I think you might need to look for triplets just in case!
