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*
