This little guy made fast friends with my son...he's all of 6 inches big and easy for Owen to cuddle. His name is "dog". We took dog with us to youth camp a couple of weeks ago and since then he is all Owen asks for. On monday...Owen brought dog over to Elijah's house to play and somehow he got away. I didn't think it was too big of a deal until bedtime when Owen was looking for dog. He was so sad and it made me sad too. You see, dog was given to Owen 2 years ago. And there is no chance that Target will sell the same exact blue puppy for $5.99 that they sold 2 years ago. So I ventured online in hopes of finding "dog 2". Well, I sure did...do you know how much this little sucker markets for these days? $20 - $30...yes that's a hefty mark up. I'm definitely in the wrong proffession. I'm just going to buy up all the soft little stuffed animals and in a couple of years put them on Ebay for desperate parents to find. Not only that, they have an entire website designed to help you find lost lovie's to replace. I'm really glad that Owen didn't become attached to this other little blanket/puppy that my mom gave him...it was selling for $40. I think I'm going to buy a "dog 3" & "dog 4" because I'm sure the price will go up as it becomes older.

that website is an adorable idea! such a precious story. and i cant believe Kyle really brought his blanket into your bed- priceless ;)
At least the dog has an option of having a backup... my kids each have their handmade blankets (D and Stinky D, I think you've heard of them) and when those are gone, heaven forbid, they're gone baby. The woman who makes them is a family friend and she tried to make a backup for Addison's, which Addison loved so much that now she has to have D and New D. Troy has one two and I'm thinking about cutting into a few different pieces so if anything happens to one piece I can just pull out another. Whew, that was a long comment. So sorry. Have fun with Owen and dog!
Sorry about the grammatical errors... too, not two, there should be an "it" in front of into. Grammar isn't my strongest subject. :-)
Have you read any of my comments? I have no place being a grammar judge! I even spelled grammar wrong before I looked at your comment, Sarah, and quickly corrected.
geez what a rip off! I had (and still have) my puppy! I was so creative with a name but hey what do you expect from a 3 year old. Tim still has his blankie too. I don't sleep with puppy anymore.....I don't sleep really anymore :) I think that is such a great parent to respect that you're little guy wants his buddy and that Dog makes him feel secure.
