The other day I had running to do on both sides of town, or rather on two of our four sides of town. I had told Abby during the week that we ought to go to Build-A-Bear and make you that $10 dog. Then on the day that I had several places I decided to stop and get the dog. We took 15 minutes and made the dog. We tried to find an outfit for him or at least a hat but I had a hard time spending more for little scraps of clothes than for the dog. So after they put a bow on his neck that stayed until we got in the car and the two bows on his ears, we were off again. I did my running, got lost and everywhere we went, the dog went. We decided to name him buddy because that's what she thinks other dogs' names are! Later that day we stopped and got a snack of French Fries from McDonalds, before she could eat her fries, she would first feed them to "Buddy". That dog of hers has been with her ever since then. She sleeps with him. When she wakes up it doesn't take her long to go looking for him. She plays with him. When she sings "The Wheels on the Bus" she takes his hands and does the movements with him. She brushes his teeth when she brushes hers. She puts him on the potty. She reads to him. If I had known she was going to love him that much I would have taken pictures of us making him but some things are better just being remembered. It is amazing to me how quickly she got attached to that dog. I don't know if it will last, it might just be "puppy love". Yesterday she wanted to take her dog to church and I told her that was fine because we usually get there about 4 and then have choir practices until 5:40 and prayer meeting and then church but I told her if she wasn't going to share him she had to put him in daddy's office. So Buddy waited out church for her in Daddy's office and she was glad to get him back afterwards. She is such a precious little girl!
