Bree and Mr. Bear in happier times.
My pups might be a little bit spoiled. OK, more like a lot spoiled.
I had made a PetSmart run to get some puptoys for the holidays, and found this old style, super cuddly looking teddy bear.
For Bree, it was love at first sight. She took Mr. Bear everywhere with her- and if she forgot him, she couldn’t settle down and get comfy for a cuddle without her bear. Sometimes she even took this poor little bear outside with her, like he needed walkies or something. Except for a minor incident in which she defurred his butt, making him a bare bear, Bree didn’t seem to have any interest in defacing her little buddy.
Jaina, of course, was super jealous. She has this thing about stitching on toys.. she likes to rip it out. And, sure enough, one day she got ahold of Mr. Bear for just long enough to rip a hole in him.
The stuffing flew.
Mr. Bear minus some important parts… like a face and a leg.
Tomorrow, I’m going to have to throw Mr. Bear away. He’s become Mr. Rag, though Bree still carries him around faithfully and will fetch him in seconds if I ask her were Mr. Bear is. Since he was made by ToysRUs for PetSmart, I’m not too sure there’s a whole lot of them left out there.
The good news is that I know where there are at least two more, and tomorrow, after Mr. Bear the First is laid respectfully to rest, I will introduce Bree to Mr. Bear the Second.
I did say my pups are a little spoiled.
