Searching, Searching, Searching.....

I've talked about my silly pooch and her "girl" before.....but I dawned on me that I could appeal to all of you fabulous girlies out there to help me in my mission....

So, here's the story.

See that nice, fresh kid's stuffed animal there? It's CLEAN and CUTE?? Well, five years ago I bought this little cutie at Marshall's for my pup when she was just a new little cutie herself. Well, she liked it. She REALLY liked it. I don't know if she was taken from her mummy too soon or what, but this little cutie became her Binky.

She LOVES it. It's her MUMMY. So, after five years with her little gal....it's DISGUSTING. You know, sometimes little kids will have their Binky and the Mommy doesn't really want it to be seen in public anymore because it's so icky? Yeah.....well........

Ummm hmmmm......that would be my goofy puppy, not far from her "girl".....isn't it icky? Hey, don't say "why doesn't that woman give that "girl" a wash......I HAVE!!! It's just shot. See how it looks NOTHING like the cute, fresh bunny? Ruby's girl has no ears left! I've tried MANY other stuffed animals........she has them torn apart in about 20 seconds.

Sooooooooo..........here's my thought.....maybe some sweet gal out there has one of these.......maybe even all battered in their kid's toy box that they'd be ready to be rid of? That would be sooooooooooo wonderful for my Ruby. She'd be so happy!

This little gal is called Duffles by Baby Gund. I have found them on eBay, but by the time I pay shipping it was nearly thirty dollars........THIRTY dollars!!!! YIKES! Not that my little Ruby Mae PetuniaBelle's not worth THIRTY dollars, but what if she just doesn't "take" to the new "girl"...??? I'm a THRIFTY girl here......It's just not in me to spend THIRTY dollars on a risky venture. :-)

I hate to pitch the darn thing.........I'm so embarrassed when people actually SEE this darn thing.............and every single time I fire up the vacuum she runs and gets her girl......I don't know if I could ever vacuum again???!!...........Oh........silly me! That could be a GOOD thing!

So wonderful girlies........any Duffles out there???

You're the best!

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Blessing you!!!

Ok......I Confess......My Pup Is A Knothead!

Isn't she just the cutest little thing? We tell her she needs a Dog-O-Thontist........her little teeth are a bit crooked.......she has an underbite and she's really crazy. We think she may need some counseling too. :-) We love her though and wouldn't trade her for anything. She stands and stares at the back door at the same time every single day, waiting for my husband to come home.

She loves basking in the sun. Here, in the Pacific Northwest, that's not always an easy thing to do, but if she can find a little spot, she's going to claim it. We call this look LaLa land.....she won't even look at us when we talk to her. She does the same thing at night when she's ready for bed. I'm tellin' you........she's something else!

Basking..............basking...............

This would be why she needs a counselor. Please somebody.....tell me your dog does this too???

When we brought little Ruby Mae PetuniaBelle home......hmmmmmmmm........just thinking, could it be her name that causes her to seek a comforter? ......anyway, I bought two Baby Gund "Duffles" bunnies. I gave one to Little Ruby along with lots of other toys. She LOVED it.......and then.............she started using it as her "binky"........ewwwwwwwww.......it got so nasty that I got out the other one and threw #1 away. Well, Little Ruby's nearly five now and she still has the darn thing. I sure wish I hadn't thrown away the first one. It would have to be in better condition than this one. I've looked and looked for a replacement, but she chews them up instantly. She does shake this one up sometimes, but always knows exactly where it is, especially when I start the vacuum. She runs for it right away and comes running with it. It's just crazy. I did find another one on eBay some time ago, but it was THIRTY dollars with shipping.......come on.......I don't think I really want to invest that kind of money just in case she doesn't recognize the new one as her "girl". I've looked at the Goodwill every single time I go for the past couple of years to no avail. I don't know what we'll do when this one is totally gone........

My dog loves her "GIRL".

Hoping that someone else has a neurotic dog too?? Please, please, please?? :-)

Warm doggie hugs!
