    Just when you think you know your dog....

    It changes in a blink of an eye.

    Around 1996 my grandmother sent me a birthday gift, a soft white big teddy bear with a check taped in it's arms. Shortly after that she passed and sense then that teddy bear has meant the world to me. It has always sat on the floor of my room, on a little bench. Over the years it's not as white as it use to be and age has shown, but I still love that teddy, it's the last gift she ever she sent me.

    There's a reason I told this story......Brandy who has never had interest in toys decided today, to change her years of ways. ...
    ....
    ....
    .......





    She now has claimed the teddy as her own.


    In the blink of an eye, Brandy has become a Toy dog. Problem is, it's my toy, not the dogs toys. She carried that teddy bear off it's bench and into the other room, thinking she was hiding it from me. She knows, that's mommy's toy.

    Well, she tried. I'm sure she'd be willing to
    share it with you. Have you tried giving
    her a smaller version of your big bear?
    She'd probably give you the smaller one, huh?

    You see those other toys, in the background, those are just some of the toys I gave her, that was my attempt to swap with her. Ha, that was a joke, she is now sleeping on the teddy bear.

    That is so cute. I'm sure you don't mind letting Brandy borrow it. When I was first reading it, I was picturing a shredded bear So, I'm glad that's not the case. Those are some cute pics.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Give her time, it's only been a day. That's a big bear for a little thing like her, this could be a long slow death.


    of course as soon as she walks away from it, it's mine again. hehe.

    Oh Dear!

    I have some bears that are MINE MINE MINE.
    But I know, one day Captain will decide (because he LOVES BEARS), that they should belong to him, and take them down, one by one.

    Good Luck!!
    M!

    You are lucky the bear lasted as long as it did!! I "used" to have my own special bears but that didn't last long...
    As soon as Duncan felt that I was "ignoring" him (on the computer, sleeping, using the facilities...) he claimed them...even going so far as to drag them off shelves almost 6 feet high!!!

    Oh no! Brandy, you silly girl! That is mommy's, not yours!

    I hope that you can find a way to get your big bear back...I'm sure that Brandy is just jealous!!!!
