*****I just remembered that we’ll be SUPER-busy this week with a vacation to visit family in Laurel (Mississippi)…so, you get TWO posts tonight to hold you over. ***
Oh….the drama in our house this weekend! Allie has suddenly become very “possessive” of her toys….and, as a result, she and Nutmeg tend to get into quite a few fights. As evidence….lets review the “battle of the stuffed dog”.
.

.
This is a dog that Allie got a Build-a-Bear. Actually, it was the FIRST toy that she ever picked out at Build-a-bear. So, she’s pretty in love with it. It even barks when you squeeze it’s paw. Thing is….Nutmeg went the first 5 years of her life with the understanding that any stuffed toys that make noise are automatically CHEW TOYS. So, the dog seems to be having a hard time separating HER toys from ALLIE’s toys….notice her sneaking up on the stuffed dog in the left hand corner of this picture…
.

.
Once Nutmeg starts “playing” with the stuffed dog…making it bark….and going for it’s jugular….Allie notices and FREAKS out. She will immediatly go over to the dog to put a stop to the “attack”.
.

.
This tends to turn into a full-blown battle….
.

.
Nutmeg usually comes out victorious in these battles, since she is stronger than Allie….
.

.
After crying her head off for a while, Allie will whimper next to Nutmeg until either Brad or I save her toy from the dog….
.

.
Then, Allie will love on her stuffed dog for a grand total of 30 SECONDS before losing interest until Nutmeg tries to get it again.
.

.
Really, though….can we really BLAME Nutmeg for this situation? She’s really just copying what Allie does…
.

.
Yup, that’s our Nutmeg….the little baby-copy-cat puppy!!
