Sugar's Jug Band

Stan and I kept hearing all about how Sugar loved Milk Jugs so we thought we would give it a try and here's what happened:

Toys I will Not Share

Momma just informed me that in around 9 months or so I may have to share my toys with someone else. These are off-limits:

1. Chew Lotta- This is my pink long doggie toy and it is my favorite. Chewie was a gift from Stan's Mommy

2. Mr. Monk- He is my chipmunk and even though sometimes we fight & I growl at him I don't want any other paws on him. He was a birthday present from my birthday this year

3. Aflac- I know he can be really mouthy but I love to carry Aflac around and here him say his name over an over again. (He used to be a doctor but I have slowly take off all his clothes--now he is a naked duck)

4. My Squeeky Soccerball-I love when my Momma & Daddy throw this & I don't need any competition getting to that ball!

Sheer Me Up

This morning we dropped Sugar off at Coventry to go to Day Camp and get a haircut. We know she had a blast because she is all worn out now.
