Penny & Howard- A Love Story

Dog toys have come, and dog toys have gone.

Most make it a couple of weeks before their ceremonial disemboweling occurs, spilling a trail of polyester fiberfill behind their sad, empty pelt.

And then there's Howard.  Oh, Howard.

 

Since the day we brought him home, we knew he held a special place in the hierarchy of the stuffed animal kingdom.

Don't expect to see Penny come out of the bedroom in the morning without Howard in tow.

After all, a girl's gotta make sure her duck is getting his fresh air for the day.

If it's a really good day, he'll get buried,

 only to be unearthed a few hours later,

and used as a prop.

He'll take an evening trip through the washer,

 

 

so he can be returned, nice and clean, just in time for bed.

Yours truly-
