While we were up in Chicago, Eric and I (with the help of my dad) sorted through several rooms of stuff to either throw out or donate. For some reason I still had a few stuffed animals left in my closet and we gave one to Riesling to keep her occupied while we were cleaning.

She took to it right away and my dad made sure we didn’t forget her new buddy when it came time to pack up the car. She is still carrying this tiger around and it’s almost as big as she is!

(She looks so pretty—freshly groomed with a pink bandana!)
