Guest photographer: Brinley--And more than you ever wanted to know about a stuffed puppy.

Very random pictures, right? This is what is found on the camera after you give it to the 4 year old.

I do need to give you a little story about the white stuffed puppy. This is Brin's best puppy. She has many, but this is the one that gets all the love. Most days it's named Allie The Dog and other days it's named something I can't pronounce(Brin's special language). She got this dog a while back on a random trip to the mall. Last December we went to Salt Lake for Marty's brother Nick's wedding. Of course we brought the puppy. After our long drive we settled in at Marty's Dad's house and we couldn't find the puppy. I thought it was just lost in the car (you should see the inside of our car after we've driven 7 hours!) and we would just find it in the morning when it was light. The next day we didn't find it and came to realize we had left it in the bathroom at a gas station in St. George. Brin was sad, but we had told her we would call and see if it was turned in, etc. After we called information a million times trying to get the phone number of the right gas station, no luck. It had not been seen. One last check on our way back home also proved disappointing. I felt bad because it was her favorite puppy. So, I got online when we got home and found the same puppy. I ordered it and when it arrived I told Brin that someone had found her puppy and sent it back to her. She believed me, but being a smart kid, asked why it was so fluffy and white. I just told her that they must have given it a bath. She has been fine with that story and to this day hauls that puppy around.

You think that was a crazy stuffed puppy story? Just wait until you hear the story of the pink stuffed puppy...it's even more amazing. :) I will save that one for another time.
