Meet Buddy

This is Buddy.
He will turn 8 this year in July.
Given by Meema and Papa for Ivan's first birthday.
Appropriately named by Hannah.
Loved to bits by Ivan.

Well, he's not been loved to bits yet, but I noticed yesterday, as his neck hung limply over the back of the chair, that he is well on his way. When at home, Ivan is not often without Buddy. He's big enough to be an extra pillow while watching a movie, but small enough to be carted around without much effort. As you can see, it was love at first bite...I mean sight.
