We have a dog named Nikkie and she is my MIL’s dog. She is very prissy and doesn’t like anybody touching his leg or nails. The baby loves her so much, keeps wanting to play chase with her but she ignores Kaitlyn. Even though she is being ignored Kaitlyn still loves kissing and giving her loving but she would cry out. Anyway, Nikkie happen to have an Elmo toy that she would play with on and off, it was dirty, tattered and Elmo’s eyes were broken. Kaitlyn loves going in her Grandma’s room and last week she happen to see the Elmo toy that Nikkie had. She feel in love with it and would give it kisses, of course me being a mom i would freak out since the toy was full of hair and it was dirty from the dogs droll and everything. I would take it from her which prompts her crying and having a fit. I finally gave up since she would keep going to the toy and hugging it and rubbing the toy in her face. I washed it by hand over and over again until it got squeaky clean and put it in the dryer. When i finally gave it to Kaitlyn she was so happy that she gave me a big toothless smile. I tell you it melt my heart. Now she carries it everywhere. She has 3 big Elmo’s as it is courtesy of her big sister but every time i would ask her to get her Elmo she would go get the small one that previously belonged to the dog. Now, its her toy and  not the dog.
