I know it is hard to guess what someone else would like and she did comment on my avatar a few days ago saying what a cute picture it was of Spike. The only reason I'm leaning away from it is he looks so much more fluffy than he is now. I don't want to ask her because it is so hard to surprise her with anything. She never wants anything and the most I'll be able to get out of her for present ideas is an itunes gift certificate which she'll get but how boring!). Then 2 months after her birthday I'll be back to square one with Christmas. I'm just hoping this can be a surprise.

Have y'all seen Meerkat Manor? That is Spike to a tee! He's totally a little meerkat. He sort of looks like one and he moves around just like one. Not the best breed representation by a mile but he is the funniest little thing I've ever seen and he worships my daughter.
