That is so cute. That will be a lifetime favorite, too. Muffin had a stuffed doggie that I gave to her on her first day with us and it lasted through many washings through the years and she loved it to pieces and wagged it all over the house. She'd even take it up on the back of the couch when she wanted to look out the windows sometimes. It had shrunk and was getting quite threadbare in the last years. She took it with her to Rainbow Bridge. Kacee hasn't adopted any so far that way. She just loves her balls!
