Our baby has a streak of Vegas in her veins- anytime she spies a coin-op claw game, she puts up a fuss til we drop in whatever pocket change we can scrounge up... (who carries actual money anymore?)
Muppy the Purple Puppy was a prize from one of our luckier nights-as lucky as a fixed game can be I suppose... I had put a dollar bill in the machine (sorry waitress, your tip just got lighter, but the baby's gotta play...) Won Muppy first grab and nothing on the required second swoop... oh well.
I wouldn't have paid a buck for the dog under other circumstances, but for that RyeBird's smile?
Any price.
So, Muppy has been a constant companion since that lucky day.
Muppy's ear however, hasn't been so lucky, having found employment as a tote handle.
It was bound to happen...
We had to "Doc McStuffins" the dog immediately...
Muppy is recovering nicely.
And yes, those are underpants Muppy has on...
but that's another story.
