“Doggie” for Kattie, a grownup.
Kattie is all grown up now, but her older sister Stephanie knows Kattie loves Doggie just as much as she did as a little kid. Stephanie had to ask her mom for more info on Kattie’s special affection for Doggie, because, as Stephanie claims, her only memories of Doggie “somehow revolve around Doggie being the subject of older sister blackmail.” Being an awesome sister now, she’s making up for it with a special portrait of Doggie on Kattie’s 25th birthday.
So her mom sent this helpful info (thanks, Kattie’s mom!):
“Kattie met Doggie during a shopping trip when she was only 11 months old. It was apparently love at first sight and before we knew it, Kattie had started kissing (drooling) all over Doggie’s nose – to the point where Doggie had to come home with us. After that, the soft pink dog/bunny (she even has a cottontail) and Kattie were inseparable – during naps, play time, vacations and more. Over the years, Doggie has gotten older and has had to recover from a couple of surgeries (oops), but still makes any trip necessary to stay with Kattie wherever she is!”
Happy Birthday, Kattie!
