I would like to point out that this month FLEW by! I mean like a jet plane. So, to celebrate the end of this month and the beginning of my Birthday month I bring you the very last Blogtember post:
Monday, September
30: Share a photo of something old. Maybe something that has personal
history for you, that was passed down to you, and that has special meaning to
you. Tell us about it and why it's special.
See that stuffed dog in that picture? That my friends in Jamie. He is a bona fide Pound Puppy who will be 27 years old this December. He came into my life on my 3rd Christmas. (He is named after my cousin Jamie, whom I have not seen since I was umm I dunno a kid, but apparently I had quite the crush on him when I was 3.) But, Jamie, the dog, is my best friend, confidant, secret keeper, dream catcher, tear dryer, all-round comfort-giver.
He has been everywhere with me, yup everywhere. He came to every twirling competition, went to college, law school, London, my wedding and yup, even my honeymoon. I'm not quite sure how he came to be my best friend, but he is. He has been lost, misplaced, washed, repaired more times that I can count, but he is still alive and well. He has been chewed, spit out, buried in sand, stuffed in a suitcase, slept on and manages to keep on loving me. He knows me better than anyone else. He is the inspiration for everyone's "Jamie." V calls anyone's thing they carry with them all the time, their "Jamie." But he is the one and only, original.
Did you have a best stuffed friend as a kid? or a blanket? I would show you my blankie, but Im pretty sure he finally died after college. Alas, goodbye September, its been swell, but hello October, hello 31 and hello blates!
I have a stuffed dog named Dodger that I bought in high school. He goes on every plane ride, car ride and yes he is in my apartment now.
ReplyDeleteI love him!

That's precious!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have a bear that's like your Jamie - it was given to my parents as a shower gift, so he's literally been around since I was born. He was never named, always just called 'Bear.' And I am holding onto him, because soon, he will belong to Caleb:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad October is here! Can't wait to celebrate your birthday month with you THIS week!!!:)
I have a stuffed puppy named Jake who is my bestest friend ever!! Boyfriend makes fun of me about it all the time, but I do not even care. Like Jamie, Jake will be at my wedding, on my honeymoon, and at every other important event between now and when he needs to be retired. He's just my buddy!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I never had a favorite anything but I kind of hope my daughter does!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love when people keep items from their childhood.
ReplyDeleteI have the baby blanket I was given at one of the baby showers thrown for my mom and I. It'll be 28 next month!
