She is essentially a dog toy, like you say. In fact for the first week we had ours, the dog thought it was his. Everyone in our neighborhood has Sophie the giraffe, which I find hilarious.

Sophie the giraffe. My son has chewed on her so much now - that at 8 months old, her spots are sadly faded (it's food grade dye though, so they tell us). I stepped on her on the hardwood floor last night and proceeded to jump about 4 feet straight up. Sophie seems innocent enough, but beware... she will scare the ever living hell out of you too, one of these days. Ahh. Sophie the giraffe.

When I first saw the picture, I thought Schmutzli was the Grim Reaper. Glad your Christmas was good, hope for good things for your family in 2009! Agree with tash above.

Glad you had a wonderful holiday - loved the pics. Saxby Chambliss to you too! I would trade all of my Christmas cookies for just get one little nibble of Simone’s delicious chubby cheekies!

It was about a chicken (Minerva Louise) who lived on a farm, and the red curtains were in the farmhouse. I think it's funny that Simone got such a similar sounding book :) although the cover gives me the impression Louise doesn't live on a farm. The other coincidence is that this christmas my sister gave me another book she found at a thrift store. It's called A Hat for Minerva Louise.

It's funny now, to encounter a new toy and have my mind immediately size up its merits as a chew toy for my demanding, toothless pirana. That giraffe is a fine specimen.
