Marius' new friend

So since hubby is such a tough guy, he was always talking about how everyone better not be buying our son all kinds of stuffed animals. Remember Pillow People? The only stuffed anything Tucker had as a kid was the Pillow Fighter that he used to jump and land on and kick the crap out of on a daily basis.

Well, as you know, hubby is in the Air Force. When he was in basic training, his training sqadron were the Bulldogs, so a few weeks ago Lexie was talking about how she wanted to bring Anthony to Build-A-Bear so he could get his bear a new outfit (she had the damn thing crammed in a preemie sleeper and it looked like the little kid in A Christmas Story in the snowsuit). I looked on the Build-A-Bear website and saw that one of the carcasses you could stuff was a bulldog. I called my local store to make sure they had it in stock before we went there. Of course, they didn't carry it, so I had to order the carcass online to bring into the store and stuff. We finally got around to getting there today, and here's what I made:



I figured DH couldn't argue with a bulldog in dress blues. I even put one of the sound things in it's paw that plays one of the Air Force jodies.

He didn't argue. lol
