I Love the One I'm Near


When Emme wants a lovie, she always goes for Big Mama Gorilla. Rudy on the other hand is fickle. His favorite lovie is the Really Big Lovie but he is like the words to the song from the play Brigadoon: "When I'm not near the one I love, I love the one I'm near."

If the Really Big Lovie is not right at hand Rudy will pick up another lovie. Sometimes it is the Canada Goose, the Yellow Teddy Bear, the Pink or Blue Bunny, or even, horrors, Big Mama Gorilla. He is particular about size. The stuffie has to be big enough to cuddle. He wraps his paws around it so the smaller ones won't do. But any of the bigger ones will work. He is not discriminating. He loves the one he is near.
