Little Puppy was a gift to Brian from my mom at my baby shower. He is tiny and soft and came with his own little blankie. Little Puppy got his orders to deploy this week and began his trip today to the deployed location along with some treats, toiletries, homemade cookies, and the following letter:Dear Daddy,
I miss you! This is my little puppy. He’s been mine since before I was born. I thought you could use some company and this little guy is small but cuddly. I was hoping you could take him places with you sometimes and take pictures of him wherever he goes. When you and little puppy get home, Mommy can make me a book of all the pictures of the places you and little puppy went together and the adventures you had. This will help me understand what a deployment is when I’m older. Take little puppy as many places as you can! Here are some ideas mommy had about where he could get his picture taken—your room, the bathrooms, the gym, the mess hall, the squadron, the BX, on the wheel of a really cool Army vehicle, in the jet, and anywhere else you can think of. Be creative Daddy! I will love to have a little book about where my puppy went with you!!! I love you so much and miss you already. I kiss my daddy doll a lot and ask about you whenever I’m on you and Mommy’s bed! Your little boy, Brian

The following is a note from mommy: I know this is weird and you’ll be embarrassed to take pictures of a stuffed animal but Brian will love this book one day. Try to aim for at least 20 pictures (that’s only one a week). It could always be worse, I could have picked a larger stuffed animal or something pink ;) I love you, Kelly
I tried to get a few pictures of Brian with little puppy before he was shipped off but he wasn't having any of it, he's not really a stuffed animal fan (you can't loudly bang a stuffed animal against the coffee table and see wood chips fly off it, therefore stuffed animals are boring). Here are some of the funny ones:

Mommy, here's this stupid dog thing again

Little puppy whispering sweet nothings...

Take this mommy and give me something hard to play with

You tricked me!
