Kip & His Pig

So the story behind Kip and his pig starts back at Christmas. Tim and Mary’s dog, Britt, has a plush monkey that Kip likes to play with when he stays at their house. But what he loves even more is laying on the monkey so about a month later shows up this pink pig—the equivalent to the monkey—dog toy for Kip.

Within two hours of throwing the pig on the floor for him to play with he had already busted open the seam where the manufacturer stuffs the toy. I scrambled for my needle and thread and closed the hole the best I could, knowing there would be more tugging and pulling in this little pigs future.

And Kip LOVES his pig! He runs around the house with it, tosses it in the air, sits next to it, sits on it, and lays all over it. I am waiting for the night that he heads to bed with it. Compared to a dirty old sock with holes that he can rip apart, I think he likes his pig best. The best part is that this pig comes equipped with a squeaker, which still makes Kip take a few steps backwards.
