Dedi McStuffins to the Rescue!

Hello, dear reader(s)! We suffered a bit of a loss on Friday...but first, allow me to rewind:

My husband has a thing about cardinals. They are his spirit animal.  They remind him of his grandma, and when they appear we both take it as a good sign/sign of luck/sign that someone is watching over us.  One day while he was out shopping, Husband found a stuffed "cardinal" for Ms. OG to fall in love with, so of course he bought it.  Turns out this cardinal 1) isn't a cardinal at all, but a woodpecker 2) and is from a show called "Sheriff Callie's Wild West".  Those of you with children (or adults who like this particular cartoon) know him as Peck.  Regardless of his species, OG fell in love with Peck,

Fast-forward to this past week when we came home to the scene of a crime. Peck was on the ground next to shredded paper towels (Lucy Poochie's M.O.)...

We didn't know if we could save him, so we  waited until the next day rushed the brave Peck to Dedi's for a professional opinion.  Dedi MsStuffins came back with good news and bad news...Peck would survive.

But...she would need to amputate.

Evidence: after the brutal attack // After the amputation, Post-Op Peck is feeling much better!

Thanks to the quick thinking of Dedi McStuffins, Peck will live to see another day.  And OG didn't have to lose a friend - although she is curious about what happened to his leg. It makes for a great "people come in different shapes and sizes" conversation starter!

Oh, and through all of the turmoil, OG's outfit on Friday was still darn cute.

Because, #toddlerfashionblog.

Concerned friend OG was wearing:
-Creamsicle colored oversized tee with white sparkle print graphic (a Charlie Rue donation)
-Black, white and silver striped leggins (Once upon a BabyToddler)
-Sparkly black jelly sandals (also a CRD donation)
-White and peach colored hair flower

What can I say? She's a happy lady, even if her friend might lose a limb.
