Build-a-BearPUPPY

Anyone who knows Macklan is not surprised that he chose a puppy instead of a bear for his 1st Build-a-Bear experience. He is a puppy boy! It was fun going into the workshop and allowing Macklan to pick exactly what he wanted. Of course, he picked out the most expensive puppy (must get that from his Mommy) but I couldn't blame him. It was cuddly soft and the most adorable of the three or four choices.

He was really into pushing the pedal that filled his puppy with fluffy stuffing, and he placed a tiny red heart inside after warming it in his hands. A puppy sound button was added to one of the paws and all that remained was anxiously watching the worker stitch up the puppy.

Macklan loved washing and grooming his puppy...

and giving him big hugs and kisses!

Another thing he picked out without hesitation was the outfit...a UK basketball uniform! Good choice. I knew this decision would greatly please Daddy (and it did). Macklan and I agreed that the best name for this puppy would be Rupp! So we created the birth certificate and snapped a quick picture of the two new friends...

Macklan and Rupp the Puppy!!!
