Natalie has been wanting a little toy puppy that she had seen in Target a few times, so we bought it for her and told her that if she was able to use the potty so many times, she could get it. Let's just say that she was motivated to play with that toy puppy, and exceeded our expectations quickly.
I must say, it is a neat little toy. It came with a doctor's kit, which Natalie uses to check the dogs heartbeat and blood pressure. They also have a syringe, bone, and bottle. When you pet the dog it whines, and when you pat it on the back it barks.
Natalie named the dog "Blackie" and she will often compare other dogs she sees while riding in the carseat to Blackie. From time to time, I catch her checking Blackie's vital signs in the living room when she is playing by herself.
So, she doesn't have a "real" puppy like her cousins, but this is all she is going to be getting for awhile. We will need to have our own backyard before thinking about getting a dog.
Here are a few pictures of Natalie and Blackie:

Natalie, you will have to bring your puppy with you when you visit Houston this month. We can not wait to see you. GG- Dad and grandma Opal are excited that you are coming to visit them too.
Love, G-MA and G-Dad
