and bad, and survived.
Then one day, she found the older brother she had always wanted. She was thrilled when he came to live in her home. They enjoyed a lot of fun times together which she had only dreamt about, when she was alone. They soon developed a very special bond which she treasured dearly.
But there was one little problem.
Her brother wasn't aware about her other special bond...the one she had with her stuffy friends.
Disaster struck in the form of a little accident one day when he was too bored with the flavoured chew-bone Mumsy had left for him.
After all she had always been very protective of them all and had taken care of them with a lot of affection since puppyhood. She remembered all their names and would go get them whenever Mumsy offered to play with them all. What was she to do now?
Seeing her so sad made her brother realise the enormity of his deed.
'My Dog! You boys will always be boys! Chew-Toys indeed!', the little princess looked skywards and exclaimed!
So she soon forgave him. She made him promise not to do what he had done ever again. He too sincerely crossed his heart and promised.
But the princess had her doubts.
She was very sad that she could no longer cuddle them, but for their safety she was ready to make that sacrifice.
She and her brother soon found ways to keep themselves busy and after a pawticularly busy evening, went off to sleep peacefully.
And in her sleep, the little Labra princess dreamt her sweet little dream of living with her stuffy-toys and her brother happily ever after....
