It was love at first sight for Eloise, Sweet child who always said, 'Thank you" and "please." A doll Santa brought her on Christmas morn. To Eloise, a baby girl was born. The little one was a doting mother and loved her dolly, wanting no other But one day, Eloise woke from sleeping Baby was gone ~ Eloise was weeping. The family searched in many places. Everyone wore sad frowns on their faces No doubt about it, Baby Doll was lost Eloise cried all night. She turned and tossed. Come morning, Pearl the Sheltie, raised her head Eloise yelled, "Baby Doll's in Pearl's bed!!" That pup wanted a baby of her own instead of pull toys, or a chewy bone! Now, Eloise and Pearl are quite content They carry their dolls into a play tent Like two little mommies they go to sleep With babes at their side, they don't make a peep.

Cute and intelligent writing Lin, anyone with a dog knows they prefer kid’s dolls, teds, and owners socks over their own toys, Eloise looks very attached too her rag doll, cheers David

I took that picture almost 2 years ago and she still sleeps with that doll. To this day, her only name has been Baby Doll. Thanks, David. You’re correct about what dogs prefer to keep close.

Thank you, Kim. This is Eloise (Elle), my granddaughter, when she got her doll.
