Adios Tiger

tiger

There was a time when Tiger was new, fresh, soft and even smelled good. Tiger is no longer new, he feels crusty and smells like a dog has been licking him for years.

tiger body

His body is still in pretty good shape with most of the fir intact, maybe missing some spots here and there.

tiger side

Why he’s been licked so much under his left armpit, I’ll never, ever know. Maybe the fur was better there or maybe Sydney is left-pawed and it was easier to hold Tiger down that way. The right side looks untouched.

tiger head

The head is decidedly untouched. Poor Tiger, his head has been mangled and destroyed to the point of no longer even looking like the cute, round head we remember from before Sydney and him became friends 2 years ago.

Eyeballs: gone. Ears: warped. Nose: disgustingly slobbery. Fur: buzz licked down the middle of head.

turtle I think it is time for Turtle to step up and take over because there is only so much a tiny tiger can take.

Barry and I took some pictures to document my growing belly and in the middle of me taking his belly shot (why not, right?) Sydney strolled up in the background and started peeing. Needless to say, Barry was quite upset that Syd had ruined his photo shoot. I guess she thought it weird that he was getting pictures of his tummy taken when clearly mine is the one that has sprouted a full-time Thanksgiving gut.

Baked Potato

My family has a billion nicknames for Sydney, but most recently my brothers and sister-in-law have become obsessed with comparing her to a baked potato. Izak really wants her to dress up as one for Halloween. He keeps saying that we could wrap her in foil and sprinkle some chives on top and be done!  A couple days ago I checked my e-mail and Geneviève had sent me this picture she’d come across on the internet.  Oi.
