Maddie and Her Puppie

This is Puppie.  Note she is so worn out her nose is gone.  

Maddie and Her Puppie

Maddie has a puppie
But it is not real
It is a big eyed toy she named Puppie
To her she is the real deal
She loves her
And will not let go of her ever.

Inseparable they are
Maddie has to have her in the car
On the table while she eats
With her as she crosses the street
She even shares with her Puppie
Her milk and cookie
Gives her kisses and hugs her tight
Before she sleeps at night.

When Maddie sometimes loses her Puppie
We all have to find her in a hurry
Maddie gets real sad
And feels really bad
Maddie is so lost
Without the Puppie she loves most.
We have looked for Puppie
At home in all nooks and crannies
In her car seat we looked to see
And on the floor of my car that was so messy
We have checked the library toy bins
Or the church pew we sat in
One time I went crazy looking for lost Puppie all over town
Only for my hubby to find her in the office garbage can I own.
How it got there is still a mystery
Perhaps I threw her with the other stuff accidentally.

We bought exactly the same toy to do the trick
So we do not end up looking for lost Puppie till we're sick
Puppie is now old and so worn out
Her nose we do not know its whereabouts
But somehow it is always the old one I give her
To Maddie it might not matter
But to me it does to give her this
The Puppie she had always missed.
