This was Mark’s Valentine’s Day present.
Dusty and Little Dipper noticed Mark’s present, so Mark put it on the floor to see what they would do. Immediately, Dusty sniffed the head while Little Dipper sniffed the rear; then they swapped places.
After poking the toy to see if it would squeak, Dusty picked up the toy and carried it to the front door. He likes to take his new toys outside to show people. But it was wet outside, so Mark made Dusty keep the stuffed dog inside. Once Dusty came back inside, he picked up his new charge and carried it down the hall…
…and he put it by the bolster near his other toys.
Mark said he liked his Valentine’s Day because he liked the gift I gave him, and because it brought so much joy to our dear old pal, Dusty. So happy Valentine’s Day to Dusty!
