You Will Be Mine


I bought Arthur a plush pika at one of the Rocky Mountain National Park gift shops in Colorado, and it is possibly the cutest toy I have ever seen. So cute, in fact, that my sister might steal it away for herself. She'd better take it before stealth dog wills it off the table.

If he eyeballs it long enough, it will move to the edge and jump right into his mouth.
