Little Evie-Rose, our granddaughter got a gift—-from me–Pop Pops .   It’s “Little Doggie.”

I like nick-names; just ask the Groaners and the Chamber of Commercials.   Little Evie-Rose has an undisclosed real last name, but Eileen and I prefer our nick-name for her. Her parents are OK with the nickname, but they like Evy instead of Evie.

However  I was concerned regarding the hundreds if not thousands of photos of her sent around the Facebook universe or directly to us.  We don’t do Facebook, but others do.

I saw her with many toys, including a zoo’s worth of stuffed animals.  Yet none of them seemed right to me. She really needed a dog that was just the right size for her including the right breed and color and lovability.

So I perused the Internet and found a hand-made doggie  from France; it was perfect. It seems that this dog is famous among stuffed dog cognoscenti. Someone told me that it is a miniature apricot French poodle.

I  liked it so much that I  actually considered getting one for Eileen et  moi.  We shipped it to Evie.   She doesn’t live around here anymore although she is an “almost Grover.”

In the photo she seems to be reading the gift card.  I think that my stuffed dog looks perfect for Little Evie.

Evidently the dog has no name.  Dogs need a name.  Right?

So I like “Doggie”.  I will suggest that, but I won’t be surprised if they have another name planned. But, when I see the dog in person, I will probably still call it “Doggie.”  Or maybe “Dogger.”

But what if Little Evie asks her parents if the dogger is a boy or girl?  They can handle that; not me.

Also I need music for this post.  Someday I would like to introduce her to Elvis—-She can start with this:

We’ll send this out to  “Little Evie-Rose.” on a Saturday night in Ocean Grove. 6/28/25
