Sophie's Special Present

Sophie wasn't sure what was happening. The Pony Girls were chattering away together. But they had excluded her. Once in a while they would giggle or look over at her then speak in hushed tones.
She sat down on the edge of the dresser. Her feelings were hurt. She was afraid maybe they didn't like her anymore. Had she done something wrong?
Suddenly the girls turned and walked over to her. Sonata reached out a hand. 'Sophie are you OK? You look so sad,' she said.
Sophie turned. 'Do you still like me?' she asked with a little sniffle. 
'Of course!' cried Sonata. 'We love you! What makes you think we don't like you?'
'I saw you talking about me and laughing,' she replied. 
'Oh Sophie we were taking about you but not laughing at you. We were talking about your...' 
'Sonata! Shhhhh!' hissed Aria. 
Sonata tried again. 'It's just that we got you a...' 
'Geez, Sonata,' said Aria, pinching her shoulder. 'Ow!' cried Sonata.
Aria shoved Sonata behind her and stood in front of Sophie. 'Well we might as well tell you now. It WAS a surprise,' she said, glancing back at Sonata. She reached into her bunk and took out a little doll. She handed it to Sophie. 'We bought you this. Mommy helped us. We told her that you needed someone to practice with and we were so proud of you for working so hard at your ballet.' 
Sophie was shocked. She took the doll in her little hands. 'Oh Aria she's so beautiful! Lol, she even looks like me! I didn't know. I'm sorry I thought mean things.' 
'It's ok, Sophie. We shouldn't have been so weird about it.' 
Sophie showed Mommy her doll.
Then she hugged Aria. 'Thank you for a wonderful present. I love her and I love you!' 
'I love you, too,' Aria replied. 
Next she hugged Sonata. 'Thank you, Sonata. I love you even though you can't keep a secret.' Sonata laughed and said, 'Wait till you hear about your birthday present!' 
Then she hugged Melody. 'Thank you, Melody! I love you!' 
Melody happily hugged her back. 'Best friends forever!' she said. 
She showed Henry. He sniffled the doll and wagged his tail. 
She showed Gilbert. He wanted to play Bone.
She showed Taffy the Alpaca. Taffy just stood there. But she did let the tiny doll ride on her back. 
Then she showed Mommy again. 'She's wonderful, Sophie. You have very sweet sisters.'
Then she showed Mommy how she could hold her doll like a baby. 
Sophie climbed down the dresser and made her way up Max's ramp. Holly was playing at the top and she wanted to show her her new doll. But Holly was busy with a feather and didn't take much notice.
Max was asleep so she decided she'd show him later. She knew he'd like her doll. So she rolled into her back and lifted her precious gift up in the air and admired her. Mommy was right. Sophie had the best sisters ever. 
The End. 

This will be our last blog that features Max. We miss him so much since he went to Heaven. We lovingly dedicate all our adventures to our friend who cared for us and helped keep us safe. We love you, Max.

-Love Aria 🐾

Louisa Runs Away

Image
 Louisa snapped her book shut.  She was reading a riviting story.  In the story, the little girl ran away.  She even took a train!  She found it to be an interesting idea.  Maybe she should run away, too! She turned to tell Clarence her great idea.  But he seemed to be asleep in his chair.  He always fell asleep when she read aloud to him.  She patted him on his fluffy head.  He quietly mooed in his sleep.  Louisa wondered if he was dreaming about grazing in lush green grass. Time to get ready! She hopped up and grabbed a backpack off the dresser.  Which was no easy feat because she had to climb the dresser first.  That's one thing that was true about all the dolls in this family.  They were all good climbers. After she got the backpack, she put her curly hair back in a ponytail.  She didn't want her hair in her face while she was running away.  She picked up Scooter, ass...

Grey Dawn Needs Therapy

Image
Hi my name is Gray Dawn. I'm a blueberry pie alpaca. Mommy named me after a collie from one of her favorite Albert Payson Terhune books. I have a lot of interests like playing with my friends, climbing up and down the shelves and generally being cute. But one of my interests got me into trouble one day. This is my story. I was sitting at the computer minding my own business one day when Mommy came up to me. Gray Dawn, she's said, I got my bank statement. I stood very still. I didn't want her to see that I was buying alpacas. Do you know how much money you spent on alpacas in the past couple months? Hey are you buying alpacas right now? Um. No? I quickly changed the screen to a picture that I'd been coloring. I'm just coloring I said. Gray Dawn, we have to talk she said. You spend way too much of my money on alpacas. I think you have a problem. I pushed my reading glasses up on my head and gave her a serious look. I don't have ...

A Special Storytime

Image
Mommy had received some great mail this week. The one thing was something they'd been waiting a long time for. It was the second book from The Doll's Storybook. All the dolls followed the blog. They were all big fans and were really excited about the new book. This one was about Emil and his brother. Since the girls didn't have a brother, they were very interested to see how different the boys were from themselves. It being Saturday, the dolls knew it was story time. Whenever they gathered for story time, they would pick a girl to read. Today it was Aria's turn again. The second piece of mail, Mommy kept to herself. It was a suprise. The girls all lined up to chose their story time Affirmation Pal. Andi and Lily were in the front of the line, so they chose first. Andi chose Buttercup the Yak. Lily chose Rainbow Sprite. They carried them up Max's ramp to the bed. Rainbow Sprite was bigger than Lily. She co...
