Kiko still exists

Meet Kiko.

This was Aleana's best pal for the first four years of her life.  He went everywhere with her.  There is a bare spot just under his right ear where Aleana would scratch/pet her beloved loyal dog as she fell asleep.  He was named Kiko after a chow dog that Tracy's parents had when Aleana was a baby and we still lived in Las Cruces, NM.  But then again, every dog Aleana saw back then was "Kiko"...until she learned how to say dog.

He still hangs around.  Usually on Aleana's bed or in her closest.  He has seen a lot, from being left outdoors in the elements to a cat that took it's dislike of dogs to an unacceptable, smelly level.  He has endured much.

I think this last incident may have hurt his "man-pride" a little bit.  Hannah decided she liked the dog too.  Apparently, Hannah thought the dog could use a make-over.  So she put a "hair-bow" on Kiko.  It's even the self-stick kind :)

Kiko, please know she had the best of intentions.  You are still loved.
