Asa here. While looking through old photos I made a startling realization. Yesterday was Ms. Caterpillar’s two year anniversary of being my friend. That’s like a bazillion years in stuffed animal time! I never dreamed when I received her as a gift from the Easter Bunny that Ms. Caterpillar would still be going strong two years later. Yes, I love and appreciate my squeaky friends. However, let’s just say Chuck Billy isn’t as gentle as me, so their lifespans are usually tragically short.

Sure Ms. Caterpillar isn’t as fluffy as she once was, and her squeakers don’t work anymore. She has also needed emergency surgery more than once, and has spent time recuperating in the closet. But through it all, she has remained my dear friend. So today we will celebrate our special friendship while looking forward to even more time together!
