Born on June 1st at the Build-a-Bear Workshop at Oak Park Mall, weighing 6.5 oz, 15 inches tall, brown eyes, cream colored fur, and tummy that smells like strawberries!  Drew has had his sights set on a soccer pup at Build-a- Bear for quite awhile…I think he may have had it on his Christmas list the last few years!  He called Aunt Jennifer and left her  the cutest message asking if she would take him this summer.  Of course, she usually gives in and off they went this week!  He chose this little puppy and named him Messi after his favorite soccer player.  He’s been treating this little guy quite well and giving him lots of snuggles.  Yesterday Drew had him propped up on the counter and was sharing his breakfast pancakes with him which led to a cute little conversation about Messi.  He said he’s just a baby so he doesn’t have any teeth and he’s REALLY hungry because he had not been fed all day the day before!  I asked how he eats without any teeth?  Without hesitation, Drew said, “well he has to eat creamy stuff like applesauce.” I mean of course, why would I not know this!?  Apparently I am not up to speed on soccer pup nutrition!  Thank you Aunt Jenn for making Drew Boo so happy and for generously adding to our family of stuffed animals! 😉
