Dash #786 Jenna's Beloved Dog
This is Ernie in the middle. I purchased him when I had worked for Snelgroves ice cream store in Salt Lake City. He has a music box inside of him. When wound up, he will play the tune "Teddy Bear's Picnic". I brought Ernie into my marriage. I think he sat on a shelf until after Jenna was born. I would play the song for her. She loved putting her hand on Ernie's belly when the music played. She loved feeling the music play. This is how Hi-Five may have appeared at one time. strange name, I know. I will explain how we got his name, but first allow me to back up to the day when Hi-Five joined our family. Jenna and I had been visiting with Aunt Gertrude who often purchased items just because they were on sale. It was rare that any family member would ever visit and not be offered to walk away with some material object be it a sweatshirt, stuffed animal, collectible doll or rocks (...
