You know our tough little brother Dui,

 who is usually in the middle of wild games;

 rips up tennis balls;

pulls branches off bushes;

digs holes;

destuffs toys

and generally causes havoc around our house?

Well, he has a secret.

He sleeps with a teddy bear!

It's his size.

It was here when he arrived and he sleeps with it every night.

Big Bear has not been chewed-- even has the original bow.

Once Roxy grabbed it and was throwing it around, 

Dui rescued Big Bear and put him way back in his crate

so she couldn't get it.

Bear had a brown tinge to his fur, so he had to be washed.

But he's back in bed waiting for Dui tonight.

Guess you can't be tough all the time when you're only 5 months old.
