Mary Lou, what were your favorite toys as a child?

My favorite toys when I was young were baby dolls, stuffed animals and my pekingese dog Sandy.  I liked to feed the dolls a bottle and change their diaper, just like a real baby I thought, ha ha.  I played board games with my stuffed animals.  They would be my opponent, I usually won!  My dog, Sandy, was a good sport.  I’d dress her up in doll clothes, put her in a doll carriage and wheel her around.  I’d mash up her dog biscuits, mix some water with them and heat them up on a toy electric stove I had.   Then I’d put her in a high chair and spoon feed her the dog biscuits.  She’d also ride my bike with me.  She put her front legs over the handlebars and her rear legs stood on the top bar of the bike.  She was very special to put up with all my ideas!
