Ali takes such good care of her animals, stuffed and imaginary. One day she asked if she could take one of the (imaginary) wolves she has under her bed to church with us. "Not the mean one, the nice one," she assured me. I told her that would be fine, and watched with growing amusement and amazement as the day went on. She put him on a leash and walked him out to the car. When we got to church, she walked him into Sacrament Meeting and hooked his leash under her chair. After Sacrament Meeting, she unhooked him and walked him down the hall to Primary. When I picked her up at the end of the meetings, she asked me to hold her picture because she couldn't hold it and the leash! And when we got home she walked him up to her room and put him back in his cage under her bed! I couldn't believe it: she remembered to take care of her imaginary wolf for over four hours!

Time for a puppy? :)
I would start saving for vet shcool.
JD had an imaginary friend named Sam (as I recall). They were best friends until Sam started doing bad things -- breaking things ("Sam did it."), taking cookies ("Sam took them.") etc. But once JD learned that he was responsible for Sam's behavior, Sam quit visiting....
wow :) that is a sweetly impressive story!
