For the Love of a Duck

Once upon a time, Aunt Kristin bought her newborn niece, Tori, a yellow duckie.

(See left side of picture...)

As Baby Tori grew, she fell in love with the little yellow duckie.  She called him "Duyay".

Soon, their bond was unbreakable, and everywhere Tori went, Duyay went, too.

Together they grew some more, and Duyay became "Duckie".

And a little more...

And again a little more, and Duckie became "Ming Ming".

In the blink of an eye, newborn Tori was 7, and Ming Ming was still her most treasured friend.

That year, Ming Ming became "Duckie" again as well as the subject of many photographs...

Even when ponies became a new love of her life, Duckie was always her favorite.

And then one day, Tori was sad.  Duckie was falling to pieces.

So she picked out some new material for an extreme duckie makeover.  And Grammy worked her magic... 

...and transformed Tori's most special friend.

Welcome back, Duckie.  We love you!
