Grammie found Rudolph at Big Lots and gave it to Olivia for Christmas. She absolutely adored Rudolph - by pushing a button on his ear, his nose lights up and he says cute little Rudolphisms such as "I'm cute!" (just like Rudolph says in the movie but through that stopped up nose voice - if you can recall, Rudolph's dad made him wear dirt on his nose to cover up the red). Very annoying. Even more annoying was the fact that Rudolph only played part of his signature song - which is probably why he was such a cheap buy at Big Lots. I would also speculate that the reason he was so cheap was because whoever designed the toy thought that the sound should be amped up especially loud - as if Rudolph wasn't annoying enough. So needless to say, after several weeks of Olivia insisting that Rudolph take naps with her (and her unable to go to sleep because she kept pressing his ear to hear him sing) and hearing Rudolph over and over again in the car on the way to daycare, I was not the least bit dismayed that Maggie decided that Rudolph would taste pretty good and chewed off his nose. Olivia cried "No, no, Babby" and was distraught. All I can say is "good dog."
