Ruthie and I bought Charlie in 2009/2010, long before thoughts of getting a dog ever came to us. Charlie, a knock-off Pillow Pet, sat proudly on our bed until one spring clean in 2014 when he went into the wardrobe.
Then, one day whilst going through the wardrobe Ruthie produced Charlie and Pixel instantly wanted him. Since that point Charlie has been Pixel's best friend and his favourite toy. Pixel's love of Charlie means that whenever we travel away for any significant length of time, we have to pack the unicorn.
Charlie acted as a comforter for Pixel while he settled into our home. It provided him with a "safe space" where could retreat to if he felt overwhelmed.
Considering that Charlie is a cheap toy he has done surprising well to survive a life with a dog, only sustaining one small hole on the neck.. Pixel enjoys throwing Charlie around a room before pinning him to the floor and chewing upon his mane or his horn. Once the game is over, Pixel is more than happy to curl up on top of his friend and have snooze.
So this is for Charlie the Unicorn, who helped give a dog a second chance and settle into a new home, may he live forever and never need too many repairs.
