Conner

For several months, Sonia has had an invisible friend named Conner (or maybe Connor?). Conner has always been a girl dog. Recently, at her preschool, she found a little stuffed dog and named it Conner. She does not go anywhere without Conner.. not even to sleep. So god help me if I can't find Conner. She seems to get lost when we need to be somewhere quickly so I find myself racing around the house asking everyone if they've seen Conner and feeling a little silly about the urgency I feel to find ... her. She is very real to Sonia. It's great really because we will never have a dog of our own so Conner is a reasonable compromise.
