The Middlest Sister: The Life and Times of Mr. Cotton, Part 2 "Mr. Cotton kicks up dust as he zooms away from Barbie's Dream House, having taken her for every penny she was worth"

The Middlest Sister: The Life and Times of Mr. Cotton, Part 2 "Waaaaaah! That was my grandmother's feather boa! Give it back, you scoundrel, you thief."

    This is such a cool hamster! I can’t believe he let you and your sisters dress him up. I wish that ominous dog wasn’t in the last frame :(

    Love your blog by the way. Keep it up!
