Unexpected gift

Over the summer I knitted several pairs of wool socks for a family friend.  This friend who is a few years older than I am, was in a serious car accident the day after she graduated from high school.  She was in a coma for 6 months and has a traumatic brain injury.....she has made many gains, although many go unnoticed unless you know her.  In the past six months she has been able to cough and sing for the first time in 17 years!  Due to her accident she is no longer able to walk (due to the brain injury).  Many people who are in wheel chairs do not have the best circulation in their arms and legs.  This leaves them having very cold hands and feet.  Well, she LOVED the socks, in fact wouldn't allow her mom to take them off her this summer.  As a thank you she and her mom found a special gift for the child I will adopt.  It was a completely unexpected gift that they left at my parent's home.  I finally decided to bring it home.  It is now being used by my two furry children as a place to sleep.

This is Bogart, he had been laying on the top of the toy sleeping, but decided to sit up when I came in with my camera.

Pippin also has been caught napping on the toy, but he usually prefers the Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair.  My cats (aka the boys) tend to claim unusual places to sleep.  I wonder what they will do when there is a crib or toddler bed in the room.
