The Missing Feature

Today my best friend Cowwie had the most wonderful chocolate-chip cookie. Of course, he gave me half, as he is the bestest friend ever! But, sadly, I could not smell the cookie. Piggy and Emily, our other friends, were gabbing on and on about how good it smelled. I guess I'll never have a clue about smells. You see, I have no nose. Yes...it is the terrible, sad, terribly sad fact about me. Jillian is good at describing smells, but it's just not the same as the real thing. Of course, I'd rather be missing a nose than an ear. Or a mouth! Boy, without a mouth I could not talk! Or jabber, as Piggy calls it. Look below, because there is a photo of me (noseless, pitiful me) and Cowwie! PS--please do not feel sorry for me not having a nose, as I have so many other blessings to count that I always lose count when I try. That may have to do with the fact that I can't remember what comes after eleven...

Look out below!

Garage Sale 2011

But not mine, hehe!!
Relaxing on a bench
Hanging out together!
Sharing secrets with Cowwie
Exhausting!
Rearranging some jars. Much better!
Testing the furniture. Feels good!





























Hanging from the balcony for a great view!



Lounging around with some buddies.







It is a tradition between our extended family (including Jillian's aunts and cousins) to hold a garage sale, typically annually. The most recent one took place this past Saturday. I was invited to come along to the sleepover the night before, and I joined the staff outside occasionally. Jillian managed to snap a few photos of me, and these is the exciting first shots of me you get to see! Also, Coming Soon: photos and possibly videos from a trip we're embarking on soon!!! Love, Socko ♪♫♪

Welcome...elcome...elcome.

Hello! My name is Socko and I'm a handmade sock monkey. My hobbies are dancing, eating soup and cereal, and reading board books. I also love hanging out with my other thirty-three family members at my house! My owner is Jillian. She's so awesome. She collects us (sock monkeys) and told me I could make a blog from my point of view of the world. More fun facts: my birthday is April 12, I'll be three this year, my favorite books are Sock Monkey Dreams, 10 Little Sock Monkeys, Curious George and Fox in Socks, my favorite movie is Aladdin, and my favorite band is the Monkees. I always wear a blue T-shirt with my picture on it and jeans with a cute little button, and socks. I'm almost twenty inches long.
Things to expect on this blog: stuff about food, pictures and lots of 'em, information about our travels, maybe some movies, and drawings.
Please look around for a while and enjoy my blog! Goodbye!
