Her youngest daughter, Javrielle, surprised her with TokTok, a golden retriever sweetie doggie - a furry princess- saying it'd help her heal faster, and Javrielle had always wanted one. Initially, the author thought having a puppy would be manageable while she was off work. However, her physio raised concerns when she mentioned the puppy, and she wasn't wrongTokTok brought sleepless nights, chewed-up jandals, zoomies, and accidents galore. The teething phase was chaotic - TokTok would bite and chew everything, including their Christmas tree decorations (they had to remove the lower half to save the tree ). They felt like giving up, but the love and snugz TokTok brought changed everything. The more time they spent with their sweetie doggie, the more inseparable they felt, falling head over heels in love with TokTok. Soon, they welcomed another fur baby, named Babie, into their home.To God be the gloryGet readyWe're excited to share updates on Ariam and the Magic Toothies' exciting journey.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/06/701/124/1067011242_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.99", "online_price" : "15.99", "our_price" : "15.99", "club_price" : "15.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
