Funmigurumi Poochie Dog No. 3: Missy

Here's Missy, Spots' little sister. She's delicate in her movements, even elegant, but a regular tomboy as well. She's a fast runner, a limber fence climber (sigh!), a ferocious guard dog, and a finicky eater, but oh, such a loving and beautiful dog! No toy will do her justice, so I seek to capture only her funny side, because she's a regular clown as well. She's just a big-hearted girly dog who is not above being the ring-leader in mischief. She has drop-dead gorgeous eyes and loves to carry around her Milk Bone like a cigar.
(The real names of our dogs are Cody and Daisy, but I am only trying to cartoon their personalities in these toys, that is why I have also changed their names.) They have also big, soulful, yellow eyes and spotted bodies. They also have long hair, so I decided to add shells to Missy's boddy to represent her long fur.
Hope you enjoy this one also!
