Fun Feline Finds: Garfield & Pooky Enesco Music Box

Garfield has been a part of my life for as far back as I can remember. The original "crabby tabby," I identify with him in so many ways...we both love lasagna, hate mornings, and love spending hours curled up in front of the TV doing nothing.

Through the years I've collected nearly every Garfield book that's been released, numerous stuffed animals and figurines, household items like mugs and teapots, and loads of Christmas ornaments. (In the early days before the strips were collected in book form my mom would clip them out of the newspaper and glue them in notebooks for me. I still have those notebooks and will always treasure them!)

While I'm not adding to my collection as frequently as I used to, every now and then a piece catches my eye and I just have to have it, which was exactly the case earlier this week when I stumbled upon this Enesco figurine on eBay.

Other than Garfield himself his beloved teddy bear Pooky is my favorite character. Pooky brings out the soft side of Garfield and I always look forward to the strips that feature them together. This music box showing them dancing to I Could Have Danced All Night is so ridiculously adorable I couldn't resist. I just can't help but smile when I look at it.

Tomorrow is Garfield the Cat Day (and his 43rd birthday!)
