Doll-A-Day 2023 #317: Barbie's Toy Dog

   You know sometimes you buy a bunch of things and amongst them there is a  cute little thing, and you wonder, "hmm. I wonder what that goes to?" Today's 'doll' is one of those things that probably stumps a lot of people. 

 He's a cute felt dog, about a couple of inches tall.. He might be mistaken for a homemade dog. But he is, in fact, Barbie's toy dog, from one of the first Barbie fashions, Nighty Negligee.

Nighty Negligee was produced for the first five years of Barbie's history, (1959 to 1964.), meaning, there are quite a few of these guys around. 

They show up fairly often in lots of vintage Barbie stuff. However, since he is real wool felt, he sometimes has had run ins with critters smaller than himself, who have snacked upon him.

  That's today's doll. It will soon be the end of November, and you still haven't gotten last month's Doll Book of the Month! You will get one this month though. Two, if I'm really a good girl. Then December will be upon us, and we'll see how many Christmasy dolls I can come up with. Who knows? See you tomorrow.
