This puppy is soooooo incredibly soft! It surprised me at first with the shimmer strands but it feels like butter and just melts into the surrounding fur. The size is perfect, not too big or small. I like the added weight of the beads in the paws too, instead of it being only stuffed. This puppy is beautiful, luxurious, cuddly, and worth every penny! Not to mention the gorgeous coloring, it's a steal! I immediately ordered the rest of the shimmer collection and I'm so excited to receive them!
