I picked out a &#8220;Wheezy&#8221; plush doll (from Toy Story 2), a black and white penguin, with yellow feet and beak, and a small red bow tie. As he does in the movie, this stuffed animal has a squeaker inside, so when you squeeze the toy it squawks back. The size, colors, and sound were just right for her young enjoyment, and she has taken quickly to the toy. She can easily grab his wings to hold him, and sometimes enjoys putting his beak into her mouth.<\/p>\n<p>A little more than a month later, she was at Disneyland. Upon exiting the Toy Story ride, there are numerous movie related merchandise available to purchase. Imagine the look on her face as her young eyes saw an entire shelf full of Wheezy dolls on display. Though she couldn\u2019t speak it, one could see the little wheels turning in her head as she tried to process the sight of so many of her favorite doll \u2013 row after row, stacked deep on the shelves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_587\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-587\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"> &#8230;to there.&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-587     \" title=\"Wheezy Display\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glorajean.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/websized.jpg\" alt=\"What's the point of prolonging the inevitable?
