My wonderful sister, who gave me Dolly, read my post about her<\/a> and called me. Why did I need to fashion something for her to stand on? I explained that she wouldn’t balance on the 2″ diameter circle at the bottom of the pipe.<\/p>\n

When she bought it, they said the base came with it. Didn’t I get the base? She emailed me a picture of what it should look like. Nope, not here. <\/p>\n
