>I was doing a search for an alarm clock I am trying to locate and you described it perfectly. My daughter used her saxophone playing purple wolf clock through college and needs a replacement for grad school. The wolf says "It's time to get up so you can get down" Any suggestions on where to find it? The store we originally purchased it has closed. Thanks CJ. Hope you got all you wanted for Christmas!
