While many people have pets which are soft and warm to cuddle, I have substituted them with stuffies, little soft stuffed animals. There used to be many more who lived with my children, but they (children grew up) have all gone.
This is Boo Boo Bear. He's named after a cartoon bear from the 60s...but doesn't look like him. I mainly wanted a black bear in case I should move away from Black Mountain NC, where these bears visit so many garbage cans of the area!
I've a few more, which I've already shared with y'all.

Saturday's Critters with Eileen!
I like your bear collection. I have a bear similar to your black bear that I got in a National Park.
ReplyDeleteOnce I decided I wanted one, it took some shopping in toy departments to find Boo Boo. Many others were stiff or just not at all cuddly.
DeleteI have a little collection of bears, all from a deceased friend, when I helped clear her house. There were dozens of brand new bears intended for children, she worked in a school, and I managed to get them distributed except for a few, so they stayed.
ReplyDeleteI do like your bear that you have sitting with a friend on your blogs.
DeleteI remember Boo Boo. He was Yogi’s sidekick in Jellystone National Park. Yogi was smarter than the average bear ab=nd expert a nabbing picnic baskets. Would you like me to sing the theme ditty?
ReplyDeleteI also remember Yogi Bear...and thought it funny that he was called so close to baseballs Yogi Berra. Kids didn't know however, and Hannah Barberra went on to produce many more cartoons.
DeleteI'm a Leo too. Occasionally I do get in touch with that part of myself.
ReplyDeleteI have bears and a Babar and a vintage Zippy chimp and a stuffed owl and other comforting creatures around. You never get too old for that.
Oh, now I want a Babar. My initials are BBR, so I'd stick an a between them and sign paintings that way for a while. BaBaR.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the stuffed bear collection, very cute. The painted stone is beautiful too, well done. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend. PS, I appreciate your comment on my blog.
Thanks again for hosting Saturday's Critters.
DeleteThey're all very cute. I'd like to give them a little squeeze and cuddle.
ReplyDeleteThe fun is that they all pass the softness test. No way I want a prickly bear, nor pear either.
