Question of the Day: Thurs. Sept. 1 2011

G'day folks.

Let's talk: Stuffed Animals.

Do you have some? How old is your oldest? What is your favorite? Anything you'd like to share about stuffies?

I have loads

My favourite one is my 5ft teddy bear that Blaine got me for our second christmas together

My oldest is nick named Big red and ive had him since I was born

Ive got a few Gizmo's (from the film Gremlins) and the PG Tips Monkeys

Hmm hoarded away somewhere is my My Pet Monster. That is my oldest and my favorite is my purple and pink gorilla named Boogah.

DF has a stuffed animal named Chester. I got it for him for our first V-day together and its a fireengine red cheetah with a biker vest on. LOL He has a place of honor on our dresser.

I hate stuffed animals and I always end up throwing them away.
My Mom bought each of the boys a teddy bear with clothing that said "Dakin's First Christmas", "Corbin's First Christmas" and "Tysin's First Christmas"

And I even threw those away

*sidenote* My first kitteh of my very own was named Gysmo after Gremlins cuz he had this stripe up his head like one of em from the movie.

Oh and Gremlins was the first movie I ever saw in theater LOL

I have an orange and white stuffed kitty that meows when you press his paw. My mom got him for me when one of my former fosters passed away.

I have about 10 large Rubbermaid style tubs filled with them . All of them are various exotic/domestic animals. They also all look "realistic". I have had them all since my youth. So they are getting old like me . I would say my favorite one is my Duck Billed Platypus.

If anyone wants to see some just just let me know .

I have quite a bit, though not many in SC with me. A lot of them are still at my parents' house in NC.

I do have my oldest, Teddy, a brown squished teddy bear I was given the day I was born. His nose is flattened from me sleeping on it for so many years. I also carried him down the aisle at my half-sister's wedding rather than flowers when I was the flower girl

When I was born, way back in 1955 (I'm an oldie, but goodie), my grandmother gave me a white stuffed bunny. I put that poor bunny through the wringer, but still managed to keep her for years. Even after I got married, my bunny was on my pillow on our bed every day.

When Hurricane Agnes hit, in 1972, I lost my bunny; we couldn't salvage the poor thing. Out of all the things that we lost that time, the loss of my bunny hurt me the most. The most cherished losses are not money or "things". The worst losses are those that cannot ever be replaced. My grandmother gave me that bunny and I loved her very much.

I've had other stuffed animals and such throughout the years. But I really loved my bunny.

I have many stuffed animals. My oldest one is a border collie puppy that I got when I was in elementary school.

My favorite is the stuffed fox that I sleep with.

I have a cute little reindeer beanie baby a sweetie from TCS sent me when I was really down. I would not part with it for anything. It sits out all year long. I have a a snowman beanie that a lovely choir left for me when I was in the hospital last Christmas. I was having something done and was out of my room at the time, so I only got to hear them from down the hall.

i only have one very special Pillow Pet that LDG sent me after Bella died. It's a blue dolphin. I cried on it many many nights and it got me through. Now Turtle has adopted it. I'm just glad it's too big for her to carry off somewhere

I am not saying if I have any stuffies or not.

All my childhood stuffed toys are gone but I have a couple from my Aunt Eileen she gave me for my last couple of hospital visits. I guess my fave is Comfort Kitty, a calico that soaked up many a tear when I was in chronic pain after my auto accident in 2006.

His growl.

A pink Gund bear that is twenty six years old . Given to me by my DH

No--I have enough of the REAL ones around my house!

Then again, stuffed ones don't require litter boxes...hmmm....

I still think about my Childhood bear, Mr. Sparkly. He was a white bear with tinsel, sparkly fur and a silver bow tie (that I'd make him a girl if I put the tie on his ear, lol). I miss him, and no idea what happened to him

Right now, I have a stuffed raccoon puppet that I named Rikki.. got him on a camping trip whiling visiting Martha's Vineyard when I was about 10, 11? I've slept with him for so many years, and I still do when I need some comfort (yes, I need a boyfriend, lol).

I have several dragon stuffed animals that I've collected, but recently packed away to make my apartment more 'grown up', lol
