That is too sweet. I studied Harry Harlow's experiments in college with rhesus monkeys who clung to the stuffed monkey vs the wire one that had the food (it was a study on separation, isolation and the behavioral development of baby monkeys - I hated to read about it!). In this video, it is a happy event for the monkey has the comfort of the stuffed bear plus being fed.  bear_wub

Well now Karon, you next have to post pictures taken with your new camera. I too am looking for one. I just spent a lot of money buying a new washer/dryer and a diswasher. Funny how things wear out together. So next month a camera is on my list.

Take pictures- lots of them. Let us see them.

Well that is interesting. Love it.  :clap:

Pat I am the same way. I can't find something, I go out and buy another one. It is not worth the headache of searching for it. I really need to get organized!!!

Try cleaning it off with alcohol. Try it on a scrap piece of fur first. But it works wonders in getting ink out of my clothes.

Hello Teddy Bear Friends: A friend of mine is a professional artist. She makes dolls and paints pictures of them. She wants to explore doing doll making classes but wants to research and talk to other doll makers. I know many bear artist also make dolls. So here are my questions:

-What are comparable forums in dolls (like our Teddy Talk) where she can connect with other doll makers?
-Can anybody recommend people she can talk to ask her questions about delving into giving doll workshops? -Who are famous doll artists (cloth or porcelain) and do they have websites that she can look up.

Thank you all for your time.

Well that is just adorable. I recently became enamored with anime bears too. Something about the big head that makes them so sweet...

I'm so glad  you are getting a new puppy! Congratulations. I like Sue Annes name Bandito or Bandit. He has that bandit mask doesn't he? If you want more suggestions, how about the name Augustus (Gus, Gus for short). I had a Carine Terrier named Augustus Pegasis and we called him Gus as a nick name.

They are adorable.  bear_wub  bear_wub

Actually they were taken on the same day! Good eye there Bobby.  I needed photos for work on an award I was recieving and they wanted pictures of us surrounding our hobbies and interests....As you can see, my cats and bears are my ture joys in life....

Edie: same with me. To life a fork or spoon was difficult. I blame it on exercise. I hired a personal trainer to help me get into shape. She had me using weights that were too heavy for me and I got tendonitis in both arms. I am now a confirmed couch potato believing any form of exercise is dangerous to my health!

Michelle Helen

Oh horrors of horrors! Did you hear a thunk? That was me falling off my chair...I need my smelling salts!!!

Michelle Helen

Wow...that is really art isn't it? Fun website....

Becky wrote:Buy a box of disposable surgical masks at the pharmacy and wear them when you're trimming the fur from the seam allowances (maybe even when you're cutting out the pieces). Breathing in a lot of tiny fur fibers is hard on the old lungs.

Also wear the masks when stuffing too...
