Hello!
I have a few questions about growlers.  I've bought a couple and wanted to know if there's a preferred way of placing them.  Meaning is it more common to growl on the way into a hug or away from the hug...which way to you place it???   I did search the library and found one thread, but it was mostly about liquid soap and chocolate bars    

I saw in that thread that lots of folks think the growlers sound like moo'ers, but I've also searched out a few sound files and bears do have that kind of sound. So, with so many more users out here now and so many more being collectors I'd like to ask again....do you like a bear with a growler??  Would a growler turn you off from a bear? 

:hug:

Hi Chrissi,

I love bears with growlers!  All my big bears ALWAYS have a growler.  I like to place them so the bear growls as he comes towards you for a hug (ie holey bit pointing out towards back seam).  I like to use good quality cardboard growlers, they seem to offer a nicer growl than some of the plastic ones.  By the way, you could always insert a double growl by binding two growlers together side by side, each pointing the opposite way to the other .. that way he can growl coming and going!

Bernard is the first bear I have made with a growler. He growls when you tilt him towards you.

I used one of the plastic ones, and to be honest the sound reminds me of a sheep.    But, it makes me chuckle every time I hear it, and I think it suits Bernard to a tea.
