thanks, folks!

sue f, he's 9" at the shoulder when on all 4's. he's about 12" seated. (but my last bear, Grizzleda, was 5" at the shoulder, or about 1/2 this size.)

sue j - isn't that a great fur? it's from a piece of Tissavel I bought in '96, when I first started. sadly, they don't make it anymore, the dum dummies
