Since it's Teddy Bear Day, I thought I'd take the opportunity to share a picture of each of our childhood favourites. Mine is on the left and Christopher's is on the right. I had more than one favourite really, but for one thing, this guy was probably the one that was with me most often and for another, this one is actually a bear! Christopher's is a dog.
I got this bear as a gift for my first Christmas and we were quickly quite hard to separate. I named him Rupert because to my tiny person mind he looked like Rupert Bear from the comic strip annuals (he was usually a white bear but on the cover of the annuals his fur was always yellow). Christopher thinks his dog, Dakota, joined him when was about 6 or so.
