Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I've seen the story of Knut on the TV, made the news. It is great that Berlin Zoo have taken him on - okay it is not ideal but it is so much better than having him put down. I really do have my doubts sometimes about these so called animal rights people. We are loosing so many of our wildlife as it is.
Okay, had my say on the soap box

What a clever boy Baily is and thanks for sharing the lovely pictures of both the boys. Oh a lovely Lhasa, how I miss those little guys    As you know I was very involved with that breed for many years (showing & breeding & committee member for one of the UK clubs) and would love to have them again but I think the heat would just be too much for them here.

Hugs Lyn 

Thanks for sharing the pictures of your Winter Wonderland which looks very pretty but.......no thanks! Good to know you are all okay though. Not a stranger to that kind of weather as I have lived on Long Island, New York, still don't like it though 

Hugs Lyn

Anubis will be back to normal tomorrow and dogs and cats do heal quite quickly from that type of operation. When one of my dogs was desexed she was bouncing around all over the place about an hour after I brought her home! I kept trying to remind her that she had just had an operation and to stay calm - would not listen    I could see myself having to go back to the vet's and have the stitches re-done. Everything work out fine in the end, thank goodness!

Not sure if this sounds like fun but I'll join in anyway    For years I stayed at 21 then decided better up it a bit so moved to 25 then took a big leap and landed in the 40's    Feels pretty good hanging around in there but like everyone else I had better hold my hand up to now being 54, big sigh! I always like to think of myself as young at heart! 

Lyn 

How cute is that! Yep, has to be a boy and I love those noses, lovely colours!  :dance:

Okay, I'm watching this space.......... Hugs Lyn 

I love a good book and reading and always like to get some reading in at some time during the day and I always have to read in bed at night and I'm lucky if I get pass a couple of pages before nodding off and throwing the book - usually in hubby's direction 
I am about half way through a Kathy Reichs book called 'Bare Bones'.

Hugs Lyn 

Hi Ginny

Yep, that is just the right mohair when it comes to making those long coated dogs and you can find that mohair on www.edinburghimports.com
Click on 'Fabric' and then click on 'Choose by Style' and the 3" pile mohair is at the top of the list. Hope this is of help 

Hugs Lyn 

Yep, definatley a boy and very cute he is too

I have the Samsung flatscreen 19" and wouldn't have anything else now. We liked it so much we bought another one for the other PC  Best place to buy is off the Internet much cheaper - try this site www.pricepoint.com.au
The only down side to them is that you have to set the display resolution to the same as the LCD which is usually 1280x1024 but there are many pluses for these screens 

Hugs Lyn 

Thanks for that Maria and the same to other people on here in Australia 

Hugs Lyn  :dance:

:clap:  :clap: How exciting for you all and well done to everyone - really pleased for you all  :dance:  :dance:

Hugs Lyn     

:dance: Yep, we also saw it and hubby got a couple of reasonably pictures and so did a friend of ours.

Hugs Lyn 

Yep Chloe you do look like your bear especially when you look at the second picture. I reckon we do look like our bears in one way or another. It definatley happens in dogs - I use to see it all the time having been part of the dog showing scene for a good many years.

Hugs Lyn

I have seen those pictures before but they still WOW! me as they are just so amazing 

Hugs Lyn 

Hang in there the puppies are just great! The urge to create another bear will come soon enough.

Hugs Lyn 

I've come across the same problem as you Susan - all the overseas teddy bear magazines have disappeared from the newsagent where I live, big sigh! Anyway, I subscribe to the following magazines....

Australian Bear Creations
Teddy Bear Scene
Teddy Bear Club International
Teddy Bear and Friends

I enjoy all the magazines and always look forward to receiving them 

Hugs Lyn 

:clap: Congrats Chloe! Great news!  :dance:  :dance:

Hugs Lyn 

Checked out your website Sandi and it is looking good!! Dare I say I like it better than the previous one 

Hugs Lyn
