Oh dear Shelli, you ARE Teddy Talk. How are we going to manage without you? I foresee severe withdrawal symptoms for us and for you 
Love your long and insightful posts, don't worry. 

Very cute bear Mary. If I didn't know he is crocheted I wouldn't see it. These fuzzy threads are difficult to crochet with. Kudos to you.  :clap:

:hug:

Wow, I'm in love. Lovely bear.  :clap:

This is so much fun Judi. Thank you so much for taking us on this tour. I only wish I could come over for real. You know, when I was little I dreamed of marrying a farmer. Didn't work out, but i'm way to lazy for that kind of commitment anyway. 

:hug:

Fabulous Judi! If she doesn't want him, send him to me. 

Adorable and so distinctively your style Kim!  :clap:  :clap:

Welcome Mary! I am glad you found your way here. Could be me who posted that link you followed, as I have been promoting TT on other boards. You'll love it here.

Hugs

Beautiful bear! Another happily finished swap.  :clap:

Awww, now he is adorable. Amazing what such a seemingly small detail can do. :clap:

Eating is a pleasure of life. Heck, I'd rather not get as old as Methuselah if it means I have to stop eating what I like. Just make sure you don't damage your health.      :hug:

Freaking me out, sorry. 

Love him Tammy. Lucky you Debbie!  :clap:

Gosh, what a wonderful bear. Congratulations Kelly! Great job Lynn!   :clap:

Aren't you thelucky one Kim. A Sassy bear no less. So cute. :clap:

Gorgeous unusal face. Lucky you.  :clap:

Gorgeous sweet golly! Lucky you Sandi. Well done Dilu! :clap:  :clap:

Beautiful golly, Dilu!  :clap:  :clap: No idea what a sock hop girl is, so looking forward to some enlightening pics 

I just took one of my own nature photos and put it in the background of my avatar. Then I put some bears and text on top and painted the edges with a fancy brush (snowflakes). You can go outside and take closeups of grass, tree bark, any kind of surface you like.

Oh Kassie, don't feel bad for having told us.  :hug: Even old animals deserve to be nurtured and saved if possible. 11 years is very old for a rabbit indeed, I have never heard of one being 14 years old before. You must be a very good rabbit care taker!
I am so sorry he has to be put down. It is difficult every time. I had to put down a horse many years ago and still can't help wondering if I could have done anything to save it. Heck, I used to keep aquaria and felt sad for every dead fish (they die often), but some lived for over 10 years and fish have personalities too.
Don't feel you can never share a story with us again. On the contrary, I feel privileged to have been allowed to share your grief and hopefully give some support.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug: 

Awww Dilu, now your pretty house really looks like an igloo. I envy you living in the forest like that.

You do that Penny. Then I come rescue him and he will be soooo grateful.     

Oh, I love fresh snow too. Just by now I'm really tired of it. This winter doesn't seem to end ever.

:hug:  :hug:

You guys crack me up   

Penny, I think I will have to fight you for him.  :twisted:  That pic is just too much.     Do you think the poor guy knows what we are doing to him?  :redface:

Love your new avatar Penpen :hug:  :hug:

Wonderful news Helena. I know how much you must have worried. My mother had breast cancer at age 38 (she is still with us) and I can't completely eliminate the thought 'what if its hereditary?' I'm 43 now.

Love your new avatar!
