I found him on the toy table at the Salvation Army,
looking sad and puzzled.
He looks a bit shaggy, but I think he was a sleep bear,
not a play-with bear, since he's old but not worn. Just
matted. All in all, a good day in all directions.

Custard-- Letters from the Rescue Bear Society

He's a Good Boy.Very glad he agreed to give your house a try.
ReplyDeleteI do not want to be known as the Bear Lady, but being a Rescue Home for Bears and Stray Cats is cool. Now and then one will appear in a store display (the bears, not the cats) or idling along in the toy section. And suddenly there I am at the check out counter with a new bear. Or, as in this case, a very old one.
DeleteI do sometimes wonder who would--or could--part with a bear like this?
It is always nice to have a bear around the house.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true. My first bear (MISTER Bear to you, madam) was a drugstore rescue bear, over 35 years ago. He rode home with me, head out of the bag, looking quite pleased with himself. Little Bear followed a few years later. And Scrappy Bunny, with looks that could kill and a mean straw hat.
DeleteAnd now Custard. He seems to be getting along nicely, which is always a relief, on all sides.
The cats don't seem to mind at all.
that is such a lovely photo. it speaks of comfort and love and home.
ReplyDeleteThank you. He's fitting in well with the other bears, no arguments (they've all been where he was), and they are more than willing to share desserts with him. Bears love desserts.
