I left me bear in a motel room in Port Macquarie when I was about 7 and I’ve never recovered from the trauma….... funny cause he looked just like this bear….. Nice image Shaz :-)
This is so beautiful! I was given my teddy bear on the day I was born (also only about 25 years ago – another hilarious joke!!!), and he’s the first thing I would grab if the house caught on fire -the dog knows her own way out LOL
