Menagerie (doo doo do do-doo)*

[royalmarriage]

(*To be sung to the tune of Mahna Mahna. Of course).

My collection.



Left to right:

Ted. I've had him since I was about two. He's increasingly threadbare, but I still love him.

Melody Pond Otter. So named because I bought her at the Oceanarium in Bournemouth at the same time as entering a competition to name their two new otters, and I decided that Rory Pond Otter and Amy Pond Otter would be good names for them, so Melody Pond Otter would be a good name for mine.

Lion. As yet unnamed. Bought him last month when we were at the 360 Theatre's production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Am contemplating calling him Aslan, but I think that would be a bit pretentious.

Pieter Rand the Wolf. Bought earlier this year from the gift shop at Nerja Caves in Spain. The name is, why yes, an appalling pun.

Why yes, I am a 42-year old man with a collection of cuddly toys which keep me company in bed. And?

Let's start a support group: I'm a 30 year old woman and I have Scruff the *very* threadbare cat who's almost as old as I am, Basil Brush, Ridcully the Black Labrador wizard, O'Neill the black and white cat in desert camo, Wuffles the terrier, at least 12 different foxes... the list goes on. :-)

Oh, and no less than four Beeblebears, though I'm not sure they count as an ordinary soft toy!

Edit: And I *love* the name of your wolf!

:-) Support group started.

Yes, I've got a Beeblebear too. I forgot to include him in the picture, because he's downstairs at the moment. I swear when I passed him on the stairs he was giving me a sad look as if to say, "why did you forget me? You cruel man." I feel suitably chastised... :-)

I'm glad you appreciate my terrible sense of humour!!!

I was thinking you might name the lion after the lion from the White Witch's Courtyard, which Aslan revived, but apparently his name is not recorded.
