Hello there :wavey:Meet Eric!

Eric the Elephant is the same age as me.
He didn't always used to be multicoloured :mmm:He first appeared blue, shiny and new, given to me when I was just a wee lil baby, however, I used to chew on his trunk, so that was the first to go :tongue:
Then the rest of him :rofl:
He got patched up at a local repairs shop in central Edinburgh, not far from where I used to live for the first few years of my little Cheesy life :teehee:
Now he lies in a shrine by my bedside :love:
He's where my love of elephants comes from @iEthan :elefant:

Post yours! Does yours have a story? Lets counteract the upcoming spookiness of Halloween with stories of cute cuddily goodness! :cute: :h:

I absolutely love elephants, they're so clever. They are known to grieve and bury their dead. :frown:
Amazing animals.
I used to have this godzilla puppet I used to put my hand in and control its mouth with. Sadly I haven't seen it for a good few years now or I'd show it off. :frown:

I have many soft toys, but this is the only one I have at uni with me as it is one of my favourites. This is Honey Junior, I have had him since I was a baby, so 20 years now!

My favourite childrenhood toy was a elephant similar to yours, but unfortunately it got lost when i moved about. :/ But my other favourite toy was a poples (bet no one knows what they are lol) which is like 40 years old was given to my mum when she was born and got passed to me when i was born :h:

:cry2:
Aw thanks for sharing, such a cute name :love:

I love teddies and soft toys! This is the perfect thread for me

Here's mine, and a story to go with him (excuse the white paint, he's so fragile that I don't want to scrub his paw too hard):

Don't get what you mean. I'm kind of slow so you have to explain things before hand. :smile:

You're welcome!! I understand you, although I love all of my teddies (I have a special elephant from London as well), Winnie is the most important. :smile: It's a little dark, but I always wonder what will happen to our teddies when we die, I mean our successors may not regard them with the same sentimentality as us. I hate to think of Winnie not being kept safe and loved (but I could never give them away - unlike Andy). Probably why Toy Story resonates so strongly with me :redface:

I've had him 24 years. His name is Fatcat. My grandparents gave him to me when I was four days old.
