All my friends

This is Edward Bear. He is the oldest bear in our house. Mummy says he came from the children's home with her and he is her only link to the past. Edward has been to lots of places and even got married once! Most of his stuffing has gone now although he still has both his eyes. If he turns over you can see his real fur under his tail.

This bear doesn't have a name but he was saved from a rubbish tip so we call him Rescued Bear. He really is in a sorry state, missing both his eyes and his paws going threadbare but he sits proudly in the hallway with Edward and together they ruminate on the past.

Diddles was born in the Bear Factory just a few weeks ago. He loves to play all types of sports, hence the shirt. His nickname is brainless because although the makers gave him a heart they forgot to add any brains! He is good tempered but gets tired easily. Maybe that's because he's still very young.

This fine looking bear is Fusby Bear. He has a long pedigree, coming as he does from Hamley's toy shop in London, although he was originally from Gund, wherever that is! He is quite a famous bear and if I ever send you an email his picture is on the stationary with my name. Mummy got a bit mixed up!

Casey Panda isn't really a teddy bear but he's a good friend of mine. He is the newest addition to our family and he's still finding his paws. I like him because he doesn't like the same food as me so he never takes anything I like. He got his name from Casey Jones the engine driver.

This is Fluffybunnikins. He came home at the same time as me and we have been together ever since. He now has some other bunny friends but he still likes me. He spends a lot of time in the spare room sitting on the bed and hopping around.

This little doggie is called Tinker. He is proud to be a Ty toy and is well house-trained. He was found on the M5 motorway when we were going to the Eclipse last year. He was put in the rucksack with me in the coach and we soon became friends. Now he sits on the best cushion on the sofa.

Little NuNu is very shy and has hardly said a word since he arrived. I try hard to make him join in with our games but he prefers to sit with the Wombles. He has his birthplace, Next, stamped on his paw and also on his jumper. Why anybear would need that is beyond me.

This is a huge bear called Truffles. Mummy went shopping one day and saw him sitting all alone in a shop so she brought him home. He might be big but he is very gentle and kind. He helps look after the new bears and the babies and he too has had his paw branded.

Smartie Bear sits in the book cupboard and likes it! We think he's really a waiter on holiday because he has the same sort of clothes.

Bubbles will not go anywhere without his little friend Squeak. They came home from a carboot sale with mummy and like living here. Bubbles had to take all his clothes off because they had to be washed, even he went in the washing machine. Won't catch me doing that!

This is Ruggles. He came home to us last week after being found at the market. A nasty man owned him and kept him locked up in a garage at the bottom of a big bag. Daddy rescued him and now he thinks he owns the place. Mummy bought me a new chair but Ruggles sits in it and pretends to be King.

Humfrey was brought home just after Christmas when Mummy and Daddy went to the sales. He likes to play with Huckle but sometimes he's rude and has to have 'time out'.

This is Hector Bear. It took me two days to find out his name as he is a bit of a joker. He pretends to be different bears and likes to play pranks on us.
