My pets
Ok, so I don't really have pets. I had a hamster back in 1999 called Nibbles. He died on Christmas Eve after living a good couple of years. Thanks, Nibbles! Then we got some fish around 2003 but they all died within a couple of weeks. Other than that, I've been completely pet-free all my life.
However, I do have Fluffy. This will sound insane coming from a 25 year old woman, but my cuddly pig is my pet. I've had him since I was 9 and he's slept in bed with me practically every night. He's been on holiday with me, he was there to cuddle when I went through teenage break-ups and now he's part of my family. A couple of years ago, we put a bell around his neck and it gave him a little voice, of sorts. It's very sweet to hear him jingling away when he gets caught up in the bed covers.
In 2011, I was given George. He instantly became Fluffy's little brother. We found a smaller bell for him which has a higher pitched jingle and he has joined our little family.
Although they might not move around and interact like real pets, they're very low-maintenance. Not to mention that they're not going to run away or do a Nibbles!
Surely we all have a cuddly toy that we love, right?
they´re super cute!
ReplyDeleteThey say thank you heehee!
Deletethis is so funny as I am 41 and have a bear called Brunty who comes every where with me, even when I went over to NYC! haha
ReplyDeleteAaw that's so cute! I couldn't take Fluffy to Florida with me (I didn't have George then) because I was so terrified I'd lose him! I had to leave him at home with Rich looking after him!
DeleteI have a few cuddly toys that I like to cuddle from time to time, everyone does! If they say that they don't, then they're lying :)
ReplyDeleteThose two are so cute!

Haha I totally agree!
DeleteAw that's so cute! I have my dog and I'm a total fish lady. Was it just normal gold fish you had?

I'm not sure what they were. They were little fish and black with orange bits.
DeleteThis is adorable - I love the bells! "Pull a Nibbles" had me cracking up!
ReplyDeleteI have had a stuffed Labrador since I was four, named Blackie (very original naming as he's black) who ends up wherever he fits through moving.
Haha I love how children name their teddies! No imagination!
DeleteOther than my gremlins, I have a stuffed toy collection. My husband hates it, but he puts up with it. I also sleep with one every night!
ReplyDeleteAaw, how can he hate it? Stuffed toys are lovely!
DeleteSuch a cute post! Paige xo | A Paige At A Time
ReplyDeleteThank you Paige!
DeleteHaha! Made me chuckle. Here I was, expecting a kitty or puppy :)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE a puppy! One day we're going to get one!
DeleteAw they are adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're jingling with happiness that you said that!
DeleteMy best pal is a monkey named Mikey that I got when I was 10. Gee, that makes me sound cool!
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool!
DeleteThis isn't insane at all. At 25, I have a cuddly bear that was my mother's, however, he lives at the bottom of my bed. My collection of toys is still around though, and I've just been given a Paddington Bear! :)

Aaw that's so sweet!
DeleteI LOVE THESE LITTLE GUYS. I sleep with a cheshire cat teddy bear tucked under my arms, so i'm just as cool as you are!x
ReplyDeleteThey love you too. You're their Auntie Leona!
DeleteI was so happy when I read this on your about page and I had to click on it straight away!!! My husband thinks I am slightly crazy but I have my teddy since I was a baby and he comes everywhere with me! He is my favourite thing in the world and I would say he is most definitely like a pet. He has his own bed and I talk to him and any new teddy I get immediately has to be introduced! :p You are awesome!!!!! :)
