RIP - Teddy Bear



Teddy, lets remember you how you were. You were the tiniest toy, fitting perfectly in Mickey's little mouth. You were covered in pee the first time I met you and Mickey, but since you were washable you were allowed to remain in play.

Your first squeaker broke in two days, but luckily Jamal had bought a replacement. It was easy to do the transplant, thanks to the Velcro opening in your back.

You were the first favorite fetch toy. Your size meant Mickey could pick you up and still navigate the step. You feature prominently in the fetch video.


This picture is from Feb 21st and Mickey looks soooo tiny



Unfortunately, Mickey's natural instincts soon took over and as the days progressed, so did his skills at dismantling small toys. Soon you weren't allowed to be in the crate with Mickey because you couldn't stand all that love and attention. Before long, we made the tough decision to let you retire for good.


Rest in Peace little teddy bear. You were the most life-like prey that Mickey has ever had. Since you completed a squeaker donation card before you met this unfortunate end, your voice may live on in a future toy.

Teddy was made by Kong.
