I made my husband stop so I could rescue a poor lost teddy bear from the sidewalk.... after ascertaining that he belonged to nobody, he was admitted to Sara's BICU (bear intensive care unit), unstuffed with hemostats, shampooed x2 with Herbal Essences, and is now in the dryer awaiting his exchange transfusion of fiberfill...

Not quite how I thought my evening would end, but I saved a life

Somebody probably once loved that little bear very much, and I'm sure they would appreciate what you've done for him:-)

Good for you! I hope you're the one who comes upon me when I'm down on the side of the road.

A baby bird (barn swallow) fell out of the nest today in our horse barn.

I saw it happen.....SPLAT! I was traumatized. The mommy and daddy were just having fits, swooping in and out of the barn. I was in tears.

(Been very emotional this week) My wonderful husband took it to our animal grave-yard and buried it. No questions asked! God love him!

Thank you for saving the bear.

RIP little barn swallow.

It was in front of a frat house... the man who answered the door said that he wasn't sure whose it was, and that it may have functioned as a dog toy. The latter was borne out by a sniff test.

Well... I had 50-odd bears growing up. I took two with me when I moved out (one bought by parents in East Germany, one a 3rd birthday gift)... told Mum I'd come back for the rest. She took them to the dump claiming mice infestation. Somehow my National Geographics survived totally un-nibbled in the same room. :angryfire:

In the course of finding a teddy bear for my niece's 2nd birthday, I acquired two more... then my MIL sent a pair "rescued" from a yard sale. Tonight's rescue makes seven.

I would've picked it up too...I can't stand the thought of things like that not having a 'home' LOL...I've still got stuffed animals I got as a kid because I think I take better care of them than other people would! lol

I lost my stuffed bear riding my motorcycle through New Mexico a couple of years ago. Apparently I did not have him bungeed on well enough.

I still mourn his loss.

I will pretend someone like you found him and gives him a good home.

Thanks for being there.
