Survivors from my childhood. From left to right: Toffee, Lindy-Lou, Tessie and Proteus. All squashed into the chair I used to sit on, and which recent research suggests my father made from another Utility chair.
Companionable
And my living breathing furry companion, MasterB.
Feline Companion
I very nearly posted one of my last pictures of Mother, clutching the leg of Bear, who went into the coffin with her. Maybe later. I don’t know.
More of this week’s challenge here.
Isobel (and Cat)'s Blog 
Love all your companions.
Thanks Ruth. 🙂
The expressions on their faces make me think they might be afraid of the cat?
Oddly, I have never seen him sit on them or pay any attention to them at all!
I wish I had saved a toy from my youth, but I do not remember having stuffed animals, just a couple of dolls…. cute furry companion… sprawled on the bed like he owns it.
The menagerie has been added to recently, with Mother’s ‘Raffe and Sheep.
These are precious and MasterB looks pretty cozy.
He’s good at that look. 🙂
Lovely old friends….I have a few I’ve kept including my now 65-year old teddy. But my favorite friend is my furry one, Sam – just as you have your MasterB.
Pam
Yes, MasterB is the best. 🙂
Oh I love your companions too Isobel. I am a bear collector and that little bear in the lap of Toffee is awesome.. 🙂 I am like Pam and still have my very first Teddy that is soon to be 62 years old!
Toffee is the bear! I have had him since I was a day old, a gift from my godparents. He wouldn’t be given to a child now, his eyes come out on metal pins. The doll is Lindy Lou. Tessie Bear (named after the bear in the Noddy stories, of which I was a huge fan) was completely flat at one point, but re stuffed by my aunt.
Beautiful contrasts!
Thanks Julia. 🙂
