TBH I have no idea if he has actually lost his mum, one report said he had been separated from her at birth but the zoo planned to reunite them ASAP. I just thought it made a nice change from the backbiting, bitchiness and intolerance of some threads. Perhaps some people prefer them.
I had a lovely teddy bear I bought in a charity shop. He was quite big with a lovely smart outfit. Then I got all tidy-up-ish and sent him back to the charity shop. I miss him so much.
All babies are gorgeous BL - both human and animal (except maybe a baby parrot) Your little boy picture is very cute - I bet he looks a little different now!
MawB the baby gibbon with his teddy is lovely - we all need something to cuddle!
But he liked old babygrow's labels. Whilst still attached to the clothing.
He'd stagger around sucking his labels and dragging manky old babygrows with him
I would try to wash them but it caused major outrage. I'd extricate them from him when he was asleep but in the morning when he detected fresh smell he was not happy!
