My First Boyds Bear


My first Boyd’s Bear was purchased in 1995, I think, at Dillards. I didn’t know he was a Boyd’s Bear, only that he was very cute and so we bought him for me. I love Teddy Bears, but hadn’t much of a collection, just a few odds and ends.

Mr. Teddy Bear 1995 was to be my first of a collection that has grown and grown, by small leaps, not large, and not into a mountain, but large enough.

My bear, I do not know his name. I “think” he may be “DINK” but I”m not sure. He was missing for several months, and I just found him last week, when going through some Winter clothing in the closet. My bear! Oh I’d looked for him many times, fruitless labor. I missed him.

Here he is: Two different views, to get the idea of what he looks like.

  1. Thanks Tamara! He’s my sweetie, whether or not I know his “official name”. I never gave him a name, just “My bear”. As in “Where’s my bear?” or “Honey, you are laying on my bear!” or “My bear is missing, you know, MY BEAR!”

    Kind of like My Documents, or My Desktop, or My Pictures. 🙂
