THURSDAY TWO TUXIE TALE

 I guess I could be called a Tuxie even though, technically,
I'm (charcoal) gray and white.

Today I'd like to share a tale about Biggie the Panda.
In all my 11 years I had never laid eyes on Biggie until
August 16, 2013.  You see Biggie is nearly 38 years old
and he has been tucked way for safe keeping.
Biggie belongs to my human sis. He was 
her very favorite stuffie in the world.
She got him for Christmas when she was 4 years old.

 Mom told me Biggie was my sissy's constant 
companion.  No matter where my sis was Biggie was there too.
 Then my Sis got big(gie), went off to school(ie),
finished school(ie) and moved into her own place(ie) then
she got married(ie) (15 years ago) moved to another cit(ie).  All the while Mom made sure Biggie was safe because she knew one day my Sis would ask about him. 

Mom says to be sure to notice the  black and white braided (friendship) necklace on Biggie...
My sis made that for him way back 38 years ago.   As you can see, Mom took good care of Biggie

Lo and behold, in a recent conversation Biggie came up...my sis said YOU STILL HAVE BIGGIE...Mom said of course(ie)!! Sis was surprised but as Mom told her never, ever would she send Biggie away. When Mom found out my sis and her hubby were visiting here Aug 16-18, 2013, she decided to put Biggie on the bed to welcome them into their bedroom.  The reunion was beautiful. 
Good friends like Biggie are the best!!

Mom wasn't sure how I'd react to Biggie.  This is the very first picture of me with Biggie taken just before my Sis arrived.  

 (Mom says to tell you  that is a sheet on top of the bedspread so that my furs stay here...I don't like to share them).

  3. Well done to Mom for keeping Biggie in such good shape. I would say you don't look as thrilled to be sharing a bed with him as I'm sure Sis(ie) will be.

    Ps. We are all very excited in Scotland because Edinburgh zookeepers believe that the female of the two real live pandas on loan from China is expecting a wee baby some time soon. But apparently it is hard to tell for sure if a panda really is pregnant!

  14. Oh Madi this story made my mom's eyes water! What a great Momma you do have! My Mom has a ratty little bear that Dad got her 15 years ago and he sleeps on their bed. We try to shake him and break his head but Dad always rescues him and puts him back on the bed.
    He got him for mom when she was in the hospital for comfort, now that she has me, I tell him she can put him away cos I am comfort enuf.
