Thanks, Dave! It’s fun to hear about “Snuggles the Dog.” I’d love to see a picture!

Thanks, Suzanne! Remember how the two of us would arrange our stuffed animals “just so” on our beds? As if it was the most serious task of the day! Ha!

Steve, thanks! I think you must be right about that…I never thought of the storyteller aspect but it makes so much sense. Now, looking back, I remember acting out stories with my little cats. 🙂

A few years ago I started a website http://www.saidtheskinhorse.com to celebrate these special toys. It’s a labor of love, I don’t make any money fron the site — it’s just a place for people to share pictures and sometimes stories of their favorite toys. Right now we have around 1,600 toys on the site!
