WanTEd : LOviNG HomE FoR OlD FoX

Foxy looking old timer looking for loving home. 

Bertie has an idea of where he would like to live.   He has taken rather a fancy to the cottage in this print.  I told him I had taken rather a fancy to it too, but that's not quite enough to make it happen. 

He said he wouldn't mind somewhere slightly smaller seeing as he is a little unsteady on his legs these days, and did not have a current lady friend to accommodate.

I said I wouldn't mind somewhere slightly smaller either, so long as it looked just like the cottage in the print and had a garden just like it too.  Again, I told him that's still not quite enough to make it happen.

He said he quite liked sitting on the suitcase and staring at the picture for large amounts of time anyhow.

I said I quite liked doing that too, although I would not attempt to sit on the suitcase whilst doing it.

He shifted around a bit, after saying that sitting in the same position too long made his old limbs stiff, and I admired his black tip on the end of his tail, and his mighty fine polka dot tie.

He said he liked to do his best to look presentable, even in his dotage, and that the black tip on his tail came from his mother's side.

 

I said I didn't think it mattered where he lived so long as he was loved.

He cleared his throat, whilst looking down shyly at his slightly worn paws, and whispered..

'.. that is what I'm hoping for '....

Bertie is handmade by me from my own design.  He is made from 100% pure German mohair with the kindest looking amber German glass eyes.  He is filled with polycotton to give him a more huggable appeal, and is filled with steel shot and sand for weight and texture.  His mohair has been aged and distressed by me to give him a time worn appearance, along with his polka dot tie. 

He is one of my new smaller designs so he when standing me measures 11 inches from the top of his ear to his toe, although he cannot stand unaided.

BERTIE IS A COLLECTORS BEAR AND NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 14

Bertie's adoption fee is £115.00 plus his travel fare to his new home.  If you would like to adopt Bertie please email us here. 

SOLD, thank you x

Bertie wanting to look smart made me think of my Dad - until the end, he always wore shirt, tie and sports jacket, even though the furthest he could go (hobbling on his zimmer) was the little shop just yards from his home!! I'm very jealous Sal Snippet visited you - I will have to persuade Malcolm that we need a holiday 'down south'!!

I find your stuffed animals so beautiful but Bertie really tugged at my heart. Such a handsome little fox!!! I would have loved to have come live at my house.

Bertie is very lovely - I hope he will be happy in his new home...even if it isn't a chocolate box cottage!
