Youdle – he’s a bear
Youdle is over 30 years old, which makes him a senior citizen in terms of the life of a teddy bear, oh sure there are antique bears but most of them are not alive with the magic that only a child can animate them with. Once the child stops believing then the bear becomes just a pile of stuffing and fabric ready for another person to give him life. Youdle was brought to life in the UK then shipped to Hong Kong in a packing crate and again, years later in a box to Peoria USA, he has had a lot of surgery’s and his ears have holes where Sonja, well, I don’t even want to know what she did to his ears but they are worn clean through.
Youdle is my sister’s bear, the last surviving member of the time when there were many animals that had personalities, and while she is very much a responsible grown up she still has that connection with her childhood when Youdle was born. Now her daughter is enjoying the magic of Youdle!
I’ve owned Youdle.com since 2004 and this is it. Youdle doesn’t mind. This post is dedicated to Jean aka Cheerful Monk as I think she understands, at least her recent blog post made me think so!
And Youdle believes that the purple squirrel is a miracle rather than a freak of nature as miracles are more fun!

I can relate!
About 15 years ago, my girlfriend at the time gave me a teddy bear for Christmas. Kind of a cute romantic gift.
The bear developped a life of it’s own. I brought him as a good luck bear on my travels.
The girlfriend is long since gone, but the bear still travels with me. He’s been to the Empire State Building, the Great Barrier Reef, the Grand Canyon, the Arctic Ocean, Mount Rushmore, (heck, I’m lost count).
