There's a new addition to the menagerie:
At work I'm reading Pratchett's Making Money which features, on its cover, Mr Fusspot (Chairman of the Bank.)
When we got this stuffed pug in at work I cried out: "It's Mr Fusspot!" Now he shares cuddle-guard duty with Betty Widdersley-Brownlow (avatar name: Morg) the cat, over Praying Mantis the bunny. (Mantis prays 24/7, a feat she's only capable of if supplied with enough hugs.)
The three of them sit on the back of my couch and watch videos with me.

Nice menagerie! Right now I just have my knitted hedgehog who guards my bed and sleeps with me. He's very bouncy and can be dribbled like a basketball.
My cactus La Diabla is sick. I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't switch from plants to stuffed animals. They seem like so much less trouble.
A fearsome trio, indeed!
skye - Who knitted you a hedgehog? Sweet!
JJJ - I always kill plants, which is so depressing.
Mabel: a former co-worker knitted me one. She went through a phase of knitting them for friends, in return for us buying her the yarn for it, and then some yarn for a project of her own. Mine is the largest of them all. She knitted a set of three small ones for a friend who would juggle them. And some afternoons, we would have hedgehog wars in the hallway at work and hurl them at each other. They are wonderfully soft and bouncy!
