SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT HENRIETTA HAS A NEW PAL
Ma took these photos of me and my little pal who I love very much, he is very quiet and we share my sweets and I read him stories. I do love hm very much even though he has a frayed head an doesn't have any fur but he is a clean and tidy bear and washes and presses his own clothes. In fact I have asked him to do my washing for me which is really cool as I only need to tempt him with sweets and ice cream and he runs off straightaway to help me. I don't ask him to do too much as he is small and his pads will wear out. He is almost as photogenic as me but not quite as good looking, love Henrietta xxxx
