Because a bear gets cold too sometimes

Last night when I was finishing off Dennis I saw him eyeing off my beanie and scarf ( it's cold in my house). And I realised i had always assumed because of their fur bears didn't feel the cold. Obviously I was wrong.

I actually had wanted to make him a little beanie, but even 3 failed attemps- it seemed I was unable to escape that they all look like shower caps rather than beanies i think perhaps because of his round head and his sticky out ears. At which point Dennis kindly informed me that he would be most satisfied with a scarf instead.

Anyway Dennis is a quiet little thugwomp of bear, loves the warm, snuggles, electric blankets all that. He's made of the most beautiful baby alpaca yarn so snuggling with him is no chore, it is so soft and gorgeous the touch. ( if I ever have the yarn on me beware as I am known to insist "you must rub your face it")

Dennis loves warm apple crumble with milk and his favourite thing to do other than the above is talk to his pet ducks Lucy, Edith and Margorey.
