Since WW is coincident with Groundhog Day (in the US and Canada), I decided to feature Herman, a stuffed groundhog. I have had him since I was about four years old. One can tell he was a much loved toy – he was pretty much is his current worn-out state by the time I was about 8 or 9. But here he is several decades later. When not taken out for photos, he now resides in prominent location in a glass display cabinet.
so is kitty hermans shadow? if so we see it. if not well, he blends in so well with the rug we almost did not see him and therefore no shadow; but we still see kitty !!
We have a dog named Boppie that my father gave my mother before he proposed to her. Boppie’s supervised the sleep of three children and five grandchildren, while having been restored twice. He too occupies a safe and special place.
For all those who asked if Herman saw his shadow – the answer is yes and I hope that means six more weeks the weather we have been having. 60-67F and sunny in San Francisco
We just came in from Florida, and are unable to pick up our kitties (and dog) due to the blizzard conditions in Illinois; I loved looking at the pictures of your cats. Even the groundhog! I miss mine so much. Cat, that is, not groundhog.
What a great idea to feature your groundhog, Herman, today for Groundhog Day! I also still have a childhood stuffed animal that I received for my 1st Christmas, a stuffed duck. Today you wouldn’t know it was a duck unless I told you – Squeaky was a very much loved duck!
Luna looks lovely as always! I featured China Cat today as she doesn’t like the cold and she would be very happy if Spring is really here in six weeks!

Wow, I wished I had kept my favorite childhood stuffed animal. Does Herman sees its own shadow?

I agree, it seems to be a part of the rug, but a cute part.

Your kitty looks ready to tear this groundhog up if he says “More Winter!” I approve.
I was late with WW this week; I have a new one up now
Happy WW!

Oh…Herman is so sweet. I am happy to hear he is enjoying retirement, as a treasured stuffie.
February 2nd, 2011 at 8:31 am
I have my childhood stuffed animal too. I wouldn’t mind 6 more weeks of winter.
February 2nd, 2011 at 8:52 am
A new doll ? How cute !
February 2nd, 2011 at 9:43 am

At least the cat isn’t perturbed by Luna.

I agree. Perfect WW for Groundhog day!

Happy Groundhog Day! Love Herman and Luna!

The cat seems not much impressed by the ground hog’s prognostications!
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Happy WW! How neat you still have that!

Perfect to get Luna with Herman! Both look so content! If Herman stays inside, that means he didn’t see his shadow, right?!?
February 3rd, 2011 at 3:27 pm
hee hee
Completely cute!
February 4th, 2011 at 5:23 am
Haha…no shadows there…YAY!

Luna is so classy and polite. She knows how valuable a childhood toy is and respectfully leaves it alone.
