Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

The Gromen/Butler household was attacked at the end of last year by these furry little critters. They reproduce fast if you expose them to water. Fortunately, we were able to find homes for them all. Although, I just realized that this picture was taken pre-operation. We had to get them fixed before we gave them away.

As you can see from this photo, most of the kreatchers have button noses. Well, we were informed by a seasoned parent that that is a nono for youngins. So, we operated. Long process, but it was worth it and everyone made it through okay. Except for this guy/gal in front. We decided s/he would suffer serious consequences if the nose was removed. Therefore, the nose stayed. The recipient of this particular beast was notified of the nose issue and it was determined that it could be dealt with. (Through careful monitoring and maturity)

Real story: I have a ton of gray fleece. I wanted to make something for my one year old nephew. One became 3, became 5. They were a joy to make as I was able to use my sewing skills and creativity. I would think about the recipient as I made them, to instill love to be passed on to the new owner.

But what are they? I thought it was great when I saw the one you gave Kyle. It's so much more important that it's something you made. Aunt Lori!

They are boobah animalis. But each recipient can call it what they want. Some people think they look like bobcats.
