Goodbye, Mamma Bear
moldy mamma bear
Originally uploaded by brennaslife. I had a XXL Ziploc Big Bag full of pandas and other stuffed animals from my childhood. Upon moving all the boxes out of Blake's mom's basement it was discovered that this bag had been resting against a wall where water somehow seeped into this bag. On further inspection, we saw that all of the pandas were covered with black and green mold.
Pictured here is my Mamma Bear, a teddy bear I was given on the day I was born. All the dark spots on her fur are mold, and I actually should have gotten a picture of her back because it was completely green. It's sad to see her go, but as you can tell she was pretty beat up. Her feet had got all chewed up and so I had wrapped them in tape to prevent the stuffing falling out. Now all my pandas are gone except my huge one my father gave me. I'm glad I still have that one at least!

No more pandas. :(
