Pot Belly’s Second Life
When I decided to post about him I took a few of the now pictures I wish i could go through all of my pictures and find more through out his second life but trust me it happened.
After the split in 2014 the first weekend away from me Phoebe was having nightmares and there was nothing I could do. (We did change the schedule up a bit to help her and have yet to change it back). When the girls came home and Phoebe was too anxious to fall asleep that night well, this was how the divorce was affecting her she never showed any other signs that she was upset over it. But she was 6 years old and she didn’t know how to express it that’s when I opened the box.
I told her when I was little I had Pot Belly with me at bedtime always and he kept the nightmares away. She took him and hasn’t slept without him since. It’s been over 4 years she is 10 now and yes I might have just ratted her out but I’m pretty sure her friends don’t read my “lame” blog LOL !
So here he is well loved, broken whiskers, one eye and a chewed bottom paw (thanks to Sid)
He has done his job well I think 🙂
Thanks Potbelly for helping my kiddo when she needed it and still being her favorite pillow today 🙂
Daekor manufactured Pot Bellies from 1979 to who knows when! But if you ever see one and want to send it my way please do!
I don’t know if you’re still out there, but tears are filling my eyes…. I have a blue version of your beautiful pot belly bear. “Bear” is my single most prized possession, and I have been looking for a similar one to him so I can retire this poor old bear, and he can watch me safely from my dresser. It makes me extremely happy that they are out there! Thank you for sharing.
Still here! and so is Potbelly ! you should try Ebay~ I just looked up blue potbelly beart and a bunch of different ones came up. Enjoy that old bear they are something special ❤
