Gerald, our resident baker, and I will be at the Toybrary this Friday for the Teddy Bear Picnic! I’ll be reading/sharing a story about his life, his dough hook hand, and his quest for happiness on his journey toward baker-hood. Think Eat, Pray, Love, except stuffed, short, and for little kids.

As you may know, we had an SA-napping during our 37TH Street Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo in Austin, TX a few weeks ago. We need your help!
Please print this flyer and color it… then put it on a telephone pole or bulletin board in your neighborhood!
We were thrilled to receive this update on Skimble from his adopter, Saloni. She adopted Skimble in January of 2012, after our December 2011 Petting Zoo on 37TH Street. Continue reading

Have you seen this stuffed animal?? He disappeared from 37th Street petting zoo sometime last night!!
This has NEVER happened before. And we need him back!!! So sad! So many have applied to adopt him! This is not cool.
Where are you, Benjamin, Chief Corporate Strategist of The SARF, LLC??
His cubicle is empty. His motivational posters still hang encouragingly on the walls.
Find Him!! Help, everyone!! Spread the word!
Let’s rally.
Bring him back. No questions asked.
We had another great turnout for the Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo tonight. The application box was pretty full. We have a lot of decisions to make!
We also got a lovely note from one of our neighbors! Thanks!
Uh-oh, I have a problem. I just have to be honest. I know we haven’t known each other for very long. And I know this is wrong. Very wrong! It goes against everything I’ve ever learned about doctor-patient relations, even from soap operas. But I can’t help it. I am in love. That’s right, Felix, I’m in love with you, and I don’t care what the people say. I don’t care what the stuffed animals say. I don’t care what your owner says (Okay, that’s not true. I do care very much what your owner says. I swear).
I love your tiny disproportionate ears and your stubby little tail, and the way your head slouches forward like you’re in dire need of militant Iyengar Yoga instructor.
I know you’ll just be here for a very short time, but that’s okay. We can cherish the time we do have together while you’re visiting the SARF Spa.
Oh, Felix, don’t be sad. Don’t stare down your snout at me with those little brown eyes of yours.
Come on, let’s go shopping for material for that new nose of yours. It’ll cheer us up.
What’s that? You want to give me another hug? Another one? Well, of course you can, Felix. That’s perfectly acceptable.
Thank you to all the lovely folks who braved the drizzle last night to visit day two of this year’s Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo. The rain held off for a few hours before we had to call it a night.
For those of you who visited last night but didn’t get a chance to fill out an application, you can do so online. All of our petting zoo SAs are listed here!
Tonight, however, is supposed to be beautiful! So if you’re planning to attend, this would be a great night for stuffed animal-meeting and adoption-applying! We hope to see you! Lights go on at dark, around 6pm!
