Attachment disorder.  Gordi thought he was only helping to clean out the draws.

Is 55 PB the first teddy bear ?

On July 26th 2011 BBC News Frances Cronin  asks  "Is the 55pb the first Teddy bear? 

• A replica of 55 PB teddy bear is on display at the Steiff museum
• But its status as first bear is hotly disputed
• The name Teddy Bear comes from former US President Theodore Roosevelt.
• On a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902 Roosevelt was offered a stunned, lassoed bear to shoot but he refused
• This was depicted in a cartoon in the Washington Post, which inspired Russian immigrant toy maker Morris Michtom
• He created a bear to put in his toy shop window in Brooklyn and called it Teddy's Bear
• Richard Steiff registered his design in July 1903. There is evidence of a sample being sent over to the US late 1902/early 1903 but it would have taken a while to design and make
• The US bear appeared towards the end of November 1902 so the timing is very tight, possibly even simultaneous
