I could send Sylkat a weta if she wants one. Shouldn't take me too long to find one in the woodshed.
Just send me your address Sylkat, and the hideous beast will be on its way......

I so wish I could take you up on that offer as well, but sadly it'd be illegal to do so. Exotic pets aren't allowed here. Otherwise I would have loved to receive some of course. I hope Sylkat will post pics of her very own weta and keep us updated.

I used to have a plush seal called Sammy the Seal. I forgot all about it until you mentioned yours, Skilpadde. I like the name of your seals. Very cute.

Thanks. Wow, you had toy seal named Sammy? Talk about coincidence! When I was around 8 or 9 my father and I wrote a fairytale about two seals named Sammy and Nelly. They were hunting herring. I wonder where that fairytale is now. I'm sure I didn't trash it. I hope it will turn up. IIRC it was my father who suggested most of the names.
I also had a polar bear called Isbjørn-Jager-Sel (Polar Bear Hunts Seal) and two bumble bees named Frørøver and Stikke-Stakk-Stukket-av (Seed Robber and Sting-Stung- Run away; the verb stikke can mean both sting and flee).
Names have always been very important to me when naming toys, pets, characters in my stories etc.

What interesting names for animals, Skilpadde. :D

I only came up with basic names for animals as a kid: I had a pet goldfish called Goldie, a giant teddy bear called Huggy, and a little stuffed toy dog called Spot. Although I did have a stuffed toy bird called "Kuki Kea", which was a commemorative kids toy produced for NZ's sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) celebrations in 1990.

If New Zealand would host the Olympics, the Giant Weta can be the official mascot, and then people in every country will be able to have one as a pet, because to disallow them entry would cause an international incident.

Thanks! :) Most of my toys had regular girl's and boy's names, many of them English, due to my affinity for England.

That would be great, I could finally have my own weta. Too bad New Zealand isn't hosting the Olympics any time soon though. The weta looks like it could be a great mascot for the summer Olympics. It looks like a jumper. Can they jump, Murihiku?

Thanks for stopping that, CloudFlare. Here goes second attempt.

Who's CloudFare? Some dubious hooded figure who does children? A troll? A drug smuggler? A criminal kingpin? It has been puzzling me for some time.

Makes things cloudy that were clear, as if you didn't think your Windows were fuzzy enough!

Resembles the old woman I saw the other day, stomping through the park in a heavy grey coat, hood and boots, walking stick held out horizontally in front of her, like some female Gandalf. She looked like a baby dragon shepherdess.
