Jersey Wooly was a pink and white rabbit I had as a kid. He was a gift from my grandmother, probably resulting in the name. He was a little larger than your average rabbit and was very huggable despite the slightly ornery expression.
I was going through some old stuffed animals recently. All of them were in pretty good shape since I took care of my toys. I had to narrow down what I wanted to keep especially since I was adding a few from my room I wanted to keep. The goal was to make more space for my future by minimizing stuff from my past.
While I liked Jersey Wooly, there were several other stuffed animals I was more attached to like Big Bear who got considerably smaller as I got older or Pockets, a teddy bear who could tuck his hands into his built-in pockets. I also packed away the dog that talked. If you poked his belly he’d say “That tickles” and if you pulled his tail he’d say “That hurts.” With the goofy voice it was pretty awesome when I was 4.
Jersey Wooly, along with several other toys, went to Good Will today. He was a good stuffed animal and I hope he makes some other kid very happy. Jersey Wooly, you were a good bunny. May yours and all the other toys final days be full of hugs and happiness.
