In a quiet corner of England, tucked among shelves of pre‑loved treasures, lived a tiny orange fish named Bubbles. He was cheerful, bright, and full of hope — but he longed for a big friend to swim beside.

Across the sea in America, a very large fish named Wilmer lounged proudly on his couch‑reef. He was magnificent, impressive, and deeply loved… but even big fish get lonely sometimes. His human knew it too. She decided he needed a companion — someone small, sweet, and ready for adventure.

So she visited the Loved Before site, a magical place where stuffed animals wait for their next chapter. That’s where she found Bubbles, smiling shyly from his little listing. He needed a home, and Wilmer needed a friend. It was perfect.

But she also clicked one more button — the mystery stuffy option. A leap of faith. A surprise sealed in tape.

Days…

Wally turned up at my front door yesterday, a small little fella, ready for cuddles! I'm so very grateful to adopt this little guy and have fun adventures with him! 🥰

Skipper arrived this morning and immediately spotted Colin. Colin is a giant woodlouse and coincidentally has exactly the same colours as Skipper. They have been chatting happily for quite a while. Colin was wondering what it was like to fly so Skipper has hung on to his back and is trying vainly to take off. He might need a few more cookies first. This could be a long friendship.

So happy with both of them and can't believe Sprout is a Douglas so bonus find and love ZigZags lanky legs lol and love the stories that you put with them and there settling in really well and can't wait to take them on adventures with me and there both going to cause mischief can already tell lol by there stories they came with as Sprout like gardening but putting things in the wrong places and get soil everywhere and ZigZag is clumsy and can't walk in straight line

A week ago, Mckenzie (2^nd from left) arrived by post.  He was rather shy but a very pleasant chap, however in his previous life he had sustained some neck damage and couldn’t hold his head up unsupported.  He’s been resting up over the last week, sleeping lots in readiness for surgery which has just taken place on the dining table to straighten his neck and allow him to hold his head up high once more.  So, here he is with the rest of our Herd, looking very pleased with his new home and new neck!

Having eaten a whole pack of custard creams to get over his long journey Fuzz was delighted when his new mummy bought him a dressing gown to help keep him snuggled and feel at home. He’s feeling very loved and cherished. Isn’t he just the cutest! Just look at that happy face.
