The Dumpling Speaks

Hi everyone, Dorset Dumpling here. I was slightly worried after out last blog entry, that you might have been a little confused about who I am and what I looked like. I’m guessing that not many people will have had a face-to-face encounter with a Dorset Dumpling. I therefore ordered a close up picture of myself so you can see me properly and get to know me a bit better.


As you will see I am quite hairy, some might call me shaggy and I have two beady bright eyes, good for instantly sizing people up, a button nose and pointy yellow ears, good for picking up gossip. I was acquired, strangely enough from Dorset, more years ago than I care to remember – it’s rude to ask a dumpling his age anyway. I’m not sure that we Dumplings proved a particularly popular sales line as I’ve never met another of my own kind and when I did some Internet research to try and trace some relatives the only thing that came up in the search engine was recipes for puddings and I assure you I would not make good eating, so no-one should try it. After all I do have a label on my underside saying ‘Dorset Dumplings, these creatures bite’. I haven’t bitten anyone yet but it is a good idea to keep on the right side of me. There is no need to feel sorry for me being devoid of the companionship of other Dumplings as everyone at Bears Unlimited has made me so welcome I am well and truly one of the family.

Bye for now.

Lots of love, DD xxx
