Sunday Post - Week 2

Greetings from The Stuffed Animal Review, a publication dedicated to the analysis of stuffed creature design and their larger worlds.  You have stumbled upon what The Review refers to as its Sunday through Friday posts: random images of stuffed animals doing silly things.  Feel free to dig deeper into the purpose of this blog by clicking on the “Philosophy” page.  Or, just enjoy today’s post whose purpose is to make you happy.  Join us on Saturday for more substantive musings.

Sunday Silliness
As promised, this week's Sunday through Friday posts are dedicated to the sheep pictured on The Review's sidebar: Cheppie. 

Cheppie the Sheep

Position:  Editor-in-Chief

Cheppie is a decisive editor, granting approval of quality copy with an up-and-down shake of his snout – “uh-huh” – and rejecting inferior copy with a side-to-side snout shake – “uh-uh.”

Personal Details

Place of Origin: Handmade in China; Purchased in Frankenmuth, Michigan

Hobbies: Drinking beer and grazing in fields of basil. In order to understand Cheppie’s hobbies, you must know something about Frankenmuth, Michigan, where he was purchased.  Frankenmuth was founded by Lutheran immigrants from Franconia, Germany in 1845, today part of Bavaria.  Given his Franconian/Bavarian roots, Cheppie has an abiding passion for beer.  His palate has expanded beyond his native Germany to include Belgian-style brews, now his favorite.  He has deep affection for sausage, bratwurst, and sauerkraut.  And, yes, chocolate cake donuts.  Oddly, he also adores basil.  His ideal grazing grounds is a basil-filled field.
