Lumpy (Heffridge Trumpler Brompet Heffalump)


Lumpy. First thought was of my favorite stuffed animal, Muttster. Yes, of course, there's story behind the name.


Muttster was my pet dog, a poodle, that came to our house one day. He had definitely been a house dog. The poor old fellow had gotten mange and obviously had been discarded either by purpose or chance by our house. The most soft-hearted people in the world especially when it comes to animals. So we set about to healing this guy with a very stinky, yet very effective, mange cure and bonding with him. He and I became best friends. I named him Muttster. It fit with the times. I believe it was one Christmas, my mom found this stuffed animal that looked very much like him. So I cuddled with this little stuffed guy many a nights thus making him into this lovable lump.
