I call him Duckie (original, eh?). I'm told that I had him since I was baby, when I stole it from my sister. I've kept it because it's had so many memories for me, plus I used to never be able to sleep without it (even though in the morning it would wind up on the floor...Duckie was so abused).

Its something I've never really played with but always had on a shelf with my other millions of stuffed animals. I still have it in my hopechest and I'm 51. I also have quite the collection of dolls, some that are hard to find and are becomming or are quite the collectors items, and some that were just my favorite ones.
