I like toys, but I’m an adult who lives in a small condo, so I need to behave myself when it comes to bringing new friends into our home. I made an agreement with myself to try and limit my stuffed toy purchases to two per year, one for each Ubuntu release.<\/p>\n

Even so, I now have quite the collection.<\/p>\n

These toys serve the purpose of brightening up our events with some fun, and enjoy the search for a new animal to match Mark Shuttleworth’s latest animal announcement. Truth be told, my tahr is a goat that I found that kind of looks like a tahr. The same goes for my xerus. My pangolin ended up having to be a plastic toy, though awareness about the animal (and conservation effords) has grown since 2012 so I’d likely be able to find one now. The quetzal was the trickiest, I had to admit defeat bought an ornament<\/a> instead, but I did find and buy some quetzal earrings<\/a> during our honeymoon in Mexico.<\/p>\n

I’ve had fun as well and learned more about animals, which I love anyway. For the salamander I bought a $55 Hellbender Salamander Adoption Kit<\/a> from the World Wildlife fund, an organization my husband and I now donate to annually. Learning about pangolins led me to visit one in San Diego<\/a> and become a made me aware of the Save Pangolins<\/a> organization.<\/p>\n

It is now time for a Yakkety Yak<\/a>! After some indecisiveness, I went with an adorable NICI<\/a> yak, which I found on Amazon<\/a> and shipped from Shijiazhuang, China. He arrived today.<\/p>\n

Here he is!<\/p>\n
