text: does anybody remember "fuzzy wuzzy" soap? it was shaped like a bear and after it got wet, it would 'grow' fur (soap fur). this was from the 1960s. also does anyone remember "weather poodles"? little ceramic poodles whose glaze would change colors according to the weather conditions? well, how did these work???????? yes! i do remember the weather poodles. i got a similar thing from the walter drake catalog. those things are magic, schiltzie. fun fun. jump up and down, clap, smile!! whee!!  did you have a weather bird too? you put colored water in it's glass belly, and the stormier it got, it would slowly tip forward.  if the water ever came out the beak, you had best be in the basement. you inspired me to write another child of the 60's question....
