when we can't be together,
Keep me in your heart,

Adorable, Lovable Winnie The Pooh

But Where Did Pooh Bear Get His Name?

The original, very first, real, honest to goodness Winnie was a black bear cub donated to the London Zoo by a Canadian officer after World War I. Lt. Harry Colebourn had named the cub Winnie, after his adopted hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This Winnie, the black bear cub at the London Zoo, became Christopher's favorite. Young Christopher (Robin) Milne named his toy bear after Winnie. His toy bear had started out with the name Edward, but I think Winnie turned out to be much better, don't you?

As for the Pooh part, Pooh was actually a swan they had once met on a vacation. Fancy that!

    My daughter loved Winnie the Pooh movies when she was very young. It was the first movie she ever requested but it took me a while to figure out what "hinny pooh" meant.
