Foxie’s trolls often end up “scalped” and lose their hair. It seems like both Jamie and Jody might do the troll-scalping, although we don’t always catch it happening. One afternoon Jackie and I witnessed Jody rip this troll’s hair out while casually resting on top of the wooden platform outside.
We have some troll dolls that are quite odd in my opinion—they don’t really resemble the traditional troll doll and have a different type of hair. For some reason these trolls don’t lose their hair as often, if ever. In this troll line-up, you can see a traditional troll still with its hair, one that’s been scalped, and two of the “odd” trolls still with hair.
Foxie still interacts with these ones…
and maybe she’s on a mission to begin their hair removal too?
the odd trolls look most cheeky and rude 🙂 its lovely Foxies loves them all the same sweet girl xxx
the odd trolls are the ones leslie sent in … and she is as odd as they …
Going through some of the Troll Olympics trolls, I found quite a few odd trolls, more so than these ones even! Thank you for the odd trolls, Foxie loves them all.
Perhaps they are trying to get the trolls to more resemble them…..after all….chimps don’t have hair that stands straight up on their heads and in those, wild colors. I wonder what they would do with one that was very dark with no hair?? 🙂
I can never predict how they might react to new and strange trolls or dolls. We had a stuffed animal chimp recently that only lasted a day before it was torn to pieces. Yet, other stuffed animals last for months! And some of the trolls take a long time to lose their hair, others lose it within hours. Unfortunately we can’t get inside of the chimps’ minds, so we’ll never know exactly what it is about some trolls that gets them scalped and others that remain intact!
lol, I’m surprised any of the trolls still have hair! does Foxie still have the troll that had hair all over it? or did Jamie or Jody shave it too?
Yes, the troll is still around, although sadly its body and head have now been separated. I’m not sure who is responsible for that, but regardless Foxie still enjoys the parts!
Well, I can tell you that the bright faced little troll on the left with the gemstone bellybutton is a Treasure Troll. the next one over looks similar to one I used to see around whose eyes lit up. The other two are unknown to me.
I’ve been wondering what ever happened to the Bigfoot troll! He sure didn’t last long! Those chimps! Glad Foxie still loves the parts though!
It would be great if we could get inside their minds and know what they are thinking but alas, we can’t even do that with our own species. Foxie’s love for trolls is precious. She doesn’t care if they have hair, if they are in pieces or if they are not the typical looking troll. She sees all her babies as beautiful and we could do well to think more like her. It’s the differences that make each one unique.
Well put Theresa! But then we could learn a lot from all animals if we just listened. I love Foxie’s joy of trolls and the love she gives each and every one.
