I am on a digital detox. This post was written ahead of time and scheduled to appear today. I have not missed posting at least once per day in over a decade. While on this detox, I will not have internet access many days, when I do have access it will be limited. Please continue to leave comments, but I may not reply to comments. I will read comments when I can. Normal service will resume in few days.

  2. I was worried about this post until I realised you didn't mean real stuffed animals but fluffy toys!
    1: How many stuffed animals do you have?
    Currently only one. I gave most of them away a few years ago and I don't miss them. Unless the rag doll that my mum gave me for my 40th birthday counts.
    2: Do you give them names?
    Ted and Doll.
    3: Do you have any from childhood?
    No but Ted is actually my OH's old teddy bear from when he was a little boy. We both keep him safe. (From cat and dog.)
    4: When was the last time you gave one as a gift?
    Does the collection of dog and cat toys count? In which case, last Christmas.
    5: Do you have a favorite stuffed animal?
    Doll. I miss my mum every day and it reminds me of when she was still with us.
