Plush Animal Lovers' Day - October 28 2015

[Coupe]

Plush Animal Lovers' Day is in two days (October 28th)! Basically it's a day when you take some time to honor the stuffed animals/plushies you have, or do nice things for them - some of these things might be to take them for a walk, play with them, read to them or buy them a small present - one year I bought my favorite stuffed dolphin a pet ID tag to prevent her from getting lost. When I lived within walking distance of a shopping center, I would sometimes take my smaller plushies to the ice cream parlor there (I would "finish" their ice cream for them. ) Some folks decide to celebrate PALs Day by adopting a new furry friend.

I'm trying to decide how I'm going to celebrate with my plushies on the 28th - I kind of already live every day as if it were PALs Day - taking my favorite small plushies everywhere, hugging them, etc...but this is the one day out of the whole year when I really get to show them how much I truly care for them and appreciate their unconditional love and friendship. If it wasn't for them, I would, in a way, be pretty much bereft of warmth or companionship. I'm sure I'll think of something.

Is anyone else celebrating Plush Animal Lovers' Day?

Yes. I had it for about 4 to 5 months now. He still don't have a name yet.

I saw few there I recognized, then inadvertently turned it into a came of "name that plush".

It's cool that there's a day for that. I love plushies!

I have this guy on my desk (not my picture):

And will have this guy, once he's made and shipped:

I also sleep with a blue bear that's about a 18 inches tall (perfect size to keep my shoulders from sagging inward and making it hard to breathe at night, since I sleep on my side and cross my arms).

I really want one. I assume you know PHP? I miss all the fun stuff Toronto haves. True North conference must be nice.

Hi, dragonwolf! Yes, I tend to collect a lot of "character" plush. Your elephant and mammoth are adorable! I'm glad you also have a bear that helps you breathe easily at night.

Yep, I'm a PHP Developer by trade.

Ironically, I haven't actually attended True North, but I couldn't resist getting the mammoth, because he looks so soft!
