    My first beloved stuffed animal was a little pink kitten that I accidentally left on the bus when I was three which caused my parents to search every toy store in town for a copy.

    I can’t get the podcast to work. It won’t play for some reason, and I’m heartbroken. 🙁

    My first favorite stuffed animal was a Wile Coyote doll my dad won at a school fair.

    I have a bear we got for free with a coupon when I was little. The store had a ton of last names for its name, so I took one of those for the bear, Miller. In middle school the dog ate his nose and tore off half of his leg, but he got surgery-d, and is still around, in an L L Bean coat for bears to hold him together.

    The first stuffed animal I was attached to was not “stuffed” it was a bear skin rug. I called him Oscar, and he lived on my bed as a bed spread. I was about 10. My father was an avid hunter, and brought Oscar home one year. I took him into my room put him on my bed and he was there until I moved out and joined the military.

    Wooo for this episode! My first favorite stuffed animal was Eleroo from the Wuzzles, the big ol gay progeny of interspecies erotica. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

    My parents took me to Babyland General Hospital where the Cabbage Patch Dolls are “born” when I was about 3. These dolls were the super nice ones that were all fabric and hand-painted and stuffed. I was told I could pick out ANY doll I wanted…. Instead, I picked out a tiny Bunny Bee and named it Moose. I still love Moose to this day…

    LOVED this episode! Jane is just one of my favorite people ever.

    My first stuffed toy was a My Buddy doll. I actually had a strange resemblance to the doll – thick brown hair, sported lots of overalls – which made me love the doll even more. It was enough of a resemblance that my dad walked in the door one afternoon, saw My Buddy laying lifeless face down on the couch and attempted to start CPR, thinking that I was near the brink of death. True story!
