First actual plushie post!! This is my first-ever real comfort item, Kitty-mousey-doggy-bear, (named by my mum due to 1. me being like 18 months old or something, and 2. we never really knew what this critter was even supposed to be. So, the name stuck.)
My mémère got it for me at the now defunct Building #19 (New England store chain that was (in)famous for its very cheap rugs, but not being the cleanest store ever lmfao it was neat! And by not the cleanest, it was just VERY dusty)
Between falling in the CLEAN toilet several times, me losing it in the house in the worst spots and finding it later on dusty and a mess, this poor thing has been through the wringer, both literally and figuratively lmfao but I still love it to this day. I'm glad it never got permanently lost 💜
(You're gonna notice a lot of these early plushies being pink, it never bothered me bc pink isn't a girl's color to me bc that's dumb as hell, but I didn't exactly come out and live as nonbinary until a few years ago lol)
