Do u treat plush toys if they were alive?

[Dora]

I just needed to wash my white puppet bunny who works in the living room as a guardian.. cos it was dusty.. and when I pushed its head under the water with washing-powder, i had a weird feeling that i might drown it. Is it normal? So finally I was washing it like: "take a deep breath dear!" "woohooo, washing, washing" and then gettin its head out and breath aaaaaah and back..
U know, what if it drowns and I will play with a bloody dead rotten rabbit for years then? i need to be careful, cos its hard to determine if alive.

Yes, Dora you are definitively insane... no doubt.

So don´t worry it will talk to you again, it is just a matter of time. Maybe it is just a little bit angry about your attempt to drown it.

As a child I treated my plush toys as if they were alive... almost every child do such things...

and some adults too...

NO you are not insane....
I have this stuffed Snoopy going everywhere with me when i don't sleep at home, (and thats often...)
I am gong to move in a month or two, and have this moving box full of stuffed animals... I feel guilty throwing em away, so I plan on givin em eway to kids at work.

But I know exactly what you mean:hotjump:

I have a small box of stuffed animals in my room. Luna and Artemis (the cats from Sailor Moon) are on my bed. I can't seem to part with any of them.

i know exactly what you mean too. i freaked out when my mother put one of my plush toys in the washing machine and he fell apart. What a happy Xmas that was

They sewed him back together, and now he sits up on a shelf to watch over me.

How can u tell if he'd survived?!

He had a stuffing transplant, and is as good as new took some time to recooperate, but he's just fine that was like 13 years ago. He still watches over me!

Treat them as though they are alive? Huh? They are sentient as far as I know.

 

[Falconspirit]

I have a little rabbit sleeping with me in my bed i got him when i was seven years old for christmas, but I do not wash him, he goes into the washing machine along with my little sister's plush toys- and then he's all clean againyipii
