i think it's a great idea, googley! i have always wanted to take my dog (if things got difficult i could make her growl back at pdoc/T) but a stuffed animal is probably a little more appropriate for a hospital, lol.

when i know i am in for a difficult session i will take a scarf/cardigan to hide behind (yes, i will pick it up and put it in front of my face and talk from behind that) so i think a stuffed animal is a WHOLE lot less 'weird'. in fact, i don't think it's weird at all. i think it's a great idea!!

i am going to play with my collection of stuffies tonight and find one that is small enough for me to take around with me.
