I took my bunny with me to ex-T once! I felt like such a child, but I loved hugging him and having him on my lap.. he makes me feel safe (he came to hospital with me when I had to stay in for observation)! I feel like T may have found it a little odd, but she kept looking at him and grinning.. she even asked if he had a name (he doesn't, and she didn't want to suggest one because he's mine), and then if she'd be seeing him again!

Perhaps I'll ask my next T if they can keep bunny - or another cuddly toy.. I think I like my bunny too much - with them (hidden away) and bring him out when I come! I know I felt really self-conscious walking around with bunny that day I took him to ex-T.. so that would be nice! I think I'd feel bad for asking though.. I wouldn't want to put them out and/or take up space, hmm.
