updated ESSA intros! this time im only including the two i have very strong bonds with so this post isnt too long. however, i may post about others in the future, as i tend to get attached to new stuffed animals often!
first is tilly, my main ESSA! she is "bella golden retriever" by the brand douglas cuddle toys. i got her for my birthday this january, and i have been incredibly attached to her ever since. not only is she a perfect size and texture for my preferences, she's also my favorite dog breed! (goldens are tied with rough collies for my favorite hehe) i just find so much comfort in her presence—she's my favorite companion, and she's really helped me feel more confident bringing my stuffed animals on outings with me.
second is scuba! (as in "self contained underwater breathing apparatus." not sure why i named him that, honestly.) he is "freckles german shorthaired pointer" palm pal. he is my main travel buddy, since he's small enough to fit in pretty much any bag i carry, or even a pocket. i love the fabric he's made of, and his little bent ears. i took him to washington DC with me since i knew id get sick of carrying a big plush, and he was the perfect buddy!
i hope to post about them more, as there seems to be an incredibly kind community of fellow ESSA owners here! id love to make some mutuals/friends :D
