I love you, little white rat.

This is something I posted on a plushie mailing list ages ago, but it's still just as relevant today:

I had a rough day at work today. I spent a few minutes cuddling Ben, a small white rat plush I keep there because I knew there would be days like this. He was a great help. I just wanted to say publicly in a forum that would understand: "Thanks for being there, Ben. You give me so much comfort and never ask for anything in return. I love you, little white rat."

I know how you feel Marko. I have a teddy bear named Cuddle Bear. Sometimes he is the only thing that keeps me sane. There was one week in my life that I literally walked around with him under my arm all day long (except at work), and slept with him in my arms every night.
