This goes out to all the people who are struggling with the current condition of our country. Especially the ones that can find compassion in watching a monkey who has more compassion for his stuffed animal than most humans in Congress.
It may not be perfect but I had to try.

I have the joy of feeling that feeling multiple times a day at the hands of Cuddles, Petunia and Shadow, and the peace that face shows I so readily and joyfully recognize.

(13,982 posts)I think so many of us are struggling with the current mess. Especially those who are alone.
We all need something to cuddle through these hard times.

(13,280 posts)Hubby bought me soft teddy bear a big one in early Feb when I had hip operation. It still sleeps by me and every once in awhile I just hold it. It's very soft and feels comforting.
I am more using it for comfort when I feel like recovery is taking forever. The country feels so big and out of my control, I have given up on worrying about it.
