New ESSA Alert 😋 could use some name suggestions!

Post image
51 Upvotes

Essa’s do not need to be a Douglas or a dog. That’s just what I bond to best

New baby on the block 😋

He’s the Sasha Husky by Douglas!
I customize all my douglas dogs so keep in mind he’s not stock! (They don’t have a mouth)

I’m already bonded with him for sure 💜 also you can’t really tell but he has a lazy eye and I think that adds so much personality lol!!

Any name suggestions would be great! I think he’ll be a boy but it’s still up in the air.
I really like food names but I do have a Joey and Dexter already

working on a muzzle for Shin (Goji "The Man In The Suit") to keep it under control even if it's a little gremlin now, but it's still a violent chaotic little gremlin. It's going to made out of duct tape.

A little unusual?

Hello!!
I’ve been on the hunt for my perfect ESSA… and today I fell in love with this little guy at work.
I know he’s a little unconventional compared to most people’s dogs and stuff, but he’s SO cute. 😭

I’m thinking of calling him “Crash”. I have no idea why.

A big diso of mine until i was able to adopt him from a friend! Originally his gear was meant for another dog but i think this suits him perfectly 🖤💫

Crazy Mom vs Rex

Post image
100 Upvotes

Hello! Mini rant about life so far ♡
(don’t mind the title I found it funny)

I used to have 4 ESSA’s, Rex, Honey, Milo, and Enzo. My mother is super religious, and had me throw them all away in the trash because in my religion, stuffed animals / full body toys or plushies are not acceptable to have. I tried and tried, begged her to let me keep at least one but she wouldn’t budge. I had to put them all in a big garbage bag MYSELF and throw them away.

That was around 4 months ago. Fast forward to July 25th - day before my birthday - I was confiding with a close friend of mine, 3+ years, and he asked me what I had wanted for my birthday, and I mentioned a German shepherd plushie, as Rex - my first ever essa - was a German shepherd!

I got the plushie on the day of my birthday - July 26th - and I’ve been in love with my baby. I named him after my first essa, Rex, and take him out as much as I can.

I have to hide him A LOT due to the fact that if my mom ever found out, I’d lose any trust I’ve gained back.

If you made it this far thank you for reading I truly appreciate it, and say hi to Rex!

TLDR ; I’ve been bonding with my secret essa that I have to hide from my mother.

Name Ideas?

Looking for name ideas for this kitty! I don't really have any ideas or requirements, I'll likely just pick whatever I like if I don't manage to come up with one on my own

Didn't expect to like him as much as I do

I got him for sad sentimental reasons, but he is just so cute and he looks so much like my dog did especially at night in certain lighting it's like he is here with me again just puppy sized again. I gotta buy a second one of him, but I am struggling with the website allowing me for some reason. I gotta have a backup of my boy or my heart just won't be able to take it.

Howdy all!!! Here’s a few of my ESSA’s, also I do have a question ^^

Post image
44 Upvotes

This is Clover, Vixen (both girls) and my goofy son Callisto!!!
Clover is new :3 got her yesterday at the mall, her and Callisto are weighted >:3

I’m a bit new to the ESSA community, I’ve had stuffed animals be emotional support and comfort my whole life but I never knew there was a community for it until about a year or two ago!!!

I have many ESSA’s, usually jumping between them, but Callisto and Kylie (a rabbit plush I’ve had since I was really little that’s not shown here) are usually the most consistent as I cuddle them at night to sleep <3

ANYWAY ANYWAY MY QUESTION I am so sorry if this is a dumb question, how do you bond or connect with your ESSA’s more?
Some of them I would love to be able to feel more bond towards than I do, but I’m not sure where to even begin

Toll again

I've been taking Toll outside more and more. Still nervous about it in my own neighborhood but having him with me, even just in my backpack, is worth it. He's more of a homebody in my headcanon so he's probably waiting for new plushies to arrive as much as I do but we have a bond and I don't think that's going to change.
