Emotional Neglect Puppy - Plush Stuffed Animal

Emotional neglect is what happens when nobody is cruel, exactly - they just are not there. The needs that should have been obvious go unanswered. You learn to want less. You get very good at being easy.

Emotional Neglect Puppy is a pastel plush dog with button eyes, glasses, a blue collar, and a little star tag, patched in cream and pink and blue like someone put them together carefully after the fact. They are not loud. They will not demand the middle of the bed. They have been waiting a long time to be chosen on purpose.

This bun - this pup! - is for the people who still flinch when someone is kind, and for anyone who needed a soft thing that does not require you to perform okay-ness first. Sit with them. They have been sitting with you.
