When you were a child, did you have a Teddy Bear (or similar companion toy) that you slept with and/or carried around?

 

  I never had one, it just wasn’t part of our family culture/customs.

    I did. Smokey was my confidante, until I was seven. Then we got a new puppy, who tore him to bits :-(

    Probably not, that puppy chewed everything it could reach.

    Not a toy or stuffed animal, but I did have a blanket that I couldn't sleep without.

    Couldn't you just play with the ones in the backyard?

    I tried, but they had a nasty habit of biting.

    I remember having a teddy bear, but I don't recall being overly attached to it.

      Somehow, I’m beginning to see that you don’t get attached very easily.

      You had such a toy but you don’t remember what it was, or you don’t remember whether or not you had such a toy?
