I’ve actually really enjoyed the process of discovering my stuffed identity. Species identities are more fixed and rigid in the live animal world. That was always difficult for me. In the stuffed animal world, things are more fluid. At Greater Pine Bluff, I never felt like I completely fit in with one group. Part of me felt like a longhorn, but another part of me was drawn to the bison herd. As an SA, I’ve realized that I don’t actually have to choose. I am first and foremost a stuffed animal! And I am finally at peace with who I am.
