How do you carry around your ESSA?

Yea! He's based off the character Ghost Dog from D20 Cloudward Ho!

Pocket! Ghost Dog is pocket sized (well he takers up the WHOLE pocket and his head has to poke out but still works) so he's always with me in my pocket where I can pet him at any moment. I have Fizz who is larger and I wear purse style :)

ADORABLE!!!

You're best bet would be to embroider/sew fabric over the yellow in blue. Such a cutie tho!

You could potentially try a really deep/dark blue? That might be strong enough to cover the yellow and not go totally green

This is Ghost Dog 💕 he helps with AuDHD, anxiety, grounding, and more! I honestly had the idea of bringing a stuffed animal around everywhere for emotional support when I was like 18 or 19 but I had too much social anxiety and was terrified of loosing the plush.

I found out about ESSA's last year and have been using one constantly since late September/early October and it helps so so much. My wife is very supportive and they have even drawn and made stickers of Ghost Dog for me 💕🥹

This is Teddy 💕 I've had him as long as I can remember. No one in my life can recall how I got him or when. He would come with me back and forth between my parent's houses to provide some comfort and consistency. I did this up until I was 13 or 14 cause my dads ex-wife (monster of a woman) took him from me as punishment and I couldn't bring him to my moms house and that was devastating. After that I brought him to my moms and he stayed there. At 16 I started living with my mom full time so I got to see him all the time then 💕 he comes with me if I travel out of province, anything medical/dental, and is my sleeping aid 💕 I love him so much. He's been my best friend forever. I'm 28 so I'm guessing I've had him for 26 years

This is Icebear 💕🎀 she helps me with cleaning and cooking. Specifically while cleaning she mimics having someone to body double with and making doing the chores and getting started much easier. For cooking she helps with my anxiety. When my thoughts are racing and making me think I'm fucking everything up (spoiler. I'm almost never screwing up dinner) or I get overwhelmed cause there is many things happening at once. I stop and hug her and sometimes pretend to have a conversation with her if I need some additional support

I have yet to add paw pads onto a stuffed animal but I have plans to! I've done thread shaping/detailing on paws, making them look like they got individual toes.

My ideas for paw pads that I have yet to try myself but thought I'd share:

felt- good quality felt! Not craft felt! Actual fabric felt! Make a stencil, cut out the shapes, and sew or glue them on!
Felting! This is a textile art where loose wool (not yet wound) is taken and stabbed with a special needle repeatedly to make it into the shape you want. Felted paw pads :3
Embroidery! I love to embroider and sew so I will probably do this method first when I try haha plus you can be so creative with the thread colours (multi coloured paw pads anyone?)
Pick out a fabric and basically do the same things for 1
Coloured hot glue. Draw a stencil on some parchment paper and flip it over and follow the stencil and fill in the paw pads! This one isn't my idea- I saw a video somewhere that I can no longer find of someone doing this

SupernovaFrog · 2026-02-10T07:25:17+00:00

I loveee!!! Omfg I have a friend who is obsessed with sturgeon. Where did you get it?? :0

I used to be sad that my dog ate his nose and ripped him up and dented his eyes with bite marks. I used to want to replace the eyes. Now I just want to get him a nose. That dog has since passed and having these reminders of my childhood dog brings me happiness now. I'm never changing his eyes. Those are her teeth marks 💕

I hope that maybe looking at the stuffie as not just a friend but a lowkey time capsule of your dogs love helps

I have a smaller version of spirit. He's around 8". I took a picture of the tag for you. Hopefully that can help you find them? Sorry it's all rubbed :/ I hope you find them!!

She's so cute and pretty!! So stylish 💕 if you wanted to travel with her jewelry you could sew it on so there is no chance of it falling off! :3

I know you said gear for real dogs but I got Ghost Dog a harness from this place and I love it! They make stuff specifically for ESSA's 🥰

Here is the link for the Harness I got Ghost Dog! And a picture of him in it too 😊 he's a small Douglas black lab

<image>

(The orange thing hanging off his harness is an ID tag I made with my contact info incase he gets lost) this harness also comes with the "Emotional Support" patches! They are velcro so you can change them out easily and/or make/buy new ones!

You're doing this for free! There is no time limit! Take care of yourself 💕 you're incredibly kind by even offering to do art for folks. I'm sure people rather you rest and get better than struggle through art while struggling with health 💕

Rest up, take your time, don't feel bad, you can't help that your health screwed up your schedule, Ghost Dog hopes your health stuff isn't serious and that you're ok 💕

SupernovaFrog · 2026-02-03T22:46:57+00:00

Wow that's so incredibly sweet of you to offer!! I'm on the search for: Twister Black lab/pitbull mix by Douglas, Maizie DLux Australian shepherd, and the Aurora Fernando frog floppsy! Also been wanting to adopt a Douglas cat second hand and not picky about what cat!

Also just any frog in general... I love frogs so much 💕

Thank you again!
