Collector stories · Cover story
When Marisol's daughter spent nine nights in hospital, a lavender bunny named Pudding came along for every blood test. Two years later the family's shelf holds forty-one plush — each with a name, a birthday and a hand-written index card. We visited their Austin living room to hear how a single get-well gift became a family tradition, and why they still take Pudding to every check-up.
