What should I do with this bear??
I am in the process of trying to get rid of as much stuff as possible in order to make my coming move as easy as possible.  I’ve decided to give most of my old stuffed animals (that I’ve been using as decorations so are basically in new condition) to a local charity that provides toys to under privileged kids.  This bear was given to me by an ex-boyfriend; his dog chewed off the eyes.
Here’s my conundrum: Since this was given to me by an ex and plays “let me call you sweetheart” when you squeeze it’s paw, I have no real desire to keep this bear.  The problem is the bear is eyeless, and therefore won’t be accepted by any charities.  And I just can’t bring myself to throw away stuffed animals, especially helpless, blind ones!  I realize this is a complex stemming from childhood whereby I considered my toys to have souls… but now I don’t know what to do!  Do I keep the bear just because it has special needs?  Do I euthanize him by sending him to the dump??? Ack!  Help.
What would you do?
