This is one of the most engaging and cutest flash games I’ve seen in quite a long time! It is quirky and can at the same time be strangely moving.

Oh man, I loved this game! And they’ve added a new critter since I last visited! Thanks for posting this; it’d completely forgotten it. ---

I haven’t looked at this in a while, but I liked the new one…the turtle, right? I hope they add more. This is an awesome site. ---

I’m having alot of fun with this, thanks for the link. Scaredy-Croc was my first patient and when he wheeled out into the bright day with his little red whoopie cushion–_wipes tears from eyes_ What does BUY PATIENT do? I don’t want to click on it because, I dunno it feels like it will interrupt the flow of the session or something (sado-masochist lamb is hard enough as it is). ---

[QUOTE=Mojo Pin] What does BUY PATIENT do? I don’t want to click on it because, I dunno it feels like it will interrupt the flow of the session or something (sado-masochist lamb is hard enough as it is). [/QUOTE] “Buy Patient” takes you to the place in the site where you can buy the plushies themselves. You can click on that option from the “menu” on the top right. Just ignore the option during “therapy” 😉 When you get to see what the poor crocodile was (ab)used as… Good grief! It is really touching to see him tear up after he recovers what he really had inside himself (it looks like a hot water bottle to me, btw, instead of a whoopie cushion). Just my 2 eurocent! ---

[/QUOTE] Patience rewards the patient! 😉 😉 If you want to know, highlight the spoiler box… But _only_ if you are truly TRULY stumped! The box of kleenex is finite. Just let him cry until there are no more tissues left. There are something like 18 tissues or so… Just wait until the box is empty, and you can go on 🙂 Just my 2 eurocent! ---

I tried this with the snake and just couldn’t figure out what to do. I made a step or two of progress but then was totally stumped. ☹ ---

I luuuurved the snake. Poor guy, getting the short end of the stick from his stoner owners. But his flashback–utter hilarity! I think I’ve forgotten some of them again, so I may have to go in for a redo. ---

Yes! Thanks to **JoseB** ’s hint for the turtle. I’ve cured them all. (The snake was my first one, he’s really cute!) ---

:eek: OMG I own a Lilo knockoff! I had no idea. Mine is lavender and I found her in the local drug store for like $5 a few months ago. I bought her because she’s so soft … she has a zipper on her mouth and perfectly googly eyes. Now I wish I hadn’t cut her tag off (I always cut the tags off) so I could find out more about her. ---

So I have a Lilo, though she’s totally not an authorized edition. (She’s lavender, for one.) 1. Is her name LEE-loh? or LIE-loh? I needs to know! 2. Her mouth is a zipper. Is it better I should leave it open, or closed? (I’m not making her hold anything in there, diary or no. And no safety pins _whatsoever_.) ---

How endearing! I was oddly moved by their stories, and I managed to cure them all. 🙂 ---

All the lamb seems to do is beat itself with whatever I give it, and the turtle has retreated into its shell and won’t respond to anything. I’ll continue trying, but it’s getting frustrating. ---

All right, took me some time and some rather non-intuitive choices, but I helped 'em all. I was so proud of the lamb! And the turtle was good, too… I know how he feels… Although I will admit I felt very uncomfortable giving him ECT And the Freudian / Jungian thing, from what I understand, is a bit out of date. Still… Got to help the poor stuffed animals. Little better in the world than that. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/psychiatry-for-plushy-toys/453781.md?page=2)
