The example includes a head formed of head fabric, the head having a posterior portion of the head coupled to the body at an anterior portion of the body, the head defining a head pocket opening disposed on an anterior portion of the head, a head pocket disposed in an interior of the head and coupled to the head pocket opening and head plush disposed in the interior of the head, between the head pocket and the head fabric. The example includes at least one pair of legs formed of leg fabric and fastened to the body.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a body formed of body fabric, the body defining a body pocket opening;
a body pocket disposed in an interior of the body and coupled to the body pocket opening;
body plush disposed in the interior of the body, between the body pocket and the body fabric;
a recloseable body fastener coupled to the body proximal the body pocket opening and configured to fasten the body pocket opening closed;
a head formed of head fabric, the head having a posterior portion of the head coupled to the body at an anterior portion of the body, the head defining a head pocket opening disposed on an anterior portion of the head;
a head pocket disposed in an interior of the head and coupled to the head pocket opening;
head plush disposed in the interior of the head, between the head pocket and the head fabric;
a recloseable head fastener coupled to the head proximal the head pocket opening and configured to fasten the head pocket opening closed; and
at least one pair of legs formed of leg fabric and fastened to the body bilaterally along a ventral portion of the body, wherein at least one leg of the pair of legs comprises:
a leg fabric configured in a leg that defines a leg pocket opening;
a leg pocket disposed in the interior of the leg and coupled to the leg opening;
leg plush disposed in the interior of the leg between the leg pocket and the leg; and
a recloseable leg fastener coupled to the leg proximal the leg opening to close the leg opening.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the leg includes a top leg seam that retains the leg plush inside the leg and separates the leg plush from the body plush.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the top leg seam is a substantially linear top leg seam.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the substantially linear top leg seam is approximately parallel to a sagittal plane of the body.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the leg pocket opening faces a sagittal plane of the body.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a tail coupled to the body posteriorly.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the head pocket opening is formed in a shape of a mouth.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the recloseable head fastener includes a zipper.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the zipper is oriented to resemble teeth of the mouth.
10. The apparatus of claim 7 , comprising a tongue coupled to the head on a ventral surface of the mouth.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the tongue defines a tongue pocket with a tongue pocket opening oriented posteriorly.
12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the legs includes a bottom portion, with stitching extending from the bottom portion to an interior portion of the leg to maintain the bottom portion in a generally planar shape with respect to a remainder of the at least one of the legs.
13. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising an identification pocket, including a transparent portion and formed of a generally stiff, flexible material formed into a substantially planar shape, disposed in the body pocket, with an identification pocket opening of the identification pocket coupled proximal the body pocket opening.
14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said at least one pair of legs comprises two pairs of legs formed of the leg fabric and fastened to the body along the ventral portion of the body, the two pairs of leg defining front legs and rear legs so as to define a plush toy quadruped shape selected from the group consisting of a dog, a horse, a giraffe, a dinosaur, a turtle, a unicorn, a hippopotamus, a bear, a pig, and a monkey.
15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein each respective leg of said two pairs of legs comprises: a leg pocket disposed in the interior of the respective leg, and a recloseable leg fastener coupled to the respective leg proximal the leg opening to close the leg opening, and wherein said plush toy quadruped shape contains at least six pockets, said at least six pockets including the body pocket, the head pocket, and four legs pockets of two pairs of legs.
16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the recloseable fasteners corresponding to said at least six pockets include fasteners selected from the group consisting of hook-and-loop fasteners, snaps, zippers, zip-lock seals, and magnets.
17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the head pocket opening is formed in a shape of a mouth of said plush toy quadruped shape, wherein the recloseable head fastener includes a zipper oriented to resemble teeth of the mouth.
18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the zipper oriented to resemble teeth of the mouth includes a soft pull comprising felt material or a fleece material.
19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the body fabric, the head fabric, and the leg fabric comprise a polyester material that is different from the material of the soft pull.
20. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the recloseable head fastener includes the zipper while all other recloseable fasteners corresponding to the body pocket and the leg pockets comprise hook-and-loop fasteners.
