Even though if you know its a business relationship, when you see a regular pro for several months, it is really impossible for me to not form some kind of attachment to them. As I contemplate the realization that my favorite snuggler who I've seen seeing off and on for most of the year is quitting cuddling, I realize that even more. I've been branching out a bit trying to find alternate snugglers...but its a challenge. Its not all about cost by the way..its other things too. I don't think snugglers are just interchangeable..each person is different.
