Children's character who says "It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it" (6)

I believe the answer is:

eeyore

(Other definitions for eeyore that I've seen before include "A. A. Milne's eternal pessimist" , "donkey in wood" , "Miserable donkey" , "Milne's depressive donkey" , "A. A. Milne donkey" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
