Horsey's dress
Horsey was in pretty good shape, except for her dress, which was her body, which wasn't as sturdy as her horse skin! Here are her diagnosis photos:
You can see where she had past surgery around her neck. Her family wanted her to get a spa (she was definitely losing some stuffing muscle tone in her legs and shoulders) and to have her dress redone.
She came to the hospital with a little unicorn buddy (Pom Pom) and a very decorated box. She also came with pre-selected fabric for her new dress.
Here she is in her bubble bath:
The plan was to recover the body of her dress, but replace the skirt, so I used a bit of the original skirt fabric, and a bit of the new fabric, to make the heart with a bit of her original stuffing:
And here she is feeling much better. These are chubbiness approval photos (hence the belly poke... there's also an open seam under her skirt):
And here she is all better waiting to fly home with PomPom:
Her young person's response "I love it!"

Lucky the Bear and his overalls
Lucky's family thought it was time for some special care. He was pushing 40, hadn't had a bath since the Eighties, and his person's person thought he'd look cute if he got overalls. Here are a couple of his diagnosis photos:
We agreed on a spa, seam tightening, fur transplants as needed for bald spots, and new blue corduroy overalls with a pocket --- he was a big fan of Corduroy the bear of book fame.
Here he is in his bubble bath:
If you look closely, you can see the water under the bubbles is turning tan as he gets clean.
Here's his heart being made and installed with a bit of his original stuffing (blue to match his new overalls):
And here he is all better and ready to fly home!
Lucky's family were close enough to drive down to the hospital and pick him up in person. They wrote:
He looks great - I definitely approve. You did a great job, and I'm so lucky to have found someone with your skill.
