A big Teddy's eyes... Another Christmas repair story
Teddy's person's person wrote last month. Teddy was fairly big -- over 2 feet tall, nice and squishy, but blind due to a run-in with a dog, and with some wounds that needed treating. The person also hoped he could enjoy a spa and be home in time for Christmas. A quick glance a his diagnosis photos showed that yes, his injuries were treatable, he'd dry fairly quickly, and we should be able to get him home for Christmas. Here are some of those diagnosis photos:
He'd also lost quite a bit of weight, but the spa would take care of that.
Teddy took a direct commuter flight to the hospital from SoCal and we got him right into his bubble bath:
Once dry and restuffed, I stitched up his wounds and then it was time to determine new eye placement. The eye sockets were too badly damaged to tell the original eye location. So I sent a couple photos of pins temporarily in place to figure out where his eyes went:
His person's person made a selection, and then they had to choose actual eyes:
I know his head looks a bit odd... that's because it's easiest to install eyes before all the stuffing is in. So for placement I had temporary stuffing, for eye color the stuffing had come out a bit. His person's person chose solid black eyes. Here's Teddy all better and ready to fly home:
Teddy arrived home safely and his person's person wrote:
Teddy has arrived safely thank you so much! He looks wonderful! I appreciate all the effort you put into making it an easy experience. Just simply taking the time to ask and confirm placement of the eyes or the amount of stuffing made it a very enjoyable experience. I will definitely pass along your name to anyone I know in the future that may be looking for this kind of service! I hope your holidays are wonderful! Thank you again!
He was all set for a happy holiday reunion with his person!
