Flag the deer

This is a story I thought I had told... I had written that I told it, but apparently I didn't, because I can't find it! But if I did and you know the tail, you can scroll to the end for the latest updates which I got from Flag's person this week. :-)

Flag the deer was relatively young, under a year, when his person first wrote in 2015. He was a deer with bendable limbs, and one broke! Here is that first diagnosis photo:

His family was in Florida, a very long trip to California for a lone deer, so they opted to have his leg fixed locally. Zip forward 3 years and Flag had had more adventures, and new injuries! Here is the next photo I received:

This time they opted to send him cross country for a full bone transplant. He came with a donor (Fig Newton) who would go home as a more traditional, not bendable) stuffed animal.

Now this may be a bit much for some, so warning... below are the bones removed!

Transplant was successful and both patients headed home in the fall of 2018:

And now, after another three years, Flag's family reached out again, just to check in. Flag managed to have some fun and adventures, even given the travel restrictions of the last few years! Here are some of his latest adventures:

So I haven’t posted any drawings lately, but here’s some shots of little sewing projects I did!  It’s been years since I’ve sewed something more than just mending, so these were my little steps to getting used to it again.
