Caring just seems so silly to me 😆

White Bear's Rejuvenation for a new generation

White Bear's family wrote asking for help for their 40 year old bear last summer. He had visited the hospital over a decade ago, but after years with a new generation, it was time for a new treatment. Here are his diagnosis photos:

He had a bit of wear, but mostly on his front. The original plan was a spa and then transplants for his full front white areas, with a check in before deciding whether to treat his legs and back.

Here he is in his bubble bath:

There were two options for his new fur, longer and shorter:

His person opted for the longer fur. I treated his front side and the back of his head (the areas with the most balding), and sent photos:

His family wrote:

Wow, Beth! He’s so sweet. I agree, we can recover his back and legs like you recommend. I love that the brown (ears, nose, and paws) and eyes are shining through as the original and that’s good for us. Thank you for asking.

Here he is all better!

His family wrote "He's perfect!" So he flew home (not far, still in CA). And then in December, they wrote about another patient coming to the hospital. The last line of the email:

White Bear is holding up well!  We appreciate you fixing White Bear earlier this year!

The past few days I’ve taught myself to hand sew teddy bears, these ones are tests made out of scrap fabrics around the house before I buy actual mohair to make a proper one
