    I haven't made a toy for a while but our vet Bec is getting married this week and I thought she might like a teddy and some wine. We had a worrying time with our wee schnauzer recently and she was amazing.😊

      I almost missed this Michelle sometimes for some reason you disappear 🀣 This bear is adorable and a great idea for your Vet. The little schnauzer button is a lovely addition. Hope your Schnauzer is well.

        @Michelle M: No I'm sure you wouldn't Michelle it's so horrible when pets are sick and you feel so helpless trying to work out what is wrong. I am so relieved for you.

        Oh I missed your comment Catherine sorry, I have been having problems with the site had to keep changing my password. 😊I had fun making him as it's the first toy I have made for ages. Our wee PK is great now thank golly and its his birthday on Saturday and he is going to be 11.😊😊Well the weather will be getting colder now for you and those ugg boots and trackies will be coming out again. Did you understand the Aussie words.lol.πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚πŸ’•πŸ’•

        @Michelle M: no worries, I've missed loads of stuff on here then I'll come across something that's weeks old. My wee doggy was 10 in June and had to have an operation to remove a big lump in his groin but he's all good. Funnily enough it's been really cold in the morning & evening and lovely in the afternoon so layers is best way to go πŸ‘•

        Thank you Elaine I like using that wool as it's quite thin and I think the white on his muzzle looks nice. Our wee PK is great now but the first vet really scared us talking about surgery, biopsies etc.😟Hope you are having a lovely week and you still have some nice days to sit outside.πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•
