Just a regular Saturday afternoon, hiding in the laundry closet with a needle and thread, fixing the dog‘s stuffed crab toy. As one does.

Ah yes in our house we refer to this as “being in the hospital”.

You know I threw my pants out sooner than repair them, but when Mr squeekers got a rip under the arm I got out the kit and sewed Mr squeekers back together! The things we do for our boys💙

Anything stuffed with a squeaker in it especially doesn't survive the first 30 min with our gal as you can see. Alligator at Xmas gone, gone, gone.

A very anxious dog as you performed surgery on a best friend. :)

Gardener Sherry · Jun 6

10 or more times that I have seen up the favorite stuffie!

Susie Crimmins 8647 · Jun 7

Surgery is best performed outside the view of the patient’s loved ones after all

It's a stuffed armadillo toy over here.

I have a mini Aussie. Looks just like yours. She can disassemble lamb chop out any stuffed toy. Disembowel to retrieve the squeaker, and carefully remove all threads so professionally that you could reassemble it.

That is my dachshund's face when her toys are coming out of the dryer. She is so happy when her hedgehog emerges.

@staycalmandcarryon.bsky.social · Jun 7

Can't decide what's sweeter-the look on her face or the sewing of the crab toy!🐕🦀🪡♥️😻

My cat has one favorite toy left from when he was a kitten. He had three but my daughter’s dog ate two. Now he carries one toy around all the time even though has a basket filled with toys 🤦🏼‍♀️

@aquabluephoenix.bsky.social · Jun 6

❤️ours still adores his stingray toy that I’ve had to re-see the seams on a few times

@laurab33.bsky.social · Jun 6

I do not share those particular skills, so I have back stock of my beagle’s favorite plush, a raccoon we call Ricky.

Kathy_NJ · Jun 7

He/she's so cute! My pup would wait patiently while I performed surgery on his stuffies, like he knew what I was doing. He loved when I was done and he could play again! Miss him

Kim Brunner · Jun 7

You're doing it right.

@buythebeachdonald.bsky.social · Jun 6

Oh man, that gets me. I used to come home for lunch and sew our terrier mix's torn toys. She would be at playcare, otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

TERESA · Jun 6

Sometimes it's can be repaired other times it gets retired and new favorite comes to light.

Friedrich · Jun 7

Now that's true pet-parent dedication! 😄🦀🐶 There’s something wonderfully wholesome about spending a Saturday mending a beloved toy. The dog may never know the effort that went into it, but I’m sure that stuffed crab is about to get a very enthusiastic welcome back! ❤️😊

J.B. Lyle · Jun 6

Your effort is clearly appreciated!

@audreydm.bsky.social · Jun 6

One happy puppy

Sukasboss · Jun 6

I have found that carpet thread is the only way to resew stuffies

Merp · Jun 6

Awww I haven’t performed stuffie surgery in a long while… it’s so satisfying to give them back to our sweet babies (pets and human) all fixed up🥹

Our boy Sarge had a stuffed moose as a puppy who had to go through repeated trips to the toy hospital where my daughter performed surgeries on a regular basis. If he saw the surgeon working he would try to snatch the moose from her clutches.

Captain of Stardust · Jun 6

😉 that sounds very familiar. Had to buy a complete sewing kit and utensils to fix all the toys. Somehow they noticed as each toy only needed stitches once.

@azfml.bsky.social · Jun 6

Well, it's Saturday! What else is there to do???

Essentially Barbara · Jun 6

We have done many impromptu surgerys here, so many in fact, we had to buy a supply of rubber honkers for Rocket's duckies, geese, and pheasants.

Lady Tina Murphy · Jun 6

It has to be done. 🤣

@juliec230.bsky.social · Jun 7

Been there, done that. And I’ll be doing it again…

@katielamb.bsky.social · Jun 6

My senior dogs' favorite toy is a squeaky crab , he looks like Dr Zoidberg ( Futurama ) when he holds it in a certain way ! Sadly the camera is never ready to catch it !

JuiceLouis · Jun 7

I’m glad it’s not just me who sees up my dogs toys
