Coneja’s person first wrote to me back in August. She was concerned that the Bunny needed to be replaced from the neck down. Here are her diagnosis photos:
As you can see, her legs, arms and torso were made from the same very thin fabric as her skirt, and over time they just got thinner and thinner. But her head, hands, and feet were all still sturdy, just a little deflated.
We agreed the best treatment would be to give her a spa, then recover all her clothes in new fabric. We’d replace the bodice and skirt, but leave the trim as a memory, as it was structural so was ok to keep wearing.
It took a couple months, but Coneja flew to the hospital in October to begin treatment. Here she is starting her spa with her bubble bath:
She got restuffed next and of course, got a heart of original stuffing.
I thought those flowers would be nice for her and her person completely agreed: Oh my gosh the heart is perfect ! Thank you so much!
Next up, choosing fabric for her new clothes. We discussed a couple options. Flannel was a bit sturdier than her current clothes, but velvet was the next step, and brighter colors, and that’s what her person and I agreed on. I was going to recover most of the clothes, but replace the skirt. It was just too thin to hold new fabric. Here she is bright and sturdy:
Still herself but ready for many more years of hugs!
She flew home and arrived just this week. Her person wrote:
