koalas are fun for …
I believe i have mentioned Dogie’s affinity for stuffed animals these days. I am pretty sure that as i write this Dogie is licking another layer of fur off Deer, if there is a layer left to lick at this point. Poor Deer.
Ich habe vielleicht Dogies Liebe fuer Stofftiere erwaehnt. Ich bin ziemlich sicher dass, als ich das hier schreibe, er noch eine Pelzschicht seines Stofftiers ableckt. Armes Deer.
And so i decided to make him a fulled toy. A toy where licking might serve to strengthen, and not weaken the structure.
Also entschied ich ein Filztier zu machen. Ein Kuscheltier bei dem das dauernde Lecken die Struktur staerker anstatt schwaecher maeche.
Schoene Gruesse aus der Verruecktheit!
Greetings from Crazyland!
Ist groeeser als es hier aussieht
it’s bigger than it looks here
und fertig!
finished!
Unfortunately, it is a bit big for Dogie and he has expressed little interest in it, so it will probably go to Dogie’s other parents’ new kid.
Leider ist es etwas zu gross fuer Dogie und er hat wenig Interesse darauf, also wird es wahrscheinlich ein Geschenk an das neues Kind seiner anderen Eltern.

If I’m right in thinking Dogie’s other parents’ new kid is a human, I think perhaps you might refrain from telling them that it was originally for Dogie. I am a dog-lover, and a tolerant and understanding person, but I think it might not fly for other people. You know, just sayin’.

haha I liked the original stuffing
It turn out great as a felted animal. Maybe you could post pictures of it after it has been used for a while?
