Anxiously awaiting the outcome of surgery (stuffie surgery, that is!)

Fingal unstuffed the dog's giant unicorn as his busy project for today (better that than my couch!), so we came home to this:

So, my husband restuffed the stuffie, and performed surgery on it:

(And it takes a real man to let me post a pic of him sewing up a giant pink unicorn for the dogs to play with, lol! :D )

Fingal waited right there for the stuffie to come back.

But he got kinda sleepy while waiting, and could only muster up a token bite when it was finished!

Nap time!

hehe, very cute. :) Real man indeed. :cloud9:

BTW, how do you use that fireplace? :o

:laughing: It's decorative! (Or a clutter-collector, if you prefer.:o ) There's a small hole in the floor boards that makes me think it might have had a gas insert or an electric fire at some point.

Otherwise, it'd be tricky, with no hearth and the hardwood floor right into the fireplace. :D

The chimney is behind the hump there, though. Unfortunately, it's got the furnace pipe in it now, so I don't think we can have a wood burning fireplace there now. Maybe a gas one someday. :fingerscr

Cool. It just looks like the ones they have in Ireland to burn peat, that's why I asked... :o

Back to the stuffie surgery.:D

I think Fing just didn't want to play with a pink unicorn on the net.:D

You know, the old boiler was originally coal-fired, so maybe that was a working fireplace at one time and burned coal? I don't think peat was used much here.

Fingal is giving the unicorn a good shaking now. He seems disappointed that the stuffing isn't coming out anymore. :crazy:

Fingal looks just like a younger Halo does. And Halo will sit and wait while we re-stuff her toys. She'll whine and bark until she gets them back and then tries to rip em up again! Too cute.

Oh, LOL! That is just too cute! I love how Fingal is sitting so patiently waiting for the surgery to be over. :) Sooo cute!

:laughing: I love it ! :thumbs up What a nice hubby you have, to repair the dog's toys :highfive:

Fingal never let out a peep! He just waited there on the couch for my hubby to finish. He can be such a good boy. :cloud9:

Frenchy, yeah, my guy is a good hubby-and he loves the animals (even if he pretends he doesn't.:p )! People look at him and think "scary looking biker-guy" but he's got a huge soft spot for animals and kids. And he's not a biker-he just refused to cut his hair because his mother always nagged him about it. Same with the beard; she nagged, so he gets all fuzzy in protest. And for winter warmth. :laughing:

Aw, thanks for posting the pictures. Very cute! He just sat there during the surgery waiting.:lovestruck:

Great pics :laughing: . I think I'm about to officially give up repairing Riley's stuffed toys, he just wreaks them as soon as he gets them back :frustrated: . Lucy never once destroyed any of her toys but he is a major destruction machine with his (and most of her old ones too :o ).

My man also repairs toys for the dogs lol, I hate sewing so he does it.
There are some toys though that are an absolute fave and I hate to throw them out, so they are restuffed and sewn up and given back many times over.
Very cute.

Cute pics and what a great hubby you have. :thumbs up I hate sewing and my hubby would never do it so I just replenish my supply from the dollar stuffies at the thrift store. :o

Cute pictures! I love how Fingal is patiently waiting his toy back.

His stuffy is almost as big as he is. It must have been quite a fight!
