Anyone know how to clean a really old stuffed animal without de stuffing it or soaking it…

He looks very happy to be getting such pampered treatment. Looking great.

He's in a land of milk and honey.

Don’t forget the lemon and watermelon

Tada!!!!

Except for that one spot on the cheek— couldn’t get it color matched without it looking splotchy and it just looked better just as it was than with the splotch.

Dad gets home tonight from his work trip~

I hope he likes it

Turned out super

What a cool find, and what a nice thing to do for your dad. Hope he loves it.

He looks very happy after his cleaning. He has a big smile on his face.

He liked it

 

[TwoTankAmin]

He sure did. That smile is worth all the time and effort you put in, and then some.

In post #19 the picture with the 3 kids and the middle one is holding the dog, is that your dad when he was younger?

You dad looks happy in post #22. Nice job with that and I reckon you made his day. FYI he looks like Rick from the TV series Pawn Stars

Yessir! That’s him in the middle between his brother and sister. I put the framed photo in the bag too in a way that he would pull the picture first and when he pulled the picture out (I asked his mom to send it to me), he smiled and talked about how much he loved that Lassie toy for a very hot second before actually going to the bag to see what else was in there. You could tell the MOMENT he realized what it was and pulled it out with the biggest grin on his face and kept looking between the lassie and the picture. I recorded a video to send his mom.

And omg he totally does
