This is Dumbo the monkey. He came in with another monkey friend who also had surgery. He belongs to Matthew, who has passed him on to his daughter. Poor Dumbo's legs were made out of dungarees and he'd worn them right through to the stuffing. Too much tree climbing I bet! It was requested that I 'magic mended' him, and change as little as possible. His new mummy had extreme anxiety that he should be the same, both to look at and feel. I remade his trousers, fusing the old ones over the new. I also washed his wool stuffing and created an elaborate drying cage, so it could dry thoroughly in the sunshine without my cats deciding it would make a comfy bed. He's now returned home, and has been approved!
