Description
Took windy out a few weeks ago and had some Autumn fun.Windy's got new whiskers to replace the ones he lost during the tanning process, and new ear fluff!!! It took all of an hour to fix, and it made the world of difference!!
He is my absolute top fave. soft mount of mine, of all time. I take him just about everywhere with me (aside from the store) and he's with me in bed every night. He means so much to me in so many ways.
About Windseeker:
Without going into any details as to why he looks the way he does, you can judge the job I did fairly by viewing the following images' links: atfirstplush.deviantart.com/ar… atfirstplush.deviantart.com/ar… atfirstplush.deviantart.com/ar… in order from left to right. If you feel I did him justice, that's awesome, if not, I totally accept your point of view. But I doubt anyone other than myself would have even attempted the work he required.
I even have a picture of him shortly after he was taken. It makes me sad, but I cherish him more so, soooo VERY much.
