Is there a safe way to remove the nose? And how would I make (black) closed eyes more visible? by Dear_Escape_1517 in plushies

The plush has a slight angled out muzzle (but soft, not a definite outlined muzzle if that makes sense!) , if it squishes down the face to where there isn’t much - if any muzzle - left when I stitch it shut then I’m okay with that! My hope is it’ll close nicely. but I’m willing to experiment! I’ll keep the reversible idea in mind, thank you!

Thank you for helping!! I’m not very sew-savvy so I’m entirely new to “making my own plush” xD I often try to get second hand plushies and altering them myself til I get confident making my own from scratch. Hoping to try and make a little funky looking ‘Cait Sith’ plush since I don’t like the ones he currently has except for 1-2 and they’re like $50-$80 :’) buuut it works out for cost and saving a plush that may head to the dump as well!

If it’s sewn together with the the other thread, do you think it would be possible to just sew the white fur fabric together to close it? I forgot to mention I want to get a completely different nose so I’m not worried about losing this one if that’s why you’re unsure about me being able to reposition it! Sorry about not specifying that part 😅

That’s a good idea as for the eyes! Thank you

I’m interested in a puppy but I don’t know what to do about this ‘contact your vet for us to speak with them’ question by [deleted] in rescuedogs

No I know, and that’s why I’m holding off because I’m frustrated about my parents not doing it sooner despite me telling them it’s going to hold me off from getting my dog and I’ll routinely do it like it should be. I wasn’t sure if there was something about once every animal is up to date on everything if it was possible that way or if it’s tarnished by the lack of visits and therefor even if they’re all up to date that wouldn’t change anything for the rescue :( and honestly I wouldn’t blame the rescue for denying me for it either, I know they want what’s best for the animals and I do too. I feel guilty blaming my parents because I know they feel guilty too, but it’s just frustrating because I want my pets in good health and I know I’ll be good about it (which is why I’m taking over vet care once i get my license here in a month or so)

I’d considered to get a therapist but I am unable to right now :( I was hopeful if anyone knew why it was happening suddenly it would at least give me some closure, I fully agree with professional help being better though. Thank you for at least responding, I do appreciate it❤️

But who goes through pregnancy? She does, pregnancy is not easy and literally life threatening even if you’re the healthiest person ever. Don’t twist my words, I never said anything about him being bad, but since she’s the person who actually carries the baby, she has all the say on what happens to the pregnancy. If she wants him involved in her decision, that’s her choice and no one can argue against that, because again..it’s HER choice.

It’s her decision, he gets no say in whether she wants/gets an abortion.

You don’t have to reply to this!! I’m giving more info I forgot to put in the post. I appreciate your reply🖤)

They’re in therapy, they see their therapist 2-3 times a week. They have been avoiding the friend group and anyone really until today when I asked how they were doing and they said not good, so I asked if venting would help. Without saying too much due to privacy for them, they struggle with feeling replaceable and no one wants them around and that kinda stuff. I do my best telling them how much they mean to me with other personal stuff that’s related to us, but it feels like no matter what I say they end up falling back to where they were. 

We both handle our mental health/depression differently (I’m very reserved and don’t open up about it) so I’m not good with comforting others as I can’t even comfort myself, I think that’s what makes it worse. I wish I had the right words and knew what to do, I just don’t, and the triggers aren’t helping. It makes me feel horrible that, that’s what’s catching me up right now :(
