Dear little puppy (aaaarrrgh)! I am reminded of having to repair the efforts of our dog of the time, a kelpie/dingo cross who chewed everything, back when my kids were little. The kids owned a very fancy teddy bear, plush and about the size of a five year old, which I could never have afforded to buy but was happy to give them when I won it. They called him Bruce and were very attached to him. So when the dog chewed off and ate one of his eyes and otherwise mangled him I made a fancy embroidered eye patch to cover the hole, repaired the other damage with contrasting rough stitches (worse than Mikkel’s), made him a fancy red and gold coat and renamed him Pirate Bruce. The kids quickly went from being upset to creating pirate games to play with their ‘new’ toy.
