Happy Birthday Jason! a dog has a spa and bespoke overalls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jason was about to turn 40 and his human thought he’d enjoy some pampering. He didn’t have major issues, just some stuffing compression from aging, a few loose seams, and a bit of dirt from hugs, and he’d lost his overalls and shirt somewhere over the years.

One was literally shredding, so needed two different stuffed animals of my own to act as models, and the other pair had fabric that was disintegrating in a way that made it sticky, so every time the needle went in and came out, I needed to clean it off! They were stuffing inside, and the top layer of their fabric was coming
