New Friend Arrived Stained/Dirty.
Purchased new from third party seller on Amazon. Paid way too much, but she was sold out everywhere else I looked. I’m not gonna be mad about the size. I should have read up on her better; I will say the photos read much larger. I was thinking similar to the dogs also by Douglas. Alas she was still cute and much needed during a stressful week. My dad offered to order another, but what guarantees that the next one won’t also have dark spots. It looks like the plush wasn’t originally in a bag and had been on a dirty floor or shelf, the furs not just darker, it’s also visibly smooshed in those areas too. I’m gonna use her custom pet tag somehow, the collar will be way too big. Shame. I had that customized to say “ESSA on Duty”. Pink and tan. Would have looked soooo cute on her.
I’ll say sad welcome to Penelope and a big hello to my fellow Essa handlers.
