Dear Teddy Bear Hospital,

My childhood teddy bear—Boondie— is showing his age and losing some of his substance and personality, and I’m hoping he could be repaired, replumped, and restored. He seems to have been sewed together with something like fishing line, and it’s showing more than it once did—I’d prefer proper thread if possible. His eyes are scarred and he’s missing his nose and mouth. Would it be possible to get him in the queue for attention? I’d be grateful to see him in better shape than he was even when I was a child.id just love for him to look loved and taken care of again.
All best, Daniel

Hi Daniel, I can give your teddy a spa treatment, new nose, fix up his holes & give him new stuffing. Ruth

Hi Daniel, Your teddy is ready to go home. He had his spa treatment. Then taken completely apart to remove the fishing line stitching - that was quite a job. He had nylon stockings as part of his stuffing - I guess your mom did that. Then he was restitched & restuffed. Ruth

Thanks soo much. Can't wait to see him. Daniel

Hello Dr. Ruth, I hope you're doing well. I would like to ask for your assistance in recovering my whale plush. I’m looking to have spa treatments and fur grafts done for him. Please let me know if this is possible, he has been operated on once before by my grandma on his belly area but holes are starting to form all over. Thank you in advance for your help—I’m incredibly grateful and deeply appreciate your work, Sammy

I got out most of his stains. I’m wondering about his eyes. I’m are they suppose to have black felt within black the sewn lines? If so do you want me to put black felt on them. Ruth

Hi Dr. Ruth, Wow, he looks amazing !!! It’s been way too many years since I’ve not seen him with the stain on his head. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Dr. Ruth, Thank you so much for the update Thank you for working your magic on him! We really appreciate it and I can’t wait to see him. Thank you! Sammy

Hi Sammy, I’ve reinforced the inside of your whale. He needs a new belly. What colour would you like? I can give him a white, maybe off white or flesh colour .

Wow, a whole new side of Whaley I never thought I'd see hahahaha! I think his belly was originally white, but if not, the colour you have in the images attached work too.

Hi Sammy, He’s ready to go. I made a little hat. Wasn’t sure what colour it should be. It was hard to get a pattern from his original - is that his what it looked like.? I can do it again if you want another colour. Ruth

Hi Ruth, Oh my goodness what a handsome guy !! I haven’t seen him in such good shape in so long I almost didn’t recognize him Thank you so much for recreating his hat! I was wondering if you might be able to add a light blue ribbon instead of yellow. The ribbon was a light blue that matched his skin ! Either way, he looks amazing thank you so much again!

Hi Sammy, Your whale is finally done. He has a blue ribbon his hat now. He’s had many spa treatments but being a whale he’s use to that. He has a new belly & all new stuffing.

Good morning my daughter’s favourite bunny needs some TLC. We live in Vancouver and I can bring her her by anytime. Thanks so much. Sarah

Hi Sarah, I can replace the ear & foot pads. I’d suggest that your daughter picks out sone fabric she likes & then I can fix bunny. Ruth

Thank you very much. I will get the fabric soon.

Hi Sarah, Bunny is ready to go home. She has her new ear & footpads. I notice that her head is a little wobbly. Is that the way your daughter likes it? If not, I can add a bit of stuffing before you come.

Okay thank you. Yes, could you add more stuffing to plump her up and help her floppy neck? Thank you

Wonderful!! She looks renewed. Sarah

Attached is a picture of my husbands stuffed monkey from when he was a child. We just found out that we are expecting our first grandchild and I thought, if it's possible, we could gift my husband's monkey to the baby. I realize you will not be able to repair the rubber face and hands but was wondering if it can be cleaned, restuffed, and fur fixed.

Hi Candace, I can give Mr. Monkey a spa treatment & more stuffing, clean his face & hands . I can replace the fur on his arms - I’ll try to get a good match. I think the fur on his body, head back & legs are fine.

Hi Candace, Mr. Monkey is ready to go home. He’s had his spa treatment, more stuffing & his head & tail resewn.

He looks Great.
Thank you Candace

Yes I want you to line him with the towels I provided. Please keep the button eyes and belly button in the same spot (you can remove them but make sure there in the same spots and the same belly button and eye buttons). The yellow belly patch does not have to remain it is up to you! You can leave the yellow stitching repairs as possible that would be great! I just would like his whole body lined with the new. I also would like for you to switch his stuffing, since he has old orange sponge that is not going to last.
I want my yellow Teddy look new like the picture I gave you when I was small. Back to his original. That’s why I provided you with all the towels
Can you confirm you understand what I want ? Natasha

Yes I do. Thanks. I’ll take him apart leaving as much of the yellow stitching as possible. I may have to remove some. Ruth

Hi Ruth! He looked very similar to now in the pictures. He never had a mouth or nose just those buttons I placed. He came as a blank face bear exactly how he is molded now. He just had a little more skin of a towel texture that has worn down now. Under the yellow patch is more of the same yellow material just it is very thin under there so we covered it up with a cloth stitched on.

Hi Ruth I received Yellow Teddy today! He looks amazing ! I’m so happy with him Thank you so very much! I am truly impressed at his restoration! You are the best teddy bear doctor ever !Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Dr.Ruth he looks brand new! I am so happy with him, and thank you for leaving some of the pieces inside him! He should last me the rest of my life now! Thank you so so much! Please don’t forget his onesie and his red sweater with blanket! And priority shipping signature required! Thankyou so so much I am very happy ! I wish I can give you a big hug!

Awww Thankyou so much I am touched if I ever have any more stuffed animals in need of rescue I know where to send them now.
Just to confirm, his whole old body and head are inside him is that correct ?

Good evening Ruth I have attached photos showing my old panda, which you repaired a few years ago. There is some wear to the ears and the back.

I found some new panda stuffies that are a bit smaller but have a similar look. I was wondering if these new stuffies could be taken apart and the material used to patch up the original panda.

Please let me know your thoughts on approach.

I can do that for you.

Thanks so much.

Hi Dr. Ruth, I was recommended to you by my friend, who also sent his furry friends from Ottawa in for treatment alongside my Snoopy!

I was hoping to get a quote for a spa treatment and possibly some minor repairs/fur grafts for my four furry friends.

Here’s what I’m looking for:
Spa treatment: for all four PLUS
Fur graft: for Snoopy and Wishwing
Nose replacement: for Wishwing
Any recommendations you may have for Moose and Dog

Hi Betty, A cute group of stuffies. Moose needs his antlers stuffed & maybe a bit of stuffing. Dog needs more stuffing so he can hold his head up.

Treatments are approximate without seeing them. I’ll let you know if I see any other problems.

Hi Betty, Do you want all these patches to stay on dog? Ruth

The red patches, right? Those can be removed :)
Thank you,
Betty

Thank you so much for your amazing work! My friend was also very happy with the results :) Hope you have a great week!

I found out about your stuffy hospital through Google maps and I’m reaching out to ask about the possibility of freshening up one of my stuffies. It’s very special to me, and I’d love to see if you might be able to restore it a little.

I’ve attached some photos showing how it looked before and how it looks now. My main requests would be:
- Washing/cleaning it (a spa!)
- Re-stuffing or fluffing it a bit (it used to be very nicely stuffed—still very soft but just fuller. Now it’s a bit flat)
- Repairing or fixing the nose

Please let me know if this is something you might be able to help with, and if so, what the process and approximate cost might be.

Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! Warmly,
Shangrila

Hi Shangrilao, I can help your stuffy by giving him a spa treatment & grooming, fix his nose & give him more stuffing.

Hi Shangrila, Your teddy is ready to go home. He’s had his spa treatment, nose fixed, & more stuffing.

Thanks, soo much. Shangrila
