Hey Pals,

We know that some of you collect the antique terrier stuffies/wheelies or bears, etc. and Mama has a bunch of them to list on her store. (You should see our loft, it's buried in stuffies!)

SO, we thought we would show some of them to you here on the blog so that our pals get first dibs if they are interested in any of them.

For the terriers listed below, we will give our pals 10% off of the price listed on here. The price also includes free shipping to the USA. If they do not sell within 7 days, then we will list them onto Mama's store TEDDY BEAR FACELIFTS.

(Some of these animals still need to go to the Teddy Bear Facelifts SPA for a day. As you probably know, Mama is way behind on things with looking after Snickers for the last several weeks. Each animal will be properly cleaned & fixed up.)

Unknown German Maker Fox Terrier On Wheels $175.00


Possibly Made By Schuco Terrier On Wheels $125.00 (needs SPA day!)



Chiltern Gold Soft Terrier (probably 1950-60s) $125.00

(soft toy made by Chiltern - pearl cotton stitched eyes-safe for children)
Chiltern Fox Terrier (1940s) $125.00


Merrythought Fox Terrier (1940s) $125.00 (this one needs SPA day for sure!)


Pedigree Fox Terrier (1955-66) $125.00


Petz Terrier (1950-60s) $175.00


Unknown Maker Probably German Terrier (1940-60s) $100.00

Unknown Maker Possibly British Fox Terrier (1940-60s) $50.00


If you have any questions on these terriers or would like more information & photos emailed to you, please email us at: teddybearfacelifts@yahoo.com

We also have 2 of the Mutton Hollow Critter Teddy Bears listed on the store site now. Here are their pictures:

Model Name: BUTCHY 18" Teddy Bear $230.00



Model Name: DANNY 16" Teddy Bear $235.00


The bear prices include shipping to the USA. There will be a third bear listed this weekend, a different style, different mohair & coloring.
Thanks for looking & be sure to tell your friends about our store.

Well we don't have any new change in Snickers' condition to report today. Swelling is the same size, she's still eating, drinking, etc. So no new news is good news right??

Happy Friday to Everyone!
Wirey Hugs,
Butchy, Snickers, Ruby, Sylvester & Scuby

So far, here are the sweet pups entered in the December Dog Photo Contest. Let me know in the Comments who you think is cutest! And don’t forget to enter your dog – just email me no more than two pictures at thoughtsfurpaws@gmail.com.                        

I just found out "Sandy Claws" (Santa for the pups) isn't making an appearance this year. Boo! I also just found out there is a Dog Beach Committee in the Ocean Beach Town Council. I might have to join and see what I can do to help. Must bring Sandy Claws back.

If your pet is injured or you come across an injured pet, it’s important to know the basics of handling in order to prevent harm to yourself and further harm to your pet.

Even the most gentle of pets can be unpredictable when in pain.

• Call your veterinarian immediately to explain the situation
• If you suspect a fracture, muzzle your pet
• If your pet is vomiting, do not use a muzzle
• If you are unable to get your pet into a carrier, use a thick blanket as a stretcher to carry your pet into the car
