Our brand new SARF t-shirts just arrived! They are awesome. Guelah, our permanent resident platypus, couldn’t resist trying one on, but unfortunately his neck (or lack thereof) didn’t quite cooperate. A few quick alterations should do the trick.
We made this guy for the folks at Toybrary Austin. He’s their official logo bear come to life. We love him. They love him.

The SARF Spa is hoppin’ this week (metaphorically, of course, as Nurse Susan isn’t one for hopping. She’s much too busy tending to the needs of our patients)! We’re currently evaluating a beautiful vintage poodle, adjusting the gait of a large giraffe, and stitching up a festive kitty, a lovely spritely humanish creature, and a small dog who brought along his best stuffed friend to keep him company.
