Due To A Bright Idea I Had Some Time Ago -

- I've just wiled away a couple of hours stitching together a toy for Bingo using some old socks, a recently purchased squeaker (£5.99 for 50) and some stuffing from inside a disused pillow.

A good idea, in theory.
     The problem is that now I've actually finished I find that two and a half hours have passed, I have destroyed 3 old socks and stitched my way through yards of thread, and the end result is.....ugly.

Very ugly in fact.
     Ugly as sin.
     .....I mean I knew it probably wouldn't look especially great. I knew that. But.....


=sigh=

A skilled seamstress I am most definitely not.
     Still. Bingo will like it.
     So t'was all worthwhile and I shall feel very pleased with myself when I give it to him.

.....He WILL like it, right?
     I mean, dogs don't care about how things look, right? Of course not; they don't care about things like that. He'll just like it because I've given it to him. A toy from Mommy. He'll love it. Of course he will.
     Right?
 
.....It will smell of me. He'll like that.
     Plus it squeaks. I know it does because I've checked. Several times now.
     He'll love it.

.....Right? Right??

UPDATE: having returned from visiting The Grandmama at 2:45-PM, Bingo was presented with the toy (affectionately christened "Thingy").
     Thirty-three minutes later, he is still playing with it with a rapt and thus far careful attention.

.....Safe to say, I think; he loves it.
