Neglectable Pets: PinkEye

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

PinkEye has just that.

Despite her impressive grades and Master's degreen in early childhood education, she has great difficulty find any work in her chosen field.

After all, who wants their kid around someone with pink eye?.

It's too bad, that chronic pink eye. She's really very nice, actually. The nice thing about it is that if anyone wants to keep manhandling your neglectable pet, you can simply say "Don't touch! She has pink eye!"

::Neglectable pets: bizarre and fun creatures that come with their own bizarre and erratic official papers that prove something not yet determined. All pets are made one at a time by myself, making use of two decades worth of my mother's fabric and notion scraps. Each has a mouth that is a fully functional pocket for you to hide valuable stuff. You can neglect them and yet they will retain a continual look of crazy-eyed bemusement. Each pet is original, one-of-a-kind, and based on a pattern of my own creation.::

Materials: Fleece, cotton, pinto beans, ribbon, clear acrylic.
Size: About 6" high, 5" wide, and 2" thick (thickness varies)
Other:Spot wash. [Do not immerse in water, since this neglectable pet obediently downed a bag of pinto beans before being put on the market for adoption. The beans keep him upright on dry land, but they'd drown him in the wash. And make him bloat something awful.]
Price: SOLD
