I did the same thing for Bella’s doll. She watched every stitch I made to make sure I wasn’t hurting her or messing her up. Then I handed her back her doll. She was so excited to have her back. I think I was raised to sainthood in dog thoughts. 3 days later she ripped it again but unrepairable this time 🙁 I did not let her see me throw it away. She’s young enough that she looked around for a couple of minutes and forgot about Dolly. On to the next toy. 😆
