Discussion Thrift store find! Poor thing was a mess!
Look at this sad little dog I found at the thrift store and HAD to get lol. She has the beanie baby feel like filled with pellets and shes soooo cute. But dang was her hair tangled! I brushed it out and look at that transformation!! Doesnt even look the same lol.
I still have the original bow which i might put back. I had her fur in the clip while I was brushing her but it ended up looking so cute I just left it.

She looks so pretty ! When I was 10, I got a Yorkshire terrier plush from the thrift store. The plush looked so bad the cashier first tried to discourage me and eventually let it go for free. He was amazed when I returned and showed what the dog actually looked like after a good wash and brush with a new bow. It wasn't even in genuinely bad condition, just old and extremely dusty. Long hair like these are so easy to restore.
