Hi All

My little beanie buddy Sol after many years of love has finally gotten ill. His little orange feet have holes in them and i have had to try and sew them up the best i can do, but im not a seamstress and he looks more mangled than cared for.
A decision to send him to Australia to get mended by a kind lady has been taken up so he is off on his travels there tomorrow. I will wrap him up well and send him International Recorded Delivery.....

So maybe he has ended up with my affliction, could it be amphibious arthritis?

    Oh that is sad. Hope he comes back as new.
    Isn't there anyone nearer?

    Hello, I'm sorry, I'm sure he'll miss you like mad. Wish him a safe journey and a fast return after his surgery. Years ago my Mum had to operate on my Teddy, he needed a skin graft. Apart from having a different colour back, he's been fine! :smile:
    Hope you don't miss him too much! :wink:
    Love Suexx

    Hopefully , Sol , will enjoy his adventure and come back with photos of his trip . Our little Ted went on hloiday to Gran Canaria last year with our daughter and son in law and had lovely pictures of the fancy ice creams he took a liking to ; strangely , he didn't gain weight but our daughter did !

    Of course he'll miss you, but then, when he feels better and comes back to you all mended, he'll thank you for sending him. :wink:

    Aw Elaine,
    That is some journey for a little frog. At least he will be able to eat enough flies to keep his strength up. :shock:
    I hope he recovers quickly and will be back before you know it.

    Hi I

    Thats him posted off today, cost me £7.85 to send him and $30.00 dollars for his fare back, expensive little dude! His little beady eye was staring at me through the bubble wrap when i sealed the jiffy bag, felt quite guilty!
    Im hoping he dont get airsick of lost...:-(
