DP has bought one from a charity shop... to SKIN! He plans to wear it as a cape and right now hes using the thing as target practise for his Nerf gun.

I think Ive watched too much Toy Story, but honestly, it looks like its shedding a tear!

Save it please, before it's too late. Donate it back to the nearest charity shop. Sad

It looked so proud on the day he bought it too. Wagging its tail as he carried it home under his arm...

You do realise it will take days to hoover up the stuffing.

He is a boy, there is nothing you can do to convince him that this is wrong.

He can clear it up, Im not having blood on my hands.

NOOOOO!!! this is truly nasty! Poor little tiger :( (am honestly quite sad.)

has he read the velveteen rabbit?

LynetteScavo · 26/10/2010 23:24

Obviously not!

thefruitwhisperer · 26/10/2010 23:26

He reads Marvel Zombie comics, so I doubt it! And hes just asked if I'd prefer if he used me as target practise.

I might 'gift' it to his nephew when SIL visits and then he cant kill it?

Oh goodness! Sad Please donate to your DN! I totally don't think that yabu, makes me sad to think about it...save him whilst you still have time! P.s can't he just buy some stripy fur material and cut it into shape?

thefruitwhisperer · 26/10/2010 23:33

I said Id make him one on the sewing machine but he wants his cape to have a face. Sad
