Description
Windseeker in his favorite spot on the couch.About Windseeker:
Without going into any details as to why he looks the way he does, you can judge the job I did fairly by viewing the following images' links: atfirstplush.deviantart.com/ar… atfirstplush.deviantart.com/ar… atfirstplush.deviantart.com/ar… in order from left to right. If you feel I did him justice, that's awesome, if not, I totally accept your point of view. But I doubt anyone other than myself would have attempted the amount of love, time and labor it took to make Windys pelt whole and mount worthy. He's not perfect, but that's ok with me.
He is my absolute top favorite soft mount of mine, of all time. I take him just about everywhere with me (aside from the store) and he's with me in bed every night. He means so much to me in so many ways.
I even have a picture of him shortly after he was taken. It makes me sad, but I cherish him more so, soooo VERY much.

Aww, I think I like this form of Taxidermy!It looks much nicer than posed in a lab or something. I don't know if it already says somewhere, and pardon my lack of knowledge, but what do you use to fill the pelt?

He really does seem to have changed a lot since I last saw him. His eyes look mellower and less intense than before.

LOL, since I do the house cleaning, any fuzzy goes where I think the fuzzy should go...lol. It's funny, they get the couch, where as the living dogs don't even get to look at it...XD
I think Windy really would rather be in bed at this point...lol.

lol, yup, even thought I vaccum and clean the couches in my house, Phoenix still has to stay in my room unfortunately. But Phoenix gets my bed when my dog is only allowed to sleep next to it (mostly because even though he is a labrador, my bed is to high for him to jump on.
Yeah, Phoenix is pretty happy he is in bed all curled up next to me
