Another three Teddies were recently discharged from Sasha’s Teddy Bear Hospital, and were therefore able to celebrate Christmas with their families! These included a much admired French bear known as Madame Martin, a nice middle-aged Koala, and adorable Little Ted.

Among the Teddy Bears successfully treated at Sasha’s Teddy Bear Hospital in the last month were Albert, who was suffering from rather large holes and loss of sense of smell and taste (on account of no longer having a nose and a mouth); young Rose, who accidentally lost an eye; 93-year-old Ted, who required major facial and abdominal surgey, and a new voice; and a certain Winnie the Pooh, who had been badly in need of some stuffing and a little nose job)) You can see how happy he looked once his treatment was over!

I suppose I have to consider renaming Sasha’s Teddy Bear Hospital to reflect the fact that an ever growing number of my patients - such as Peter, Doggy and Micky below - happen to be of a canine disposition. To be fair, over the years I have also had some felines, the latest being the inimitable Matt, who now has his whiskers back!

More Teddies, both traditional and modern, have been discharged from Sasha’s Teddy Bear Hospital in the past two weeks. This time, the injuries I treated included a missing nose, lost stuffing, torn limbs, and, in the case of a bear called Dodo, even accidental decapitation!

As always, I was very happy to take part in the Goring Christmas Craft Fair, which was held at the Goring Village Hall this weekend: meeting old friends and making new friends too, buying some nice Christmas presents, and of course presenting some new Teddies that I had made in the last few weeks.

The fair was a big success - quite a few of my Teddies were adopted, finding nice new homes where I am sure they will bring plenty of joy to their adoptive families!

There has been an surprisingly large proportion of dogs among the patients treated at Sasha’s Teddy Bear Hospital over the past couple of months. Of those pictured below, two were called Bruno (I'll let you guess which two), one was Todd, and one was not called anything in particular but was most unusual, as he had wheels!

Despite the abundance of dogs amongst my recent patients, the majority of creatures coming for treatment at Sasha’s Teddy Bear Hospital are still Teddy Bears - with an occasional Teddy Panda too)) 

Some of those discharged in the last few weeks had felt distinctly flat when they arrived - but full of life (and stuffing) again by the time they were ready to leave.

Of all the patients ever admitted to my Hospital, none travelled as far as Mr. Edward B. Jones. He came literally from the other side of the globe - from Perth, Australia!

Mr. Jones was in a stable but critical condition when he arrived, with half his head missing. He had also lost both eyes, though one had been recovered. 

Life-saving surgery took a while, but Edward responded well to my treatment, and was eventually pronounced fully recovered. He then made a long journey back home and was finally reunited with his family today

Says his owner: "I am most impressed as to what you have done to Edward, he looks so good. I wished I had heard of you a long time ago."
