Frisbee the Morgan Dog

Morgan style dogs were around in the late 50s through the 70s (at least). They were very popular in the 60s. My mom has one that was brown from the 60s, and when I was little I had my own pink Morgan dog. There's a photo somewhere of me sitting on it as a baby. So I have lots of references when a Morgan comes to the hospital, because both of those dogs are still around.

Frisbee's person wrote several years ago asking for help. At the time, he was about 60 years old, which dated him to the 50s. Here's his first diagnosis photo. His person was hoping to have him cleaned and rejuvenated:

The plan for Frisbee was a spa (color separation required), Fully recovering his brown areas), stitching up wounds and new eyes.

He started with a spa (no photo because he was a bit embarrassed that his muzzle wasn't on for safety).

Next, we had to decide on his new fur for his brown bits. There were a couple of good options:

His person opted for the longer fur. Once recovered, he got restuffed with new, modern stuffing and a heart of his original stuffing included:

You can see why he'd lost weight by how compressed the old stuffing was.

Next were his eyes. Unfortunately, there weren't good young Frisbee photos, and Morgan dog eyes vary a lot! First, I tried using his existing eye remnants as a reference:

Not quite right (although his new fur was a hit!)... he needed plastic pupils, and a different shape. So we went through many options:

That first photo (which was the last try) was the one! Finally, Frisbee's vision was restored to 20/20 and he was ready to go home:

"Perfect!!!!" said his person!

Frisbee's person actually drove up to pick him up. He's been home over a year now, and is happily ensconced at home:
