Ok, second attempt at a foam base.
CANNOT say the process got easier. In fact I would say this one took WAY longer. Maybe it's the different species.
But, I am NOT happy with how this one has turned out, but I am done trying to make it work. DO NOT feel like starting over, so I am just going to press forward and hope that furring makes him better. Or maybe I need a break from looking at him for so long. grrrrrrrr. The ears are "weird" on purpose as they are the best I could figure to do for a base for floppy ears, just winging it here after all. And my attempt at follow me eyes.

This is Buddy, my oldest's yellow lab.
