The poor little puppet (A plush Sylvester the Cat, from the Warner Brother cartoons) made it through four washings, although I'll have to glue his eyes back on, after I douse the back of the plastic eyes with some bleach. We think he's OK now, although there's one tiny stain on one of his little hands that we couldn't get out. When I texted FB, he said he was just grateful that we had one potential save.
