Most horrifying pony-cleaning experience ever...
Finally have enough bookcases to start unboxing all of the ponies, so I'm going through and giving all of the ponies a light cleaning (minimal) before putting them out. Now, I use toothpaste and a very soft toothbrush, which has never caused a problem with So-Softs before. But as I'm cleaning Truly -- my VERY NEAR MINT Truly -- her flocking starts to just *melt* off.
No, not tiny rubs.
Not ear tips or noses or bottoms of the hooves.
Like the entire leg is suddenly very nearly deflocked -- only the GLUE is left.
O.O
After getting over the horror of this happening, I realize she's so far gone that I may as well finish the job and deflock her completely and get another one.
Still, I have NEVER seen that happen before. And it isn't the first time that I washed her.
I'm just glad it wasn't Crumpet or Twilight. (Who are already washed.)
