did the unthinkable. Or maybe it's only unthinkable if you have a small child. But either way, she did something that brought instant tears and sadness to our home.
She attacked my son's favorite elephant. The one I gave him for his 7th birthday, that he said made him brave and strong. The one he can't sleep without.
Doesn't look so bad, huh?
Elefanty would kindly disagree.
After I calmed down my son & evaluated the
After I got back, I reassured my son again that all hope was not lost, and set to work.
Gauge wanted to photograph me performing "surgery". This is what a Cody past her bedtime with a headcold looks like.
After five minutes of intense surgery, Elefanty went into recovery. He was a little loopy at first, but was able to sit on his own.
Besides some soggy material and a little bunching by his eye, Elefanty was as good as new and ready to be reunited with his boy!

*Let it be noted when I set down to write this blog post, I scooted stuff across my table to make room for my tissue box and jabbed my hand with my lost sewing needle.
Snuffy was a dog I had for 13 years. She was a delightful Schnoodle. When I finally decided to set up a sewing room in spare room, one thing I added was a daybed found at garage sale. Someone I sort of knew at the hospital made me a lacy heart pillow, never knew why, guess she thought I needed one. It had a place of honor on that daybed. That was until Snuffy found it. Every day, she would take it off the daybed and put it on the floor. Everyday, I would pick it up and put it back. This went on for years. She never really hurt it, just didn't like it up on the daybed. LOL
