giraffe surgery

Nate loves giraffes, and has quite a collection of them. Yesterday Nate found this guy at the GW and instantly fell in love. He named him Diamond, since he was found on a diamond day at the Goodwill (to help you understand this term, I refer you to the November post of 'A Diamond Day'). Well, Christopher was playing with him and twisted his neck, and that was the end of his upright posture. Nate was sad, so there was only one thing to do----surgery!
Here is Diamond with his broken neck.
Here is Diamond in a fully upright and perky position after a few stitches, and about 20 cotton pads were stuffed in his neck. Nate helped me with the procedure. Can you see his scar? He's as good as new,--- or should I say good as used? :)

Oh no! Glad Diamond is all better. Maybe Pretzel and Diamond will become friends. :) Love, Auntie Leann
