My Living Room Turns Into an ER

An emergency came into the living room one night...


"Momma, do you think he can be saved?"


....
....
...
....

It was touch and go for a few minutes.
Momma's hands suddenly couldn't thread a needle.  
Finn had to be brought into the waiting room (kitchen).
The lion needed to be sedated.


The surgery was successful and Mr. Lion rests post-op.


And he's back in the game.  
Being bitten in the same arm which almost fell off several moments before.




Thank you to Cotton for this award!  We love it!

  1. I'm glad the patient could be saved, and I think Mr. Lion agrees too with his 'thumbs up' afterwards--Who gets the bill for this surgery though? :-)

    I hope you're all doing well, and enjoy your weekend!!

  5. Wow - good save! Similar emergencies in my house generally result in death by de-stuffing. I've never seen my momma use a needle and thread.

    Congratulations on your award!

    I hope you and your humans have a nice weekend!

    your pal,
    Garth

  7. Yay for Mom doing surgery on Mr. Lion and saving him. Now Finn give Lion some time to heal. We don't want a broken arm again. Too cute. Have yourselves a super week end.

  10. It's a good thing that Momma is good with a needle!

    Elka always chews the part I just repaired on a toy, too. I guess it's extra interesting there!

  14. Do you think your surgeon could come here and try to save the many animals in trouble from the Jaws of Steel master Lightning?
