Attempted Murder

Well, there was an attempted murder in our basement on Sunday. Braylon had been playing with his stuffed animals downstairs and I reminded him repeatedly to make sure he took them up stairs when he was finished playing with them. He insisted that they were tired and needed to stay in the cave he had made for them. Eventually, I went up stairs to start dinner and Bray followed shortly behind me, forgetting the stuffed animals. A little while later I went down to check on Lando, who was laying quietly on the chair, and found Leopard with his face ripped open and stuffing everywhere. There were no eyewitnesses, but we do have the prime suspect behind bars.

I performed emergency facial reconstructive surgery, unfortunately one eye was not recovered and the other eye and the nose were too mangled to stitch back on. Braylon watched hopefully throughout the over 30 minute surgery then inspected the final results, asked where Leopard's nose and eyes were, and then declared that if he didn't have eyes and a nose "we had better just throw him in the trash". Check out the "My Little Patient" post for Leopard's Before picture. I don't think the After is too bad...considering. Braylon is currently trying to learn to look beyond the deformities and learn to love again. Although, he looked at me like I was a moron when I suggested on Monday morning that he take Leopard to school with him for nap time.
