Patched Up
Doughnuts
Opal and Agathe had the job of temporarily anaesthetising the crocodile…they accomplished this with home made doughnuts…
Mending Yarn
Having succumbed to a sugar coma, the crocodile was attended to by Rose, who got to work with her old sock patch and mending yarn…
Band Aid
and after the successful surgery, she applied a protective bandaid.
Offering!
The revived crocodile headed back to the swamp, and we may have been making assumptions referring to it as “him”. Apparently the crocodile left Opal, Agathe and Rose a thank you present…
We appreciated all the suggestions about colourful or celebratory patches, but as she had to return to her natural habitat, we felt the more unobtrusive the patch, the more likely she was to survive in the wild. Survival of the fittest and all that.
Happy Darwin Day!
Quimper Hittys 
Good job girls!!! Do you suppose the crocodile might come back for the hatching????
We aren’t completely sure, the crocodile has to go back to her usual home, and it is rather far away from the Hitty cupboard!
It seems there is never a dull moment in the QH household. The anesthesia seems to have worked well.
Multiple doughnuts seem to have the same effect on the Quimper Hitty human!
I feel the need for anesthesia…can I come to your house?
Yes indeed! Though our Cupboard can be rather sedate(d) post-doughnut.
According to PBS, alligators and crocodiles are quite wonderful mothers…. so it is indeed possible that Madame Crocodile will come back to check in on her baby :0
She may have good intentions, but we’ll see. The Block Twins are excited about the egg!
My sister just had the first stage of a root canal. I wonder if a doughnut would have worked for her during the surgery? The Quimper HIttys are very thoughtful girls!!
I think we shall have to acquire an international partner, and undertake some trials and research! What do you say – want to be part of this noble cause?
such courage! Happy to learn the operation was a rousing success and all survived. Hmmm that egg mayprove to be quite interesting.
We are sure the egg will prove interesting – the Block twins are going to cherish and preserve it, and watch it carefully!
Hope there will be a baby Croc…….that egg needs to be kept warm……
We’ll all be watching with bated breath!
