Something mysterious happened the other day when Craig and Jude had gone to the shops without me - I was home alone. I was sleeping on my pillow and when I woke up I found to my horror that someone had attacked my favourite toy, Mr Banana Man. His guts were spread all over the floor! The worst thing of all was that his squeaker had come out and somehow been flung under the couch. Now that I'm a big dog I can't fit under the couch any more ...
I was horrified! I think it might have been a racoon (like on Modern Family) that snuck into the house and attacked Mr Banana Man. I'm sure he (MBM) put up a great fight, but by the time I noticed what had happened it was too late - Mr Banana Man was slipping away. I couldn't do anything to help because I haven't got hands!
As soon as Craig and Jude got home I showed them what had happened. Fortunately Jude has medical training (she's accredited with the Google School of Medicine) - she rushed Mr Banana Man into intensive care. Then she came back and collected his guts and the squeaker - I tried to 'HELP'. Dr Jude found her surgical equipment (very similar to a regular sewing needle and thread) and performed an amazing procedure, a reverse squeakerectomy and some plastic surgery. You might just be able to see the stitches in the photo above.
After he got out of surgery, MBM had to take some bed rest. As you can see, he was doing it tough.
Anyway, Mr Banana Man is fully recovered now. I was playing with him just now and can assure you that he is squeaking and playing as well as ever. What a lucky escape! From now on I'll be on the alert for that pesky racoon - I will be sleeping with one eye open from now on.
Jude says it is strange that the racoon only comes and causes trouble when they are not home, but I know that this is because he's verrrry sneaky.
