Alley, happily ever after in all her upcycled glory.
Alley in situ
We walked down our
alley and saw the saddest road kill ever. It was a completely squashed and
mangled green mess. I took a photo and posted it to some friends. I got so much
feedback on the formerly plush creature, that on our walk the next day I brought a
body bag. Beyond believe, there was a pulse. This was an Intensive Care
Unit case. Blind and missing a limb, emaciated beyond belief, amazingly, our
little alligator had not bled out.
The following treatments were administered:
cataract surgery so our patient can now see
bionic leg replacement
Botox and
plastic surgery on various wounds especially the tail and belly
reverse
liposuction i.e. putting the fat back in
complete spa treatment including
bubble bath, hot rocks and massage, organic dye job i.e. food coloring.

the Alligator now resides on my car dashboard with a much higher view of the world.

The whole process with music to celebrate the rebirth!
Alley, wet but clean.
