Last summer I got a package in the mail that was addressed to, “Intimidnation Plush Hospital.” Inside of the box was a plush Piglet that had been attacked by a dog and had it’s innards removed and a leg torn off. My cousin was pretty upset that her cuddly pig had been through such a horrible attack. There was only one thing that I could do… operate.

As you can see in the photo above, Piglet was wounded pretty badly.

(right before surgery)

Piglet’s surgery was very successful! His belly is now full and I managed to create a prosthetic plush leg and sew it back on with no problems. Let’s just hope he can manage to stay away from that unruly dog!

Take a minute to check out the daily cartoons by artist and illustrator, Dave Granlund. Not only is he my Dad (and the best-est Dad in the whole wide world) but he is also an amazingly talented political cartoonist.

Here are just a couple of his illustrations - You can check back at www.davegranlund.com for the daily cartoon!
