Shh! Don't break Fio's concentration. Inspired by the much-publicized prosthesis for Midnight, a miniature horse, she's working on a prosthesis for an even smaller animal--an elephant.
Fio's elephant is three inches tall and carved from a very hard wood. Wendy Dog knocked it off the window sill a couple of days ago, and its passenger-side back leg hasn't been seen since. (Wendy probably ate it.)
Fio considered paper mache or pine for the repair job, but finally settled on art clay. It will shape to the wood, adhere, and harden, but can be chipped away if the missing limb is ever recovered.
Ah, these advances in medical science. Fio is only too happy to contribute her minuscule share.

I don't think I'll be coming to Fio for a heart transplant!
