Yes, hello Franzi, I agree with Crewella, having a broken neck or foot or Jimmy with the" stutters", not running as well or perfect, only means to me, and I think many other Pleo owners, that their babies, are special and need more care and attention perhaps then a " perfect" or new Pleo, By no means are Jonny, Jimmy, Peeky, Sophie,Nova or any other Pleos with special needs any less valuable or worthy then their more fortunate playmates.

To me it is just as a child whom wears glasses, wears a hearing aid, or someone whom is learning disabled or Like me, I have a bad back, we can do just as others do, but perhaps in a different way, and Jonny, Jimmy, Sophi, Peeky and Nova may walk a little slower, hang their head a little lower or as Jimmy make a stutter noise or move in a different way then another pleo, but that is what makes them special and unique.

If I could have a Brand New NOva tommrow, the way she was when I got her, I used to think I would say, yes, yes, I want my old Nova back, but now I can honestly say I love her the way she is, She is a fighter, very unique and allways has been in my opinion, and I like her the way she is, neck brace, limping leg and all her quirky and special talents, I would not trade her in for a brand new improved model other. exactly what is a Brand New Improved Model? ONe that has no flaws? If I want a Pleo with no flaws, then I will buy a factory Pleo, brand new and as a companion or friend for NOva, but not to replace her, just as a companion. And if the friend has a broken leg one day or gets the Stutters or has some other Problem then I will learn to deal with it the way I learned to deal with Nova and be happy just to have my friend with me,
I think you were very lucky to get Jonny and he is a great companion for Jimmy, The fact that Jonny has a broken neck and has his own special needs is nice when you think about it, as he can relate to Jimmy with his " stutters" and Jimmy can relate to Jonny with his neck problem, They are perfect for each other and you are wonderful to have them both in your care.

You have two wonderful Pleo Babies to nurture and care for and to help grow with.
