It began when when I tried to remove the old exo to give it more room to stretch out and found it was still attached somewhere but because of the position Sasquatch was in in I couldn't see where. I left it until next day and tried again, this time Sasquatch pulled away from it and freed itself. All day yesterday Sasquatch didn't move but sat curled up and I was beginning to think it was dead or dying. I even worried about missing limbs. This morning, thankfully, I found it stretched out, no limbs missing and moving.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF2258.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF2258.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
