Cricket found a home here in February 2006.
When she arrived she was in quite good
condition for a girl of her age.

Here is a picture from her auction.

Most of her eye whites were yellow and she was in need of a good bath. Her only major flaws were that her scalp was lifted and her faceplate was warped and did not match up to the back due to her previous owner attempts to open her head.
*shame shame*
Much of her work was needed inside her head to
restore the proper shape to her faceplate.

Her hair was extremely frizzy...
the type that dreadlocks are made of.

Although I enjoy good ol' Kenner Frizz,
this was to the point that I could not work with her
hair due to severe matting.
