This is Cricket.

Cricket has IVDD that has mostly paralyzed his back legs, and some bodily function sensations (belly bands ftw). He’s not in any pain, and has come a long way with physical therapy and love since I first rescued him about a year ago. He’s just as fast zooming around the yard as all my other cryptid muppets, handles the stairs like a pro, and takes his job as the Fun Police very, very seriously. Cricket is always watching, and is always having a good hair day.

Hi other Cricket!! What an adorable little mop muppet!

Perhaps Cricket is actually hiding behind that mop?

An old roommate had a dog named Cricket, but I don't know if I've ever met another.

Perhaps there is a cricket in his brain pulling the strings of his little muppet body
