Lucy
A week ago, I had the opportunity to meet Lucy and her babies. Although the babies were clearly the stars, I also fell immediately in love with momma Lucy. That she had been through hard times was obvious as she ate and drank incessantly, a characteristic of animals who have suffered serious food deprivation. In spite of that, she managed to deliver seven healthy babies and has proved to be an excellent mother.
It's never fair for any animal to get sick. But it's especially unfair that Lucy faces yet another hurdle. An email from Karalee late this afternoon brought the terrible news that Lucy appears wobbly. This is often the first indication of an impending head tilt. After all she has been through, the only thought that comes to mind is "This is so unfair."
But things are different this time. Lucy is no longer alone and abandoned. She has Karalee, Chuck, and Dr. Herrli on her side, as well as a host of friends and well wishers. So please send your prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
