Hi, Percy here. As you can tell, this is one of those lazy days. So if you don't mind, I'll just introduce today's post while lying down with my eyes closed. Jan's hacking is still keeping us awake most of the day, so we have to catch a few winks when we can.But I'm awake. hones ...zzzzz. Oh, sorry. I almost dozed off. This kitty bed cushion is so soft and comfy. We don't have any news, so we'll just get right to the post.
Esperanza, Mother of the Year at Edmonton Humane, cared for and nursed 5 healthy puppies and a kitten, despite a severe fracture of the femur. When found and turned into the shelter, she needed surgery to repair her leg. Jake the kitten was temporarily separated from her canine family so she could learn to eat cat food.
If the video doesn't play, click here.
In an effort to save her leg from amputation Esperanza had the donated surgery on December 8 and was reunited with Jacob. The whole family will be going into foster care when a suitable home for their special needs is found.
Hope you enjoyed the vid ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
That is one hero of a Mommy!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful mother.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story about Esperanza - she looks like she might have some sibe in her. That kitty was very lucky - looks like the kitty thinks Esperanza is her mom.
