Thanks for the update on Sadie and the pup. I am really sorry that your pup's eye is not going to make it. That is a tough call there. I am still praying that things look up for you and yours. I will tell you this, Sadie and your pup has been a trial for you, then to top it off your hubby's plant burning to the ground add to the stress of it all. But Sara you are one strong woman even if you don't think you are. You have over come so much in just a little over a month, girl if you can survive this then you can survive anything. Thank you for sharing your period of growth with us. I can only hope that when/if I am every in a struggle of life like you have been in the past month, that I can deal with it half as graciously as you have.

As far as an award and courage that should all go to Sadie. I wish I had just half the courage she has. I did for her no different than I would of done for any other injured or sick animal. I guess that is why people in the area often come to my door with animals in need, they think I'm a vet. {I wish} I am proud of what I have been able to do for her but it has come with a price. I clearly have had no experience with her type of injury so I have worried the whole time if I was doing the right thing or not. Once her surgery area is totally healed and I'm sure there is no infection I will be able to take my worry down a notch and breath again. I have been on pins and needles for 40 days now so hopefully I will be able to relax soon. We have been making plans for her for after her recovery. She will lead a pampered chicken life. Thank you for your kind post, it touched my heart.
SARA

Jean, your post put a tear in my eye. You say I am a strong woman and that is the part that got me. Before I got sick 3 years ago I WAS a strong woman. There wasn't anything I was afraid of and I would try anything and I felt like I could do anything that came along. Since I have been sick I struggle with the smallest of things. Picking out cloths or wrighting a check are a challendge. So No I don't think I am a strong woman. Having to deal with Sadie these last 41 days has made me aware of how far out of the loop I have become. I can only say that if I showed any strenth or couage it came from Sadie. She is the strong and brave one. I really appreciate your confidance in me though. Your post have always been positive and uplifting and I appericiate it. I could have never made it without the support from BYC and my friend Sadie. Thanks,

Your frend

I have wonderful news. Miss Sadie has once again begun to preen her tail feathers. She is also holding her tail feathers up at all times now and I saw her do a tail swish, something you often see hens do. I beleive we are at the edge of the woods now and it sure does look good. Thanks everyone for your kind words and support.

Absolutely! I'm so glad she is coming along. Kudos to you for your hard work and caring, and to her for her pluck!!

Oh!! That is WONDERFUL news, Sara!!

(It's so good to hear some GOOD news with all the awful dog attack stories I'm reading on here today. Big hugs to Sadie.

P.S.
You asked me in a pm how "my" little roo is doing now. He is excellent. He lost the sight in his one eye but he is happy, active, crowing, etc. I'm so happy for both Sadie and Robin Hood.

I had to stop and do a double take when she did the tail swishing. I'm thinking did she do what I think she did. IT WAS GREAT!!!!!

I'm so happy Robin Hood is doing good. I've worked with many injured and disabled animals through the years and they don't let it slow them down. Us humans tend to have more problems with the disbility than the animal does.

My hatchery was being called "Sisters"

Now its called "Sister Sadies"

What do you think. I like it. It feels right.
