Terrie - NEAT pics! I'm so glad you delayed work to let them stay! What a heart of gold you have!

Gritsar...yes, bittersweet is the perfect descriptor.

Chicky T - I confess, I teared up. Hello, my name is Wynette, and I'm a cryer.

Awww that's so sad and amazing!

Poor little guy.

Just proves that animals, no matter how small or big, all have feelings just as us and deserve as much respect as us!
What a sad and loving story; it's amazing how animals can bond with each other.
