Animal Transport

Today was Lucy’s big day. She had been in foster for about a year and finally her forever mom was found. I picked her up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning and she was such a sweetheart. Not one word out of her on the ride up to Bakersfield. I believe she knew she would never see her foster mom again and she was a little sad over that; but when we arrived at her new home she was a little hesitate at first, but quickly warmed up to the daughter and off they went playing, everything forgotten about for now.
Also along for this ride was a bird that will be going to some folks that have a large outdoor aviary and I am sure she/he will do fine there. The bird did have a broken wing, which I am sure will be looked at as soon as they get her/him to the new home. All in all it sounds like a win for all.

This little blue mommy was so scared when I picked her up from a shelter, I just had to wonder what this poor girl had gone through in her life. None of it was pleasant, I am sure. She is definitely afraid of men, she went right to the female staff person, but wanted nothing to do with me. The staff person at the kennel where she will be staying for a few days was also male and she wasn’t too happy with him either. Now maybe that she is pregnant has something to do with it, but I don’t think so. I am sure this is not her first litter (maybe 4-5), who knows. I am sure living in the backyard somewhere won’t endear anyone to the finer points in life. I am hoping that there is someone in her future with a lot of patience and love to give, as this little girl cries out for it.
