The change in Beau's feet is just amazing, and the fact that his feet can now be tended without having to resort to sedation is just a tremendous story of love and care. It just goes to show what can be accomplished. I have to say that it was scary to read about him kicking out when anyone attempted to touch his back feet. I don't think I could have been so brave.Gennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695642340244699402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-25429909779699436222011-01-23T11:32:12.380-08:002011-01-23T11:32:12.380-08:00Yay!

Your love of these animals is so apparent in the last three posts that I truly think you have performed a small miracle.<br />One of the things that we do when we choose to share our lives with animals is to show them the same unconditional love that they show us. You, my dear, show each of your critters this kind of love. <br />You seem to understand what they need and go out of your way to give them the best that you can offer. <br />I'm so glad that Beau found you. He has found a sanctuary of care and love at Critter Farm.farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-29466376656529033172011-01-22T14:14:57.698-08:002011-01-22T14:14:57.698-08:00A wonderful story to be sure.
