You'll Never Believe
Here's a pet story you'll never believe. Huge animal lover here. I am ant-hunting, you name it. My man came in one day all upset and he was running around with a bundle in his arms looking for a heating pad...."Help ME!" ... "Can you save them?" I was at a lose. I had to grab him and ask firmly..."SAVE WHAT?" He opened the shirt to reveal 5 baby possums with no hair and their eyes still closed. I flipped. Their mother was hit by a car and he stopped and rescued them from her pouched. One (I'm sad to say) died on the way to my house. Two other died that same night.
Today....we have Luna and her brother MuChoo who are about 4 1/2 months old now. I made several calls and sent more then two dozen emails that weekend to rescue groups trying to get help and advice. No one thought they would make it...not even me. So tiny and so young. There was no one nearby that could or would take them. Everyone I contacted said to either leave them to die...they would put them down....or for me to do my best....ughhh!
We spent more then two months feeding and bathing these two helpless creatures every four hours. All hours of the day and night...taking them to the store and appointment so they wouldn't miss feedings. I was determined to see them through this one way or another. We had a few close calls but I'm happy to say that they are both happy and healthy to this day.
Now if I can get someone to ever call me back so they can see a doctor we might really get somewhere....ha ha!--
