Thread: New additions to Willow Oak

  1. #1

    New additions to Willow Oak

    It has been a few weeks since I last posted on PT. Sorry about that.

    Horace Lucky came to me about four months ago. The poor guy was skinny and emaciated, but in very good spirits, which have not diminished since arriving to Willow Oak.



    Just a couple of days ago, Sasha showed herself at my back door. I live in a pretty rural area, so from whence she arrived is a puzzle to me; but it quickly became apparent to me that she is not alone. I took her to the vet for a checkup, and it appears that she is 4 weeks "with child." Wonderful! I only have about 14 of the feline variety already.



    In the above picture, Sasha has newly arrived. She is not confined behind the bars -- I placed a cage for her so that she can hide, but ...

    ... she quickly showed that she is not shy.



    ...sorry about that. Sasha moves about so fast that I have a difficult time getting her to slow down for a picture.

    I don't think I have a choice. I am familiar with most of the people who live on my country road, and none of them are very responsible pet owners: they allow their dogs to run free and un-neutered. Hoards of dogs run free, and I see many litters about. I have a neighbor who has a couple of cages that are full of cats, and to my knowledge none of them have been fixed. I have sneaked over and have seen litters of kittens in the pens.

    I suspect that I know who the owner is, and I assure you that Sasha will not be returning to her.

    So nice to see you here. Horace is quite the handsome young man. And what a smile!
    Sasha is a beautiful gal. Where is Ed...she looks like she could be a sibling. Thanks for sharing.

    Both look to be quite special. A litter on the way, eh? Oh boy. You're really going to have your hands full now, as if you didn't already.
    Blessings,

    Good to see you here, Dan!

    Did the vet say anything about Sasha's age? Could it be her first litter? I'm glad she get's along well with Buddy and Darkly, but she may want her own little space when she gives birth. Who knows, Buddy and Darkly may be ready to mingle with the rest.

    Sasha is very lucky to have found her way to your door.

    I'm so glad you will be keeping her and I can't wait to see pictures of her litter. If I was closer to you I would take her in a minute. Although my husband might think otherwise.

    Horace Lucky is a very beautiful doggie.

    Thank you for all your help with these animals.

    Sasha looks so much like my heart kitty, Sugar (R/B) that my heart
    went pitter patter. Just curious, are her eyes blue?

    Boy, if I was closer, I would take her in a minute.

    Congratulations on all of the good work you are doing for these special
    animals!

    Sasha has one blue eye and one green. I am wondering if she is deaf in one or both of her ears. I think that she is not totally deaf. She is very small, and I fear for her delivery. With all of the animals that I have, and for her sake I wish there were someone who had fewer animals to care for, who might take her in. I have contemplated taking Sasha to the animal shelter where I am confident she will be well looked after. But that is such a difficult thinkg for me to do.

    I placed Sasha in a room with Buddy and Darkly. Here is a video:

    Prayers for little Sasha.

    During the media call when there were some articles in the paper and you were selling copies of your book to help the shelter, did you come across any individuals who might have experience who could foster Sasha til she gives birth and after?

    Bless you for helping all these creatures.

    Gosh...if there was a way to set up something like Best Friends in Utah, you would be a perfect person to head it up!

    Sasha is a spark plug, isn't she?
