i got Lucy ,my teil, from a lady that could no longer care for him because she was ill and all of the sudden had to find new homes for ALL her animals. she asked my mm's boss if she would like to have her since she know she loves animals. she said "sorry.i only take dogs and cats." my mom overheard her and ran into the room asking how much he was because she knew i'd LOVE to have him. she said as long as a promise to take care of him i can have him for free. so he came to live with me and my family.we LOVE him to bits!!!
