Cute? I don't know- but it is kind.

Just abut the time you think everyone is selfish -- every man for himself -- along comes a story about an overwhelming amount of generosity and kindness that restores your faith in mankind. 

Thanks for posting the story.

@Victoria33 @Cyber Liberty @Freya @CatherineofAragon @Applewood @Suppressed

Victoria33, you are a gem to help your groomer. I will pray for her.

Harriet insisted on sleeping in bed last night. Not a peep out of her. She is eating well and resting now. I am monitoring her closely and so far, so good. Thanks for your kind thoughts. We love our dear little companions so very much.

@austingirl

So her pain is gone. Thank God for that.

@CatherineofAragon

Yes, I am so grateful, and frankly, amazed about how she has bounced back. She is a survivor. If there is a recurrence of the pain I will consult an orthopedic surgeon.

I think animals, even small ones, are tougher than we sometimes believe.  I've come to think so, anyway.

@CatherineofAragon

Agreed. I've heard that animals do not personalize pain the way humans do- they just accept it and bear it. This little girl had a horrible early life- she was a puppy mill breeder who was thrown away. I will give her the best possible life I can.

I was at a pet show last weekend and there was a three legged dog.  It was remarkable watching him get around.  Animals don't do pity parties.  They deal.  I think I can learn from them.  Stop dwelling and crying, woe is me.  Get up and carry on.

Awwwww!

There's something interesting psychologically there.  It shows that a dog can understand what the baby is wanting.

No apologies necessary.  After arguing about politics on this forum, I need a fix of cute baby animal pix.  Thanks!
