Mooving Along...
Lunch got caught in a neighbor's car and almost lost her foot. She
came running into the apartment with most of it just hanging on her. We
tossed her in a garbage bag and drove at ridiculous speeds to the Vet
Clinic and Miimii, sobbing, ran into the office with a bloody garbage bag full of Lunch...hehehe...a garbage bag full of Lunch!!!
They operated immediately and amazingly saved her life, and her foot too.
Three days later Lunch came home, but her foot was never the same. She had
her foot cut in half, length wise, but it missed all of her tendons and
muscles. Soon after, we decided she needed a companion, and rather than take a rib from her as she napped (God knows we had plenty of time) we picked up
this little character.
First we named her Clam, for a short time "NCO Club", Miimii refused to let me name her Death, then we tried Cow because of the cow-like spots on her back, but
eventually evolved to Moo, and it stuck (other names occasionally used
were: "Piece of Sh-t", Mooster, Stuffed Animal, Popcorn, the Receptionist). She was
so calm, and she would always cover her privates with her tail. Her tail looked
like a racoon tail, and she had a little brown spot on the bottom of each
foot. When she was angry she'd snort. |
