day 73

This is Sooty. She is my mom's cat. Mom adopted her from our vet when Sooty's previous owner abandoned her after treatment. The vet was going to put her down if she didn't find a forever home. That was more than 10 years ago. Sooty has been the easiest pet to care for. She is neat and tidy, she gets along with other pets, and she keeps to herself. She is a tiny ball of amazing... who almost lost her life for no good reason. If you are ever in the market for a new pet, I urge you to check out your local animal rescue league or city pound. There are more than enough good animals out there who need good homes. Don't assume they are abandoned because they were bad... many times it is the owners fault not the animal's. (sad but true.) The next shot was just a little bit of amazing walking onto the driveway. But this hawk wouldn't get out from under the car, so I don't love the picture. Next time little hawk, next time.

Love your animals.
