Hi Everyone,
These are pictures of Sweet Pea taken October 4, 2008 – about 6 weeks after her rescue. She was badly injured and almost dead from starvation and dehydration when we found her orphaned and all alone in the ditch beside a road. She was given an extremely poor prognosis for recovery. However, Sweet Pea would not give up. With her strong will to live and determination to walk again, she has come a long way in a short time.  She has gained a lot of weight, as you can see, and is now walking on her injured leg. She is happy and in good spirits and enjoying the company of her donkey friend Miss Daisy.  Although her x-rays show a lot of bone damage we are very optimistic we can keep her comfortable and enable her to lead a relatively normal life.  Wouldn’t we all like to be retired at five months old! Sweet Pea has been adopted by her foster parents, Linda and Ken who are thrilled to welcome her to their family. Sweet Pea would like everyone who has followed her story to know she is in good hands now and not to worry about her. She thanks you for your support and kind donations which really helped out with her veterinary expenses, medicine and special feed. Last but not least, Sweet Pea would like to thank her friends Trudy Sattler of Pound Rescue and Dr. Chris Martens of the Fort Macleod Veterinary Clinic. These two special people made her rescue and recovery possible.
Thank you from Sweet Pea.
