Juliet, aprox 3 month old DSH stray, was presented in the emergency clinic I work for with a severely broken front leg, with lacerations back in Sept 2016. Even with all the pain that she was obviously in, this girl was nothing short of a total lover! After a few weeks, it was deemed that amputation was going to be necessary for this girl.
I offered to take her into foster care, as I have done special needs fostering for a shelter I had worked at for several years, as well as had Romeo, a new tripawd, already at home healing. I took her home a day post op and she, like Romeo, never let anything keep her down. It took no time till she had explored every inch of the room, from the cat tree to the windows to each and every toy. She LOVED chasing the ball in the track. One would never know she was a new amputee!
Until she was fully vaccinated, spayed and vetted, I was keeping her separated from the rest of the population in our foster room. It was during this time that she and Romeo had made a special bond thru the room separation. They would coo and talk to one another, tho never meeting. Once she was fully vaccinated, I had let her and Romeo meet, and it was love at first sight! And that is when the TRUE love story began!
