Gretel does not have a microchip and she tested negative for all the nasties. Poor girl she has no stamina at all- the vet believes it is just because she has been so poorly nourished. She isn’t as bad as Shell was (TYG) no mouth ulcers but she has only a few teeth. He isn’t sure how old she is because of the missing teeth but says he believes she is quite young.

She is now upstairs in what I call the decompression chamber- a very quiet, dark room with a harp of hope CD playing in the background-food all around her and she is safe. I will post a picture soon-
