The other night, as I was feeding the outside crew, I noticed that Twist was up above me on the roof. I was popping cans of food below her, when I saw something out of the corner of my eye, I saw a black object hurtling off the roof! In normal times (before the build) she would have landed on a small shed (that was no longer there). Instead, she landed on the concrete. I heard the snap and I winced and as I went toward her she turned and hobbled off into the bushes and was gone!

Long story short, after many attempts to catch her, I was finally successful. She is now in a cast. They had to set pins in her leg but she is so small, there is a concern that the pins won’t hold. She is as immobile now that I can make her within the Introduction cage. They will re-assess her in 18 days. So now, like it or not, she will be socialized slowly. I have to be careful and not stress her out when I step into her cage. She will try and move away from me. So it is really a dance at this point- between the two of us trying to figure this out. It could have been so much worse. Understanding the times are hard for all right now, the vet is working with me on small payments. Donations are down right now and understandably so. I’m just glad it was just one broken leg and not internal injuries. She jumped from about 8 feet up. 🙁

Please all of you, please just stay safe in these uncertain times. We went on stay at home orders a few days ago and I am still amazed at how much traffic is going up and down the highway. It is a soft order at this point. I wish Gov. Brown had been more hard-lined about it. I am only leaving home for groceries and to pick up cat food. At this point, I am scared. I am scared of the people who are NOT scared of this virus! Some on facebook in my town are insisting that this is the way that the government is trying to control the masses and make us into sheep. Can you imagine having that type of mindset with all that is going on in the world right now? Makes me just shake my head in disgust. Love you all- hope you all find smiles and laughter hiding around the corner in your day.
