a huntrer, brave and strong...

I love the poem you posted Victoria. It brings tears to my eyes though while reading it and thinking of my brave hunter Sasso.

An update for all who are interested -- His wounds are healing nicely and the vet thinks that is the least of his worries. The main concern is Sasso cannot control the movement of his muscles. He twitches and shakes when he tries to raise his head. He can stretch out his back legs, and push himself around in a circle while lying on his side. But he can't stand up or get the front legs to work in coordination with the back legs. So he may have brain or nerve damage which could be due to loss of oxygen while docs were trying to resuscitate him in the operating room, or from a very high fever he had for a long time. I saw him a couple times today after I got back from Chicago and it breaks my heart to see him in the condition he's in. We will know more in the next few days if recovery is likely. I am unable to think of the alternative without losing control of my emotions. Needless to say, don't expect me to be around FR much for awhile. I will post updates if y'all want them.

Thank you FRiends for your support and prayers for my 'baby'.

Oh Jen, I am so sorry for what you and your brave little hunter are going through. Everyone who has ever loved a pet knows how difficult this must be for you.

I will post updates if y'all want them.

I would appreciate updates. I have been thinking about Sasso off and on all day, and wondering how he is doing.

((((((((Hugs))))))))) to you from an animal lover who has been where you are.
