We rescued her from a warehouse where she had been abandoned, apparently for several weeks, so we were not entirely surprised at her survival skills. She is now a year old, well-fed, and quite content to watch the birds and chipmunks outside until we get home in the afternoon.
That is so sad. You know, the rescued pets make the best ones. I had a dog that I found as a puppy (starving in a graveyard). His siblings were deceased (starved to death). We weren’t sure he would make it but he did and he was the best dog ever. I am so happy that you found her before it was too late. That just makes my day!
