A Blessing...

Well, I have a couple of weeks before I can get back to recording. I was on a roll, then something happened that definitely took precedence. Ya see, back during the winter, a small, sweet little kitty decided to adopt us, or was it the other way around? Either way..we quickly bonded with her. Well, a week ago, she didn't show up at her usual time, so I began looking for her. After a brief search, I found her lying underneath our wheelbarrow. She wouldn't move..which for her, was very unusual. I went to pick her up and could tell she was in pain. I quickly noticed that one of her front legs appeared to be broken..my heart sank for her! We took her to the vet and found out that her leg was not broken, but in fact, she had been shot and her little shoulder was shattered..to the point that it could not be repaired. Our vet, who is awesome, told us that the only option was to remove her leg. I was devastated, sad, and angry..angry at whoever made the decision to shoot a poor, innocent, little cat! ...So, her only option was to lose the leg, and ours was to take her in and show her love, like she'd never known before.

Well, she had the surgery last week and is home and doing well. She is occupying the studio until she is healed up, and we can allow her to mingle with our other cats. She is, without a doubt, a huge blessing and we are thrilled to have her as part of our family. She may have lost a leg, but she has gained being spoiled, and we gained a wonderful little family member! She can have the studio as long as she wants! Sometimes other things take precedence..it's not always about us, in fact, it usually isn't. Jesus loves you..and all of His creation!
