Hmmmmmm !!!!

 Well, today was interesting and the unexpected happened – as it often does at our sanctuary.  I was just on my way into town when a call came in regarding 4 baby birds, whose nest had been disturbed during house renovations.  The lady with the baby birds arrived at the house and handed them over.  They were obviously just hatched, not a feather in sight on their pink, almost wet little bodies.  I fed them and then decided to take them into Onderstepoort (animal hospital) for further care as l felt that they would receive better care there.

While l was there, l heard about a Lulu, a six week old puppy who had been found in a garbage bag on the side on the road and very nearly died.  She had been on a drip for days.  I was invited through to see her……. And you know the rest of the story.  Yes Lulu has joined our family.  She is gorgeous, looks a little like a tiny Doberman, with a black head and dapple grey body.  She still is not well and is on medication.  Reet will be her sleeping partner tonight, but no doubt there will not be a shortage of volunteers to look after her.

All was quiet up at the enclosures with all of the monkeys behaving well.
