This guy has a heart and soul of gold, for helping this little baby.

I love the photos in the vet's examining room, where they're giving her a thorough check-up, even lifting her tail to look under there! Hope they get her back up in the pink again! Sweet little thing. THIS is what humans are for. Helping and sustaining other creatures WHO SHARE THIS PLANET with us.
