Grace in Small things- Part Four

1) Getting to meet Hope. This sweet natured girl was almost dead on the side of the road. Her new owners wanted to do anything to save her. I wanted to do anything to save her. Despite our team effort, she didn't make it. Heartbreaking as that is, I know that the last two weeks of her life were safe, warm and full of love. She may have spent her life as a hungry, unwanted stray, but she died a well cared for member of a family.

2) Getting to meet Hank. He came in with diabetic ketoacidosis; extremely, extremely ill, yet sat in our lobby like the king of the world, greeting other clients like they were there to see him, accepting pets and treats even in his weakened state. Between him and his sweet-natured owners, it was love at first sight. Sadly, he was another one that didn't make it. But on the flip side, he left this world surrounded in love and kindness. What else can you ask for?

3) Kittens! Wild kittens that climb curtains and bite noses!

4) Lucy and Ethel, the two doe that I see together almost every day. They are beautiful, and don't even run from my car anymore, just stare at me as I go by. Have I mentioned that I love deer?

5) Reruns of Friends, especially the first couple of seasons. I remember watching them in 4th grade, but relate to them so much more now! And laugh even harder!
