hello, nice to know you

to all the people who watch and who care...

thank you for for donating the soft fuzzy places to lay my pointy bones,
for helping the Nice People build the barn where I'm safe,
for the comfort of Frida's once-favorite rain jacket,
to the nice lady who stopped her car when I was lost and nearly dead in Oakland,
to the volunteer people who are my new family,
for the warm thoughts that come from people I don't know,
for the bully sticks that let me chew and chew and chew until I fall asleep,
never hungry again.

and for my new name.

I'm not 'Skinny Girl' anymore. I'm Miss Birdy and it's so nice to meet you.

  8. Yay! Miss Birdy, you look much, much better! The last pic I saw of you was of a very thin, but enthusiastic, tail. So glad you're feeling like a whole new pibble.

  11. Hey Donna, will Miss Birdy be looking for a home, or is she just staying in the comfort and safety of the Barn for awhile? She looks to be about my speed. I'd be interested. Anneke

  12. Hi Anneke. Thanks for mulling. We're getting test results back on Monday so we can learn what if any health concerns she might have. If she has cancer (suspected), we'll be looking for a hospice home.

    However it shakes out though, she does have some spunk and isn't nearly ready to melt away. I don't know what your particulars are these days, but how 'bout you check back here for the known vet-details early week and we can go from there?

  14. Hi lovely Miss Birdy! It has been a heart-warming joy to begin to get to know YOU - from the tip of your smiling tail to your specially grinning mouth. Seeing you here all wrapped in softness, chewing away on a bully and knowing you will have good days forever is as good as it gets. Looking at you, your soft eyes luminous with soul, strength and hope-sweetly-realized makes me all happily lost and melty! Thank you for being! And deep thanks to all of your saviors!
