What a Fighter!

I heard her story way before I got the chance to hold her for the first time. Her story was heartbreaking and she had only been in the world for less then a day. She was born about 7 hours away from the compound up in the hills into a family with 4 other kids. She was born disfigured, part of her upper lip was missing, she had no inside top roof of her mouth and she had extra fingers. She was labeled cursed and was brought to our door step to be fixed or hidden. They didn't want her unless she was made perfect and they didn't refer to her as human but a item of some sort. When surgery wasn't an option seeing how she was barely 2 days old they informed us that she would be killed by their hands or their village if we didn't keep her. I went and found Heather who is one of the big dogs here and asked that if she was kept by us and seeing how I am here for a year if I could help take care of her. I was told yes and plans were made. This arrangement gives her the one on one attention she needs and keeps her immune system protected. The parents signed her over and I gave her a name. As of last night she spent the first of many, many night with me. She has special needs seeing how she can't use a bottle, has fluids in her lungs and overall being only 2 days old. I learned how to tube feed her. Her name everyone is Sarah Rou and she is beautiful!
