May 2013 Dear Mom;

A refuge friend.

Bertie (L), Lucy (C) and a visiting Amazon (R)

Helicopter

 

                                                                               Yoyo settling in

 

I've  been far too emotional to actually write Mom. Yoyo cries for me every time I arrive and leave the refuge. Babe's in poor shape. Her one foot has crippled. The Director insists that it's arthritis; I just know it isn't. The Director won't let me take Babe home to regain her strength. She says that there is nothing wrong with Babe's strength or weight. Every time I'm at the refuge I speak with the Director and the manager about Babe hoping that they will take her for x-rays or let me. They refuse. I'm very worried and upset. Lina's coming for a visit in June; I don't want her to see Babe like this.

I'm bawling again. Talk later.

 

Love,

Pat
