We were touched by all of your outpouring of outrage, kindness and compassion. We wanted to share Lady Bug’s recent turn out photo. While her physical scars may not completely heel, Lady Bug has fully embraced her new life with the gusto o…f a college student delighting in a home made meal. Seldom have we seen such an immediate transformation from defended to hopeful. Lady Bug demonstrates the gratitude of the rescued, the vulnerability of the lost, and the hopefulness of the reborn. Her spirit is presenting layer by layer as she sheds her primal need to defend against abuse. She is safe, valued, and respected. Lady Bug is enjoying her morning cheerful greetings, the enrichment of her turn out time, and being tucked in to her cozy stall at night….she is beginning to trust us, and her new world.
