All of our animals survived I am so happy and relieved to say. We checked every shelter each morning as we stuffed blankets back into their shelters. But what came to my mind over and over was what if. What if the kind lady who called us about Lola, pictured here with me, had not called us to say she had gone to buy an item on Craigs list and saw this poor cartoon pig there and could we go get her? She was lying in a dog carrier with no blankets and so starved she could not get up on her own for two to three weeks after we brought her here to Ironwood. What if Boss Hog had been left in Kingman last winter in a small wooden pen with no blankets or shelter? What if the kind lady at the Motel Six in Tucson had not called us to help Pepper who was living in a small pen with little water and she had so many rectal tumors she just had her second surgery to remove them.
