The look of love
Uploaded: March 24, 2008
This is little Gimpy looking up at my daughter Stacey, with such a loving look. Gimpy was mistreated & not wanted, Stacey has looked after her over the long week-end after her vet treatment (plastered leg) & tomorrow morning her new owners are coming to pick her up. We will all be so sad when she goes, but we know she'll have a good home & be wanted & not mistreated. Gimpy is only 5 weeks old. Lens aperture F/3.1, shutter speed 1/60sec, focal length 9mm, ISO 80.

Thanks to you all for your thoughtful comments. I just received an update on Gimpy, the vet is very pleased with her break, the plaster is off & she only has to wear a support now for a few more days then she'll be up & running. #5725495Kathy L. Clark April 06, 2008

Thank you. I know how you feel, we cried when she left for her new home but we know she's having a good time. #5995879Jodi Zimmer June 15, 2008
I don't understand animal cruelty. I suppose us animal lovers never will.Wouldn't you love to spend 5 minutes with someone who would hurt this kitty? We are blessed with people like you and your family who take such good care of these innocent,lovable creatures. #6062604Chris Ebben June 15, 2008
Thanks Jodi, yes 5 minutes would be enough. #6063716M. S. White August 01, 2008
