This had to have been heart-wrenching, Michelle. Thank you for caring
about this precious creature. It really does make a difference.
Prayers going up for the groundhog, Gunnar, Lucy and you.

This is not about a cat, but with Gray gone I feel I want to tell people
who will understand, and ask you to pray if there is a reason to pray when
someone is gone. Today while I was driving on a highway the car in the front
of me hit a groundhog. It happened a few feet in front of me. The groundhog's
back end was hurt, but he or she dragged herself off the road and into the
woods, down a ravine, and was trying to get around. I went into the woods
after her, and she collapsed. I picked the groundhog up with a towel and put
her in my car, and proceeded to make about 20 phone calls to vets and wildlife
rehabilitators. No vets would help, all the rehabbers had answering machines
saying they were full, and after about a half hour the groundhog died in my
car. I brought him/her back to woods near where he or she lived, and put
her under a tree there. It was so awful. I feel so sad, and I feel bad that if
the groundhog was going to die, it had to be in my car rather than in the
woods where it felt safe. So if you pray for those who have died,
please add this groundhog to your prayers. And for the living, my friend
Stephanie's dog Gunnar, a 12 year old shephard who had a really really hard
life before she adopted him 2 years ago, who is having very sudden and serious
neurological problems that have been diagnosed as encephalitis, and he is not
responding to medications thus far. And of course Lucy, who goes up and down
like a yo yo, and is not feeling so good right now.
Thanks,
Michelle
