Thank you for the wonderful comments left on my previous post. Many of you asked how my children handle seeing animals in this condition. Since having my children I have done my best to present the world and it's surroundings in the most beautiful way and offer them a safe and comfortable paradise to live in. My children see little of the worlds imperfections, there is much time for that in the future. When an animal is hurt I remain calm and refrain from being dramatic about it, letting them know that they have a small injury and that we can make them better. The children are always delighted to bring another animal into the home to play with and care for.
