Sunrise Photo & Sad News

             Sunrise this morning.
                      This morning there were no cats jumping around breaking stuff, the dog was her usual sleeping in self,
                      and Buster was sound asleep curled up under my arm when I woke up.
                      So, for a nice change of pace, no one's to blame for this morning's photo.

                      The sad news: Blake the orphaned whitetail fawn that my friends and I tried to rescue passed away Thursday morning.
                      His death was sudden and unexpected, Blake's blog has the story here:
                      http://blakethestjohnbuck.blogspot.com/ ... rning.html

                      I'm so sorry to have to report this sad news. We did our best to save Blake and are devastated by his loss.

                      I hope you like this morning's sunrise photo. Even though Buster isn't to blame for it,
                      he's still the best one-eyed pet rooster a girl could ever have and I love him dearly. -c

Gorgeous photo and so sorry about Blake. We recently lost a kitty we rescued due to extreme hyperthyroidism. I think sometimes with rescues all you can hope for is to love them and to make their time on earth better. I know you did that for Blake.

My heart goes out to you and the others who had the pleasure of caring for little Blake. I loved following your blog on his milestones. He was a very blessed little guy to have been in your loving care. Take comfort in knowing how much love and security you all must have brought into his fragile little life. God bless!

Thank you for your many gorgeous sunrises too! Smiles!

Couldn't have said it better. Thinking of you guys and, even though I never met him in person, missing Blake.
