One of our artist friends is Judy, who also volunteers as an animal
caregiver. This is a national registry of people who are willing
to nurse injured or orphaned animals. Her project at the time of
this picture was
Francis, a baby grey kangaroo who was orphaned when her mother was run
over by a car. Judy carried Francis around in a cloth pouch
everywhere she went. She also cares for many other animals with
problems. Her little ranch is like a zoo, except all the animals
are running free. It has been so interesting to know people who have such an
intimate relationship with these exotic (to us) animals. |
