π π© Listen to MILLIE speaking to her Mom Sarah (Last Hope volunteer) in this video..
Yes, MILLIE is communicating her concerns. Sarah is the only person MILLIE speaks to.
But a young lady like MILLIE, should always consider her mother to be her BFF. π π©
MILLIE had a troubled past, and a Cinderella story.
She came to Last Hope in fall 2023 from Texas after she & her brother were hit by a car there.
Her puppy brother was killed, and MILLIE suffered lacerations which later tests showed included a deeper orthopedic injury.
MILLIE has had several specialists look at her leg, including orthopedic experts at the Schwartzman Animal Medical Center in NYC, who all agree there is no surgical way to fix her leg without pain & a limp that linger.
So maybe, MILLIE is lamenting her slight lameness, or her "girl troubles".
Or maybe , MILLIE is really upset she hasn't been chosen as flower girl or bridesmaid , now that her Mom Sarah is engaged.

π» Update on "A Kitten Called WANDA" πββ¬οΈ
This is WANDA, the tiny tortie that John Debacker netted & saved when she was stranded against the median on Wantagh Parkway during rush hour last week.
WANDA has been chilling at Last Hope since her ordeal seen on TV news.
She is about 7-8 weeks old & quite frightened. John has bern working with her at Last Hope Wantagh, and lots of TLC & handling have softened her fear.
Previously, she would hide under her blanket, shivering in fear.
NOT ANY MORE...WANDA is a purring machine, welcoming petting. [ Listen carefully to the video]
The person who first noticed WANDA stranded on the parkway & posted her danger is interested in adopting WANDA.
WANDA is waiting to be spayed so she can move to a safe & loving home.
This tiny tortie is on the cusp of beginning
of " A WONDERFUL LIFE".

π πββοΈTwo days before the Olympics Summer Games begin in Paris ,CHANCE & TROOPER are practicing their new sport called
" SYNCHRONIZED PLAYING" πββοΈ π
Our 2 canine contenders are Georgia Peach PUPS. Their playing is a doggy ballet, moving effortlessly as they race with grace across the Last Hope play yard.
We are thrilled they are so well-matched, gentle and in tune as they play fight in flight.
CHANCE is a 5 month old Boxer mix, while TROOPER, who just recovered from a broken leg, is a 1.5 year d Hound mix.
Each pup would like to join a Home Team.They need not be adopted
Together.A dog playmate who is already your pet would be a great SYNCHRONIZED PLAYING partner for CHANCE or TROOPER.
