Playing Doctor

---

As promised, I will share the journey of the unfortunate kitten that was found on the side of the road. Slowly but surely, she is returning to good health. I promised I would not give her a name, because I would feel obliged to keep her. Unfortunately, that only lasted a week. Her name is "Buttercup" (or "Butter" for short). I still will not keep her, but intend to give her to someone who will provide her with a good home and lots of attention. Today you will be able to view photos of this kitten two days after she was found. The photos are not "pretty", but as I update you on her journey, you will be astounded at the changes you see. I know I am.
