Re: Chances Story

Very touching, Shanley. It's certainly a good feeling to rescue anything and nurse it back to health. It's also sad when we do all we can and one dies. We just have to take consolation in the fact we did our best.

Re: Chances Story

Awww, Shanley, that is the sweetest story. Very heartwarming.
So lucky for Chance that you came along!
Too bad about your corn snakes..........I can see why you'd be hesitant to buy any snakes now.

Re: Chances Story

Wow, i read your story, and u r a brave guy, i just can say, congratulations, i learned that when you stop putting price over the life or any living creture, the just arrive, whenever they need somehelp, ´cause somehow, they know you´ll be there.
i´ve stopped buying pets 11 years ago, when got my oldest dogs, many animals have reached me since then, many wild hurt animals, also, some turttles and hurt or starving snakes... they live here while ther recover, and then your heart tells u exactly what to do.
Again, Congratulations, u r making this world a better place.
thanks.
