We have a house guest for a little while. Her name is Francine, which has naturally been shortened to “Francie” at home since it’s about a nano-second quicker to pronounce. I do everything too quickly.

Meet Francie Francie:

Francie was in an accident involving a drug raid, and was shot several times in the face. She has a broken jaw, and damage to one ear. She eats though a feeding tube for now, but with patience and love, Francie should be 100% in no time.

This little girl is such a love bug, without an aggressive shred in her body. She must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time; this shooting was clearly an undeserved act of self-defense.

She loves sitting on laps, leaning on legs, or touching pretty much anything that will give her affection (cats and small children included). She’s pretty smart too! She’s picked up on her “potty” etiquette very quickly. No accidents today… knock on wood!

Francie has been a lot of fun to have around over the past week. Watching her progress on a daily basis is a privilege, and worth every  minute of the time being spent helping her to recover. She is being treated by the amazing Dr. Bonner at Swan Harbor Animal Hospital, and is under the care of Recycled Love Rescue. She’ll be residing here with her foster siblings until her jaw is healed and her feeding tube is removed. At that point, this little miracle will make such an awesome addition to a deserving family. We love her already and will be so sad to see her go. Except for Bailey, who keeps watching his stock in “attention” decrease as the little girls roll in to his house:
