1. Thanks !!!

[Amaryllis]

2. You are so welcome! I just realized we all need something inspiring with today's news.

It's easy to overlook the good things in the midst of all the rest. I have to make a conscious effort to look for the good and the uplifting. And then it is heart opening to share it.

13. The lion, bear, and tiger were found abused in a drug dealer's basement.

"There sat three terrified, malnourished, and parasite-ridden cubs that certainly didn’t belong in anyone’s home. Once rescued (2001) and sent to a sanctuary, they became inseparable, until the lion passed away in 2016 and the tiger in 2018.
