Why is this titled 'The Little Calf that Could!'? Well, better tell the story!
By some very unfortunate event, my friend's family (I might as well say my family too!) has 'adopted' a calf. Before we got the poor thing, she was attacked by dogs! The calf suffered a broken jaw, horrendous leg injuries, and wasn't fed properly. you just wanted to cry at the sight of her. We got her home and immediately started tending to her. She had, and stll has, to be bottle fed and it was extremely difficult for her to suck on the bottle because of her jaw. We've given her shots and sprayed her legs to help with the healing process.
It's been almost a month.....
And her jaw is healed, even though she looks funny since it didn't heal back right. Three of her legs are completely healed and her fourth leg is just now beginning to have hide on it. It will most likely take a while longer for the fur to grow back. Too bad we're not keeping her or I'd name her Lucky, or Fat Cow 'cause she's also gotten fat and looking like she should!
Get now why I titled this 'The Little Calf that Could!'?
