Our Maine Street's Aroostook Issue 14 : Fall 2012 | Page 67

The next day, Wendy called
me with an update on Jasper. He
drank 26 ounces of formula and
did well through the night. A
few hours later, Wendy called
again to inform me that Jasper
was not a “he” but a “she.” Well,
that changes everything. So, we
decided to change the name to
Jasmine Charlotte Loring — still
JC for short.

On Monday, July 23, 2012,
JC had her first visit with the
veterinarian. She received a clean
bill of health. It was determined
she was probably 24 hours old
when she wandered into our lives.
The vet has no idea why JC was
left alone, but that we definitely
did the right thing in contacting
Wendy to start her on her way to a
safe and healthy life.

Our experience with JC
has been educational as well as life
changing. I know life isn’t easy,
but seeing it through another set
of eyes is very humbling. Mother
Nature works in mysterious ways,
and we all know the saying,
“Don’t fool with Mother Nature.”
But, Mother Nature can be cruel
sometimes, and in this case I had
no problem messing with her!
