Mystery came to us in the winter of 2012 with her long time companion Ranger, after a Penryn sanctuary closed leaving many elderly animals in need of homes. Since Mystery had lost most of her sight and she depended on Ranger, we felt the two should be kept together and so offered to bring them to HartSong.
Sadly, Ranger fell in his stall during transport and injured himself to the point that he was no longer very stable on his feet. Even though he was given mega doses of anti-inflammatory and pain medication, he was found lying down early in the morning several times. Each time, we rallied the troops to get him standing only to have him go back down in a day or so. After 2 weeks of this, we decided to end his suffering.
Mystery had a different idea though! …
