I'm sorry for the delay in updating this, I've been pretty busy lately. Through what was a long, harrowing, and stressful event, I've found myself the primary caretaker for an American bison calf. He needs a better name, though, the zoo is calling him "Spirit." I don't care for that too much myself.
Twilight Town customs officials found him and his mother in the hull of a ship. They still don't know what they were doing there, but the suspicion is poachers or thieves. They were both in horrible condition, and were rushed to the zoo. I, in turn, was called in by the veterinary service they have there, because apparently no one else in this town has experience with anything bovine. The mother was in bad shape, and despite our best efforts, she didn't last through the night. He's not even old enough to be weaned, so I'm bottle-feeding him until further notice. He's a demanding little thing, and his schedule is eating into my sleep something fierce.
The zoo is trying to secure a foster mother for him in a herd somewhere. As cute as he is, he's not going to stay this small and adorable. I've got to take him in for another check-up and scrape the infection out of his hoof tomorrow, but I'm guessing I'll have him for another week or two, if not more.
I'm saddened to hear that Rikku had to leave so abruptly like that. I don't even know why she did, or what it was that's so important...
Has anyone seen a rooster? Chanticleer went missing a while ago, and while I know the chance of him being dead is pretty high, McGregor and I would gladly appreciate him back. Our hens just haven't been laying like they should without him around.
