Bella.
I didn't mention this in the context of my post because it was upbeat but- For the last 8 months in Huston my sister has spent her life *12 hours a day, raising a baby elephant that was rejected by its mother. She was hired as the baby animal specialist, when she and Peter moved there. While I was in Toronto I got a call from my father. He told me that they had to put Bella *the elephant* to sleep. I was so shocked. apparently she had fractured her femur, and tried to put a pin in her leg but just nothing helped. The femur being the major weight baring bone in an animal as large as that is just way too important. especially in a baby... They think it may have something to do with the fact that she was raised on goats milk, and other substitutes and therefore may not have developed as well as if her mother had not rejected her.
I just burst into tears in the street in Toronto. My heart seriously just broke for my sister... That baby meant the world to her. She has devoted her life to caring for animals, she sacrifices everything including her own well being to care for theirs. I can't tell you how sorry I am that this happened. I really want nothing more than to hug her and take care of her. She spends all her time with the animals, and doesn't make time to make friends (outside the zoo) I mean she has Peter but aside from that she is alone out there and so far away. I hate it so much. Just want to hug her...
