To My Dear Adoptee Flicka

[Nicole]

I finally went and checked on you this morning as you'd been down way too long for your molt. My instincts were right; you had molted and never recovered. You even got your missing legs back, which makes me extra sad. I couldn't make up for the neglect from your previous owners, but I was proud to give you a happy home for seven months with 11 brothers and sisters, plenty of food, salt water, and calcium that you really needed and never got.I love you Flicka. You fought a good fight and you will be missed terribly.
