    Heart always in my mouth during these epic rescue journeys. But you manage them so well. Can’t wait for Baby to exit the crate at Sanctuary. Best of luck for the rest of the trip.

    So grateful Baby will live at sanctuary the rest of her life and hopefully it’s a long life. Guillermina and Baby might be good pals as both are the younger ones.
