Hard Choices

October 23, 2018 by Elizabeth

Negra had a rough 35 years in the research lab, but now her toughest challenge is figuring out when to abandon her nest for breakfast. This is what sanctuary means to Negra.

    Oh, poor Neggie! Old bones are cold……haha, she’ll have some warm tea and peanut butter toast, or sweet potato toast with peanut butter, thanks very much! Do they make children sized Snuggies?! Lol, if Negra were wearing a Snuggie, she wouldn’t have to leave a warm toasty nest to get breakfast, haha!

    Negra you are so beautiful. I just love the videos of her and the rest of the ladies and burrito!

    Hummm, so the rustling sound of the nut bag (or chow bag) seemed to have been the highest value treat to lure her from her cozy, warm place. Why does this not surprise to me! (lol) This video is so precious (hiccups!) and just when I thought I couldn’t love Negra any more than I do. Thanks Elizabeth!

    She is beyond precious! She deserves all the warm blankets in the world…and of course, room service!

    I watch Negra with her snuggle blanket and know how I feel in the
    mornings. Thirty five years being mistreated by humans added to that
    and still she finally comes to breakfast! What a sweetie she is. I am
    so happy for all you do for her and the rest of the Northwest Seven.
