Dave put him on a towel in a laundry basket and off we all went to class at UCR. He was the topic du jour, especially with his Dr. Seuss looks. Mostly black, he had a very interesting loop of white that went around his tail and down one rear leg. The white stopped short above his foot long enough to change back to all black before it resumed to an all white foot. The whole thing certainly looked like a question mark and hence begged the ‘question’ does the universe have a great sense of humor or what?!
After class we stopped by the vet. He washed and examined it, estimating that this little boy was 4 weeks old. We came home with the recipe and all the tools needed for feeding this infant by hand with a dropper.
As time went on, ‘Blue’ became too big for the laundry hamper and then the bath tub but remained too small to ‘play’ with Raffy. We ended up giving ‘Blue’ (along with his food, toys, litter box and litter) to Andres’s family on June 19th (or more specifically to his grandmother and sister). They called him ’Caruca’.
