Kindness in Unlikely Places

Ratitude is a blog I just discovered, and the latest post made me stop in my tracks so I could run over here and tell you about it. The latest post is a very touching story about kindness shown to an injured wild rat from a very unlikely person.
“Shortly after I woke up this morning, Hubby came back from walking the dogs and told me his mom had just found a wild rat in her yard and it looked like it couldn’t’t move.
First I was astounded that she rescued a rat. Despite my best effort, my MIL continues to HATE rats. But, she felt sorry for it laying there so helpless and she had ants crawling on her so she scooped her off the ground in a plastic shovel and put her in a chair in the shade and gave her some food and water.”
Travel over to Ratitude to see what happened next.
I’ll be bookmarking one for future updates on the story.
