I know there are a lot of animal lovers on this forum. It's hard not to go "Awww!" when you see pictures of those cute little puppy and kitten furballs. What's not to love? But I'm always moved when people extend their kindness to the more "unlovable" creatures...the ones that aren't so cute.
My best friend found an injured baby bat on her deck a couple of years ago, and this woman who has never, ever in her life been late to work, was late that day, because she drove several towns away with this little bat, to bring it to the only vet she could find who would take it. Her birthday is coming up next month, and at our age, we don't really need or want anything. We usually go out to lunch or do something we both enjoy, but this year I was able to find something I know she will like. I adopted a bat in her name. I saw this little guy on youtube, and I went to the bat sanctuary's site, and looked at all of the bats, but this little guy had stolen my heart. The "adoption papers" arrived yesterday, quite a nice package, suitable for a gift. I know she will love it. It makes me so happy to know there are people on this earth who extend their kindness and love to these little guys that make so many people cringe with horror. Maybe I'm weird, but I found it impossible not to fall in love with L'il Drac. Here he is.

And here's another pretty amazing video.
