My big question is how did Mandy KNOW that this member of a completely different species was a baby that needed milk? At that time Many had never had pups - later she did have one litter and was the best mom ever!! |
That's pretty much EXACTLY what happened! Boots was already weaned too. And Tara had never been a Mom....but there she was, takin' care of business, for another species!
