My Love the Jumping Prince Gapdol~

The warm spring is coming close.
Like the spring that comes around every year I hope that the light of hope comes to our animals regularly as well. On this post, I want to introduce Gapdol who seems to be flying around every day.
We call people who bring the animals in to raise them rashly without thinking about their own condition, neglecting them in poor conditions, animal hoarders. Gapdol is one of the eight that we rescued from an animal hoarder’s place.

When we arrived at the animal hoarder’s house Gapdol was tied in a place where there was a plank up that sheltered all the light.

Gapdol, who was a stranger to warm caring guarded himself from us at first and refused us coming closer than within a meter.

We also didn’t get anxious trying to win this heart over.

We talked to him sweetly every day for a month making eye contact.

We told him that he was safe now, and that we love him so much.

And then one day, Gapdol opened his heart; all the way.

Then started Gapol’s passionate courtship….

By saying courtship meaning that he tried to escape from the fence to come into the office whenever we made eye contact!

Gapdol is busy once again. While looking out the window, our eyes met each other’s.

Sorry Gapdol, but your love is too much for me now.
But you are so adorable!

Animals are the mirrors that reflect us.
Because they express the love that we showed them exactly back to us.
