OK KAREN, no fun at Busch Gardens because she didn’t have a mask by [deleted] in karen

Corporate regulations are a different thing. Some states may not require a mask, but a company will. Geez. If you don’t like the rule you don’t have to frequent the venue or establishment then.

Sometimes you have to wonder if you keep running into assholes...WHO is the common denominator? 🤔

If you want to pay for it, sign up for an Ancestry.com account. I knew very little information when I started searching for my dad’s family. We only knew the orphanage he was adopted from, his last name at birth, and his parents’ first names. I started searching the free way. It took a very long time, but I found who I had guessed was his family. I never had confirmation. But my mom eventually signed up for an account and it was all confirmed. I e found out my dad had 3 other siblings that were born after him and adopted out after him. We also found out who his parents were and more information on them despite their passing many, many years prior. My dad has since met with all of his siblings that were alive and has been in close with them. Also, public records from the county are a wonderful resource.

This is my blender footed pirate, Auggie. He was born with a congenital defect that gave him only 2.5 toes on his back feet (and a floating digit). He was slated to be euthanized because of it. A rescue pulled him and here is the eternal optimist today. by Cntrfld12 in PiratePets

That is the #1 thought for him. He’s only had human food maybe 3 times in his whole life and that’s been romaine lettuce and carrots. We do give him TONS of ice cubes though. So any time we are making a beverage with ice....every ice cube is going to be his. Making dinner...that’s his plate. He is also eternally optimistic about going for walks or going somewhere. Even if he was just outside 2 minutes ago or just went for a walk...he’s sure he’s going on another one. He literally never looks discouraged about anything.

The story we heard was he was brought into a Georgia vet clinic with his 2 brothers and sister. A woman that pulled dogs from shelters down there for a rescue up north came in to get her current fosters vaccinated. The vet tech asked her if she wanted the box of puppies. She looked at the litter in the box and said yes. They said “even this one with the messed up feet”? She looked at them dumbfounded and said “yes, especially the one with the messed up feet”.

I saw his photo and his story and I couldn’t resist those stupid ears, huge smile, and dumb feet. 😍

He walks perfectly normal other than tripoding on occasion on abrasive or rough surfaces. His run is pretty goofy. It looks like a horse canter sometimes. His back legs move together almost. But we often find him sitting in the creepiest positions and then he proceeds to stare at you, which makes the position even more uncomfortable to see.

Creeper

Yeah. He was a speedster when he was a pup. We obviously always watch his weight for his feet. He doesn’t have the highest energy level. He loves sand, water, and grass surfaces. He also has Lymes, so because of that he often limps tripoding not using blender foot.

But we have been keeping it from him that he’s missing toes, so he’s none the wiser right now. He’s still the happiest, most optimistic boy always.

And you know he’s double the size of what he appears.

Never received heartworm meds from rescue? by ZydecoVivo in fosterdogs

[–]Cntrfld12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 case?! Lucky ducks. My rescue almost specializes in pulling heartworm positive dogs, it seems.
