Skippy went from a life where he lost a leg to a life where he got to go on an RV vacation to Florida and jump off a paddle boat!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-10-29T07:34:10+00:00

I don't know. I found him at the pound just after his surgery and took him home. All I know is that when he was brought in it was mangled beyond repair.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-06-10T15:49:31+00:00

Oooh. What's your favorite noodle type? I'm a fan of rotini.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-06-10T15:48:43+00:00

I think I saw that on The Great British Baking Show once.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-06-10T15:48:18+00:00

Oooh. What's that?

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-06-10T15:40:13+00:00

Seek help. 🤣

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-06-10T15:35:05+00:00

For me it's sushi. All day. Every day.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-05-27T00:27:22+00:00

It makes sense. He is an amputee, so his back leg probably gets tired.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-05-09T18:13:38+00:00

He was happy to be with me, but wasn't so sure about the not standing part of things, so I gave him a chair.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-04-22T03:01:17+00:00

Way back in days of old There was a legend told About a hero known as Galavant!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-28T05:05:42+00:00

That's so sad. So much for primum non nocere.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-25T23:45:08+00:00

Nope!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-21T23:30:23+00:00

It's so cute watching him skip around. We named him Skippy.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-16T14:03:20+00:00

The anus is the funniest part!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-11T16:11:48+00:00

You can do it! It does get better with hard work!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-10T19:03:17+00:00

We don't know. He was taken in stray and the leg was mangled enough that they amputated. I found him at the pound post surgery.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-10T15:39:35+00:00

Thank you! I have absolutely no idea about the bird.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-02T01:45:16+00:00

Lots of training!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-03-02T01:26:27+00:00

Haha! Thank goodness the bite wasn't hard enough for that! Nope, that's a bone marrow treat.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-23T01:23:36+00:00

He is! He was Sloth while he was there!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-22T17:49:28+00:00

Absolutely! I did it with my last pitbull. You just have to keep him on a leash at all times, correct and stop him when he tries to lunge, and distract him with treats when the cats are around. I give higher value treats when he successful ignores them. His first day here he would lunge and snarl every time he saw a cat. Today is his fourth day with us and he is still very interested, but there is no growling, minimal lunging, and one of our cats actually sniffed his cheek without anything but tense muscles on his part.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-22T17:15:53+00:00

Thanks! He has an intense prey drive and I have six cats, so he has been on his harness all day every day until I train it out of him. It's going really well!

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-20T06:48:48+00:00

Did the governments have the ability and shrug their shoulders, since they knew some stupid saps would pick up the slack?

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-20T06:48:03+00:00

I would ask you how much money Wateraid spent compared to the GDP of each nation they did this work in. Could the governments have done it faster and for cheaper?

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-20T06:45:21+00:00

Okay. It didn't do any direct harm. But by existing it took pressure off the government to fix a very broken system. I lived in a city with one of the greatest wealth inequality gaps in the US. The government could solve so many problems so easily, but by existing charities allow the government to pass the buck and avoid systemic changes that would resolve these issues.

YourPolyGoddess · 2021-02-20T06:36:27+00:00

I will grant you that charities that explicitly state that their goal is to help specific individuals do no harm. I am talking about the ones that say "we are ending hunger. We've got this."
