Hi Wannadance! I’m incredibly glad to know that somebody some years back, got enough right medically, that you survived Polio? I’ve seen coverage of the years when the only survival involved Iron Lungs, etc etc (WAY back machine, there; I think either the 30s/40s or such). Hopefully your recovery was not nearly so difficult to endure. We love ya!! Yay for those who Value Cuteness & Resilience!!

Awwww. Cute but sad. Does he get different prosthetics depending on whether it’s carpet or hardwood flooring?

just realized why they outfitted him with rather slow prostheses. if they got him casters or wheels, he would be sliding around and lose control of his movements before he has fully healed…

one day at a time…

Awww come on Kate, the raccoon was just being a raccoon. Everything has to eat you know! Even Lucky’s owner said she can’t blame the raccoon in the video. But, I’m glad Lucky got away alive, and I hope Mr. Raccoon found another suitable meal elsewhere that *hopefully* wasn’t someone’s pet

That poor thing! I hope that raccoon got creamed on the road somewhere!

I’m trying to remember the vet med blog where I read the following axiom that I intend to take to heart: Never name a pet “Lucky”. Nonetheless, I’m happy that Lucky is doing so well and well taken care of.

i don’t see this as sad. well, except sad that this critter got et.
i see it as immensely hopeful and wonderful.

yall, don’t turn away from me because i had polio and most of yall never heard of it and now i have to ride around in a motor chair. some of my friends actually did turn away from me, couldn’t stand to see the lithe dancer all cripped.

but this means i can ‘get around’ and besides it’s fun when i am not running into people/things and even that is fun for ME….

it’s not the little guy’s valient attempt/success to perservere that’s sad, just the chewing.
don’t turn your heart away from a crippled thing…

Casting that pug as Darth Vader is the only good decision George Lucas has made in the last twenty five years.
