One day I'll make a animal boarding home thinking about him for the unfortunate its just a dream. No one wanted ot since it had so much skin problems. Only his elder sister took it near her. I somehow nursed hime back giving baths and treatment every 3 days After 6mknths it had parvo. Blue cross picked him up only to know in a week he had died. I stopped doing rescues and taking critically injured to these ngo. I stopped taking photos thinking more I take the more I'll miss them.

My ex and his flatmates had a cat that they named Santoshi lmao. There was another cat in the same street that they named Michael and then went around the entire college telling people that Michael impregnated Santoshi and ran away to be a ho on the streets. Mind you, with zero context 😭😂

Named him Piku after the movie Piku, just because he had potty training issues as a puppy when we adopted him. He passed away at the age of 7 years, 3 years ago. Still miss him dearly.

I genuinely respect people like you who care for animals with disabilities. I worked for a week with a NGO for animals near my area and there's just so much suffering that goes unseen. Those animals need someone to look after them and it's a difficult job.

u/Abhishekooo7 Jul 04 '26

tempo, because when I got him, he had a fractured back leg, he was maulled badly by his mom and his brothers, maybe because of hunger or maybe he was the weakest of them all in the litter. once he recovered, he used to run on three legs, thought he is paralyzed with that damaged leg, so tempo felt sensible.

cut 2 six month, he is recovered fully, legs recovered slowly but he is 100% fit now

Meet my chukchuk!

Chukchuk started as a scared, starving, feral little soul. I fed her. She hunted mice, beat up bad bois, and learned to trust again. She rubs on walls when confused, makes piii piii sounds when happy, and ambushes her hooman with love. And her hooman loves her more than she'll ever know.

When i was 12 one dog gave a litter of 7 puppies. The mother was severely malnourished. So as an irony we named her bulldozer and of the 7 puppies, i remember names of 3. Golu sheru and piddu.
