That is really adorable, but I suspect it has large fangs underneath those big eyes.....
I admit the only thing I know about Venezuela is that they seem to have a bunch of Skinny Models. Probably from the Poodle Moth sucking out their blood......

Reminds me of a classic line from a movie- (said in a British accent) "What's he going to do, nibble your bum?"

I can't wait to see what prosthetics will be in the next decade. The fact that the technology exists to help a dog like this is nothing short of incredible. What a fantastic story.

3D internal organs are in the works I hear, so exciting! Now Derby can chase the mailman

When I first got my cat Tripod back in 1991, I thought of getting or making some kind of prothesis for her congenital missing left foreleg. But then I thought, I don't have money for it, I really don't know how to go about making one, I'd have to make new ones for her as she grew anyway, and since I figured she was 6 weeks old when I got her, and she'd been doing fine for that time with only 3 legs, I thought why bother? She was the most determined, smartest cat and a wonderful companion to me for 19 years; she's been gone for 4 1/2 years now, and I still miss her, even though her ashes are on my nightstand.

And here I thought all this time that the cat got her name because of her love of photography. :-)

I was asked that a couple of times, actually! There used to be her picture on here, but the last system crash erased it. I would love to be able to post her best picture, which shows her true colors--dilute torbie--but when I tried to get someone at Target to scan it, they tried to remove the protective cover on the photo, which would've ruined it and I can't find the negative of that picture anymore. I have photocopied it, and it comes out fine. I don't have a scanner, and I had been trying to get the photo scanned so I could have a negative made.
