I received an inquiry from a potential client this weekend. “She only has 3 legs but gets around fine. She’s faster than you would expect and will do anything for a squirrel” I responded right away!! I let the potential client know right away that I had a three legged cat and was not intimidated at all by a three legged dog! Mom got right back to me and we met for a consult.
I showed mom and her brother, the dog – Rocky’s owners my rate sheet and explained what all of my rates were for my different services. They saw that I charged extra for pets with medical needs. I casually mentioned that Rocky did not qualify as a pet with medical needs and they were surprised! I told them that a dog with three legs is not a medical case to me! She’s a completely normal dog!! They got a little excited that I recognized their dog as a normal pet with no medical needs. Rocky lives on the third floor of an old brownstone and climbs two large flights of stairs on a regular basis. This dog is in no way special needs!!
I’m so excited that I get to walk a Tripawd every day! I’m sending them the links to this site as well as to the Tripawds Facebook page. I hope they join! Keep an eye out for Lindsay, Alex, and Rocky (the Komondor/Marema mix)!!
WAAAAAY TO GO!!!!
I LOVE that you made the distinction thather dog was NOT a special needs dog! You did more for her physic and the way she perceives Rocky than you will ever know!
I love that the Universe brought you two together! This will be such a win/win for everybody!
Do you know how Rocky lost his leg?
And WOW! Climbing those flights of stairs everyday…YAY!!!
And bravo to you for following your bliss and doing what you love to do!!! They are lucky to have you on their team!!
Hugs to you and Steve!!!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Mom said that Rocky was hit by a car when she was about 9 months old. She’s 3 now, so she’s only known life on three legs! Rocky was adopted as a Tripawd. She came up on a transport truck from the south!!
Thanks for the feedback Steve!
Sounds like Rocky has a really compassionate human..as do you!
