below is what Butter says
Hi my name is Buttercup but my family called me Butters. I’m a very adorable Applehead Chihuahua and I weigh about 9 lbs.
I have a very little voice but I guess that’s because I’m a very little girl.
For the past 9 years my life has been full of love and family. Recently we moved to a new place and my life changed in a split second. I was out exploring the country roads when something really big hit me.
I wasn’t sure what happened; suddenly my back legs didn’t work anymore. I was pulling myself off the road when my owner came out to help me.
A day later I was placed with my foster mom. She gave me my medicine and helped me to potty.
Today, I can do big potty on my own. My
foster mom picks me up and squeezes just above my legs so I don’t get a bladder infection.
When my bladder is full I tend to overflow and this could cause an infection.
I help her by straightening my legs and then sometimes I bend my knees and pull them back.. She always pats my tummy after this. We don’t do it often. The amount of times vary with how much water and wet food I take in. She usually squeezes me about 3 to 4 times a day. I’m usually very quite; but, sometimes I try to tell her it’s time for me to be squeezed.
I like to be held and have my tummy rubbed. I also like to lay next to my foster mom while she watches tv.
Sometimes she takes me for a stroll; or, she stands me up and tells me I will walk again.
She can see a big improvement; but, it’s only been about 8 weeks since the accident. I’m still in the healing process.
While I like my foster home; I’m looking for a special forever home. My legs have gotten a little stronger; and, Save a Dog Today Rehoming Services gave me my own cart so I can practice walking. I’m in it only for about 15 minutes a few times a day. and get around without the chair by dragging my legs
