While You Were Sleeping, a Boston Terrier Puppy with Swimmer Puppy Syndrome Learned To Walk

Swimmer Puppy Syndrome is when a young pup develops a flat chest and sternum, which makes them unable to get their legs under themselves and lift their head up. If you were to look at them from above, they would be splayed out flat with their legs out to…

That exercized my tear ducts so much, now THEY can walk on their own.

Every once in a while, you delude yourself into thinking you're a pretty inspirational son-of-a-gun, what with how you rebounded from that injury/drinking problem/nasty divorce/whatever, but unless you're Nelson Mandela or someone else in the top .00001% of nifty humans, you've got nothing on Mick the Boston Terrier. Not only was he born with four completely useless limbs, he also didn't have "developed cognitive thought" or "books on how to live with having four completely useless limbs"—he was just awesome, all on his lonesome, and he tackled physical therapy without the ability to whine and bitch (no pun intended) about it either. With the help of the Mia Foundation, he kept his head up through the whole ordeal, despite his physical inability to keep his head up. 

Personally, I pretty much shut down in the face of slight criticism from friends and family, so I guess that's why I'm a blogger instead of an inspirational Boston Terrier puppy. It's a shame that we humans bred dogs in such ways that these genetic problems crop up so often, but on the other hand, we bred them to do naturally all the things we wish we could: be brave, be determined, be cheerful, and above all, to never give up. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit in a dark room somewhere and shake under a blanket.
