Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Meet Corky, the kitten who couldn’t walk: The seven-month-old was born with a congenital deformity known as bilateral arthrogryposis, which meant his hind legs faced the wrong way and overlapped.

A little boy found Corky dragging himself along a pavement in Fargo, North Dakota, and took him to a shelter, where he was promptly scheduled to be euthanized. Miracuously, Corky’s story made its way to veterinarian Dr. Dan Burchill, who invented a surgery to reposition Corky’s legs.

Corky is still in bandages following the four-hour procedure, but he’s using his legs like a normal kitty and is making progress with intensive physical therapy sessions, hydrotherapy, pain management, and acupuncture. He’s expected to make a full recovery within six months.

Hey my sweet and awesome tumblr buddy! If you ask box Kristen your email address, she can give you my new mailing address, and I will not find out who you are until September, like planned! I think that will work best.

I got all moved and am settling in with Josh in Lawrence. There has been some adjusting to do, both with that and my new job (which I started THREE DAYS after moving up. Major life changes!)

I love the job, and I’m loving living in Lawrence, and being able to go out to dinner with Josh or hang out on a weeknight all the time now. 

In wedding news, we sent out our save the dates this past weekend, my bridesmaids all have their dresses (that’s a fun story), and my dress came in. I tried it on in Wichita over the weekend, and it fits! Hooray! I don’t have to get alterations done until a couple of months before the wedding, and I was admonished not to lose any weight after alterations begin. Hmm. We’re finalizing out catering, and have almost everything else ready to go.

We do not have a honeymoon set yet. Need to work on that, STAT. 

Suggestions?

Anonymous asked: Hope you and your family are safe after all the storms. Also, is there a new address I should be sending packages to? Your Tumblr Buddy

Hi tumblr buddy! Yes, we are all safe, although there was a lot of damage in the areas around where my parents live. I was actually in Wichita last weekend, but have moved to Lawrence. I gave my new address to Ashely to pass on to you last month, but I know she has a lot going on. I’m trying to figure out the best and safest way to get my new address to you!
