In our diverse world, individuals from both the human and animal kingdom can be born with unforeseen physical abnormalities. While some are greeted with open arms and acceptance, others are subjected to unfavorable treatment and exclusion due to their distinctive traits. An exceptional puppy named Skipper, with six legs and two tails, had to overcome numerous obstacles as she was abandoned by her mother.
Meet Skipper, a delightful crossbreed of Australian Shepherd and Border Collie. She was born on February 16 in Oklahoma alongside eight other siblings, but her situation was far from typical. Unlike her healthy brothers and sisters, Skipper was born with a combination of congenital conditions that made her case a truly miraculous one. In fact, she is believed to be the first of her kind to survive with these conditions. Sadly, her mother abandoned her, but fortunately, she was taken in by Neel Veterinary Hospital where she received the care she needed. Neel Veterinary Hospital recently shared her heartwarming story on their Facebook page.
Have you ever heard of Skipper, the remarkable canine? Well, this furry friend is anything but ordinary. It turns out that Skipper’s uniqueness stems from a rare condition that resulted from her mother’s pregnancy. Vets at the hospital believe that Skipper’s unusual state was caused by an incomplete split of an egg that was supposed to develop into twins. Fascinating, isn’t it?
Despite the challenges Skipper faced early in life, she has managed to overcome them with her tenacity and the timely medical attention she received. Furthermore, Skipper has duplicate organs from her waist down, but they function correctly, ensuring that she stays healthy. All of these factors contribute to making Skipper an extraordinary and one-of-a-kind dog.
Skipper, the six-legged puppy, has been receiving a lot of love and support from people worldwide. Although some worry about her health, her caretakers have reassured everyone that she is doing great and is free from pain or discomfort. Neel Veterinary Hospital has no intention of euthanizing her as they believe that she will lead a happy and fulfilling life. They are excited to see where her journey takes her.
To keep everyone updated, the hospital has created a Facebook page dedicated to Skipper’s progress. The page has already gained over 55 thousand followers, which demonstrates the immense interest and support for Skipper and her unique story.
Christopher Walken has loved the same woman for 59 years, they made a tough decision together
While Hollywood movies have given us so many love stories that are for the ages, most celebrity couples in real life are far from what we see on screen.
Divorce is not unheard of for most celebrities but there are of course, always exceptions to this rule. This is the story of legendary actor Christopher Walken and his wife Georgianne Walken, two people who have defied the odds.
Georgianne Walken was a casting director when she met Christopher Walken as they were working together. It was an instant connection that has lasted over half a century at this point.
The couple met in 1963 during a theatre tour of West Side Story. The two of them portrayed a couple for the production and slowly but surely fell for one another during the process. Georgianne recalls that she knew pretty soon that Christopher was the only man for her and the couple wed one another just a short six years after that.
“When [I] met him, [I] knew he had a future. He was good and was [going to] be better. It was a very compelling idea, and I had never met anybody like that in my life,” Georgianne said of their meeting.
She decided to get a stable job so Christopher could focus on acting without having to worry about money. Luckily, her job landed her in Hollywood once again, this time, however, she was behind the camera. She became a casting director and in this point of her career has about a 100 movies and shows under her belt. One of these shows include The Sopranos, which even led her to win an Emmy Award!
Christopher was also successful in his acting career. He has an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Deer Hunter and a BAFTA for his role in Catch Me If You Can.
“It’s very interesting being married to a man who is constantly playing a different person. You’re always living with a different person. He never tells me what part he’s playing when he’s getting ready. It just descends on me one day. Very interesting,” Georgianne has said about her husband.
