Dog and Cat Portraits
Hi, my name is Takoda and I'm the reason my Daddy is selling these eggs here. I'm a proud Doberman but I wasn't always like I am now. You see, for the first couple of years of my life I was a stud dog in a Puppy Mill and my only job, along with four other Dobermans, was to father puppies, so the people who owned us could make money. They didn't care about us and we were kept in cages that we could barely turn around in, weren't fed much, never saw a Vet and had no interaction with people. Then they decided we were no longer of any use and they were going to turn us over to a Kill Shelter.
A nice lady at a Rescue Group heard about that and told them she would take us all. We all were skinny and sick, with internal parasites and heart worms, but she took us to the Vet, had us treated for our parasites and heart worms and we were put up for adoption. My Dobie friends were adopted but it seems I had a problem- Sometime in that hellish existence I went blind. (Maybe it was from the time we had an ice storm and since we were kept outside, I ended up frozen to my cage but it was most likely caused by severe head trauma) and it seemed like we doggies were good for leading people around but nobody wanted to have to lead me. That was until my new mommy and daddy heard about me and saw my story on line. They had to send their Dobie on his journey to the Rainbow Bridge last August and, since they love us Furbabies, they decided to give me a Home. I really want it to be my Furever Home but it seems I have another problem. I have a rare form of diabetes, Diabetes Insipidus, and I need to take medicine every day. That medicine is real expensive and, since my new mommy and daddy want to keep me, all the money from the sale of these dog, and kitty, portraits is going in a fund for my medicine. My daddy, he's the one who carves these eggs, is setting this store with lots of eggs with doggies and kitties on them and other hand carved scenes so please take a few minutes to see if there is something you might like. If you don't see your furbaby here, please ask him if he has it or can do it for you. I know he will try since he really loves me and I love him.
Let me tell you about this egg. It is a goose egg that my daddy carves, using a Dental Lab hand piece and dental burs. Outside of the cleaning, nothing is done to the shell to strengthen or harden it in any way. Since each is carved by hand, every one will be a little different and One-of-a-Kind. The egg does come with the stand to display it on and they really aren't as fragile as you might think. My daddy has shipped eggs all over the world, he is one of the best known egg carvers, and all his eggs are packed very well and will arrive quickly. He does special designs and is always willing to work with you on that special egg. All eggs are shipped priority Mail, insured, ( insurance is an additional $1.65 ) and he will ship another right out if yours ever arrives damaged.
Please help me stay in my Furever Home and be what my new name stands for-it's Sioux for Friend to Everyone and that's what I want to be.
Thank you for looking and Please, if you are searching for a Furbaby of your own, visit your local SPCA or Humane Society and don't get one from a Puppy Mill or Store that sells Puppy Mill pups where the people might treat their animals like I was treated. If you are looking for a Purebred, like me, there are lots of Rescue Groups who save specific breeds and if you are interested in a proud Doberman, e-mail my daddy and he'll let you know about the wonderful lady who rescued me.
Thank You,
Takoda |
