Hi, my name is Timmy and I’m
Opie’s big brother. I want to tell you
what Memorial Day means to me.
Memorial Day is all about
people who did. People who fought for
their dreams to see them come alive.
By the way, people doesn’t
mean hooman. People means conscious
soul, so it doesn’t matter what species you are. People is you and me and the horses over there. If I’m talking bout hoomans, I’ll say so!
Anyway ....
To do what you believe in
you have to have that I think I can song playing over and over in your
head. http://youtu.be/Yx9xO98kcBU
Some time I have to keep
that mantra running in my head all day long.
You see I’m differently abled.
And that can mean I have to sing a lot of I-think-I-cans just to do the kinds
of things you effortless and thoughtlessly do all day long.
When I was an itty bitty
baby, about 4 weeks old, I fell out the window of a car. And lucky for me .. the lady in the car
behind stopped and picked me up. Yikes,
don’t even wanna think about being smushed in the road if she hadn’t.
And so she took me to a doc
and they worked to save my life. I did
good, cept for my back legs that don’t work the way other’s do. But I’m not gonna let something like that stop
me from having a good, fun, happy and productive life!
I came to Rikki’s to work as
a Differently Abled Spokes Kitty and to spread the word about what it’s like to
be differently abled. It’s just fine
!!!! I’m still who I am, even if I walk
different or look a little different. I
still have hopes and dreams and love to eat and play and be happy. So I’m really not much different from you
after all!!
But I do sing I-think-I-can
a whole lot !!!! It’s been a very
important mantra for my life.
They said I’d never walk
.... and I said I-think-I-can I-think-I-can I-think-I-can and I can go anywhere
anybody else can go now !!!!
Snickers taunted me from the
heights .... she’d look down and sing,
“you never gonna make it you gimpy littele thing!” And I’d look up at her on the desk and I wanted to climb
.... and so I sang
I-think-I-can I-think-I-can
I-think-I-can
And I worked real hard. At first I’d just get part way up. And I’d sing I-think-I-can I-think-I-can I-think-I-can
And then .....
I made it to the top of the
chair !!!
Snickers changed her tune
.... “gimpy can’t jump to the desk, it’s MY desk and I’m not sharing, come and
catch me if you can!”
And I kept singing
I-think-I-can I-think-I-can I-think-I-can
and soon I could lunge right
from the top of the chair on to the desk and chase Snickers up to her loft !!!!
I’ll never stop working and
I’ll never stop singing I-think-I-can I-think-I-can I-think-I-can ......
Will YOU sing along with
me? Will YOU help me help the
differently abled? I NEED your
donations so I can take care of my friends here at Rikki’s Refuge. Did you know that everyone of us here wasn’t
wanted by somebody? That’s just so hard
to believe. But nobody wanted us. They said throw them away ... they’re no
good ... they can’t walk ... they can’t talk ... they’re blind ... they’re deaf
.... they’re old ... they have diabetes ....
they have asthma ... they have kidney problems ... just toss ‘em out with the trash. Isn’t that mean?
I’m so glad YOU said NO,
let’s all work together to help those differently abled folks cuz they got
feelings and they got rights and they wanna be happy and have life just like
me.
And so with your donations
that’s just what we get ...
LIFE !!!
