Skepluvi - 108 - Event 007

Postby ShadyBro » Sat Aug 31, 2019 8:28 am


Intake Report: Scarring & Malformation On Muzzle, Neck, Legs, & Tail | Missing Top Tail Spike | Missing Right Arm
"The team was at a loss for words when they first saw this poor queen walk out into the sunlight. Our more experienced members knew exactly where this Skepluvi came from right away - the tell all sign being a wire wrapped around their neck with their tag number still attached. That's all they had been to the terrible humans that used them - a number. The tag was easily tracked back to the exact location that this Skepluvi had lived in, likely for years on end; they had been used as a broadnurse for a slaughter facility across the boarder. It's a horrible illegal industry that broadnurses come from, where humans lock queens in farrier crates too small for them to even turn around in, and breed them back to back to sell their young into slaughter. It was not uncommon for broadnurses whom were too 'used up' to be sold off into the racing circuit to be used in mill breeding facilities that sold their offspring of as fancy 'purebred pets'. This darling Skepluvi was quickly sedated as they were unloaded from the trailer back at the sanctuary, and the wire bindings that had embedded into their skin were carefully removed by our veterinary team. After some stitches and a bit of recovery time, their scars began to heal up very well, with the unfortunate exception of their right arm - an infection had spread into the bone, and it was simply not realistic to hope the arm would be able to heal properly. The team made the decision to have it removed - thankfully, this did the trick and the infection was completely gone in just a few weeks. With all their damaged scar tissue, this Skepluvi is very sensitive about being touched, and though it's obvious they are curious and willing to interact with humans, their fear and pain makes it hard for them to trust others. Our staff is eagerly working on specialized leg braces and tacking that will allow the queen to walk and ride pain-free, but until the queen is tame and trusting of humans, they won't be able to wear their special gear. All they have seen of humans is cruelty and hatred, so it may take some time and a lot of patience (and plenty of treats) to earn this Skepluvi's trust. It's all up to you now!"
[Once tamed, this Skepluvi will be given specialized items.]

Idk if ya'll know this, but I'm actually missing my right foot at the ankle from osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that I had when I was 14 and I would really like to write it into my story with her. She will definitely be well taken care of ♥

Taming Prompt:

I watched as the wonderful sanctuary members unloaded her. Her gorgeous colors immediately caught my eye, but I noticed something a bit more disturbing as well, the pain and fear in her eyes. It was nothing I had seen in a Skepluvi before and it absolutely broke my heart. I walked over to what looked like one of the sanctuary supervisors to get her story. As I listened, I only became more shocked. I knew Skepluvias were forced into terrible things, but this was beyond my belief. As they finished, the supervisor handed me a yellow numbered tag "#1738". Her tracking number. I choked back tears. How people could do this to such a beautiful creature, or any creature, was beyond my understanding.

"I promise you will never be known as a number again," I said quietly to her, "you will never see hard times ever again, Pandora." The sanctuary trailers began to pull out of the driveway, leaving her in the round pen. I watched her pacing around, obviously anxious about being left alone. I walked over to the fence and stretched my hand out to her. She immediately jumped back, her eyes wide in fear.

"Okay, okay," I said softly, "let's try something else. Nice and easy." I ever so slowly moved around to the entrance of the pen and slipped inside, keeping my head low and eyes down to avoid looking threatening. I brought out a small bag of nuts, berries, and raw sugar cubes, hoping to soon find out which was her favorite. I could see her looking at me from the corner of her eye, clearly interested, but still too shy to come over to me. I slid down the wooden fence and into the dirt, sprinkling a few treats around me to try to tempt her. She took a couple of tentative steps towards me and bent down to pick up a blueberry. Seemingly forgetting that she was missing her right arm, she tried to crouch on her front paws but slipped. As her scarred face hit the ground she let out a small chirp of surprise and she stumbled up and back away from me again. I sighed. This was going to be more difficult than I thought, but I had an idea. I slowly took off my shoe, then my sock, and finally my prosthetic foot. She seemed intrigued by this. She looked from her missing arm, to my leg, then back to her arm.

"It's okay," I said to her, "I know..." she seemed to understand and stepped towards me. I held a sugar cube in the palm of my hand and slowly held it out to her. Keeping her eyes directly on me at all times, she carefully bent her head down and used her adorable buck teeth to pick the sugar cube out of my hand, stepping back immediately after. Well, it was a start. I picked up a walnut next and again held it out to her in the palm of my hand. She came back over, picked up the walnut, and stayed this time while she ate it. We repeated this process until I was out of treats. After the last one, she cocked her head and looked at me expectantly. I smiled at her and held out my empty hand to show her that I was out. She licked my hand, still hopeful for more. I carefully reached up and just barely stroked the side of her muzzle. She let out a small snort but didn't pull away.

Using the fence for support, I managed to shimmy back up to a standing position. Pandora took a step back, this time more curious than afraid. I held my hand out again, allowing her to sniff before gently putting my hand to the side of her face. She jumped a little at my touch, but as my hand stayed there, she began to relax and lean into me. I could almost feel her fear melting away, so desperate for love.

"It's all okay now," I promised her, "You're safe."

Oh geez sorry it's so long xD

Aw I'm so glad you guys like it! I'm still in awe of her, she is so beautiful and her story so special ♥

For her tack, maybe something like this? A darkish base with silver accents. Or maybe instead of silver, a rainbow type thing to go with her own accents? But honestly, you did such an amazing job with her, I totally trust you in whatever you decide to do!
Thank you so much!
