But still there is much education to be done on the quality of life disabled animals can truly have... and the options available to them. Now and then I run up against someone who thinks they should be put down, but that is rare. <br />So glad you are back to help spread the good word and the picture of your doxie's is so adorable!!! Hope you will visit Frankie's page often also and share updates and news from your blog- as well as doxie photos- we love them!<br /><br />Barbara Techel<br />Award winning author of the Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog Book Series<br />My passion is bringing a positive face and voice to animals with disabilities<br />Frankie is Wisconsin Pet Hall of Fame Companion Dog<br />http://www.joyfulpaws.com<br />http://www.frankiethewalknrolldog.blogspot.comBarbara Techelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134325665864082572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966153019288828091.post-31706200966323545752010-06-03T11:37:15.940-07:002010-06-03T11:37:15.940-07:00So good to see you back, Katja!
Too bad about the...So good to see you back, Katja!<br /><br />Too bad about the insensitive comment. It might be uplifting to know that in the year that Ruby was disabled, comments like that were *very* few and far between (I also live in SF). By far, the comments were so supportive and uplifting that I was often moved to tears. It was part of what inspired me to write Ruby's story for Almost Perfect.<br /><br />I think sometimes people actually mean well with comments like that, if they are worried about the dog's experience. They just don't realize how much spirit and quality of life a dog can have despite disability.<br /><br />Again, good to see you back!Vicki Thttp://www.almostperfectbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966153019288828091.post-74334200701321532392010-06-02T10:28:07.254-07:002010-06-02T10:28:07.254-07:00Hi team tripawd!

My husband very patiently explained the nuances of the situation, but I know that I would not have been nearly so polite.<br /><br />By the way, we recently met some tripod parents at a farmer's market, and Jerry came up!ihearthoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263860130800201212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966153019288828091.post-34945192797579885182010-06-02T08:49:23.473-07:002010-06-02T08:49:23.473-07:00Oooh, what did you SAY to that ignoramus?

The world needs people like you to keep on spreading the word about how much more resilient, brave and courageous animals are than humans. <br /><br />Thanks for helping to spread the word.Spirit Jerryhttp://www.tripawds.comnoreply@blogger.com
