About Barbara
I’m Barbara Techel and Joyful Paws represents what I’ve learned about life from my wheelchair-bound Dachshund Frankie, as well as other pets who have helped me along the way. They’ve helped answer thought provoking questions stirring in my soul ...
In my first upcoming (early 2013) adult nonfiction book, "Through Frankie’s Eyes: One Woman’s Journey to Her Authentic Self and the Dog on Wheels Who Led the Way" I share my story to encourage others to live with passion and authenticity and celebrate the human-animal bond because I believe animals are continually teaching us how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
