There are so many caring pet parents out there who take care of special needs pets. To bring more attention to these joyful animals, and extraordinary people, this is a new feature to my blog. If you care for a special needs pet and would like your pet featured, please email me through my website contact. Send a photo and I will forward the questionnaire for your pet to be featured in an upcoming post.

What do you love most about your pet? 

I love the way he snuggles with me when are sleeping.  Nono and I have a special connection, he touches a very special place in my heart.

What has your pet most taught you?

My dog Nono is my Hero and inspiration, he has taught me a lot. He has shown me unconditional love and taught me to be thankful for even the smallest things in life and to be happy, strong and keep pressing on no matter what life brings you. He never let his sudden paralysis slow him down and never seems to complain. He is as happy and excited about life as ever. He has accepted his life as it is and lives it the best he knows how. I try to apply this attitude to my own life every day.

Anything else you’d like to share? 

Nono’s special needs have brought us closer.  I try to use his story to educate others.  Know your dogs particular health risks.  I tell every one to do your research!   Dogs deserve only the best.

I absolutely agree, that yes, dogs (and all animals) deserve the very best. And how lucky you are Nono to have a pet parent who loves you so much!  Thank you for stopping by today!  Keep on rolling!
