Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog Greeting Cards on Special this Week Only!

Posted by Barbara Techel


Frankie greeting cards depict Frankie snuggled in her blanket that my mom and papa have dubbed my “cheese curd” blanket (yes, that does give it away that we are from the cheese capital of the world- Wisconsin!). Frankie is hanging out on the deck overseeing my writing studio where I wrote the Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series.

Greeting cards are a print from a painting that was commissioned by my husband from the talented artist Cassy Tully, as a aniiversary gift for me.  I still cry tears of joy remembering that very special day that I shall never forget.

So, if you are a Frankie fan these greeting cards make wonderful cards to send to others to share Frankie’sspecial message of: Always be positve, make a difference, and keep on rolling!  And they are great for framing also!

The back of each card shares Frankie’s story along with her motto and authentic paw print.

Single card:  $3.95 (originally $4.95)

Boxed set of 5:  $17.95 (retail $19.95)

You can order on our website. Special price good through Sunday, May 22, 2011

A portion of Frankie greeting card proceeds donated to various disabled animal charities and organizations.

 

Special Needs Pet Feature: Charlie

Posted by Barbara Techel

How old is your pet?

5

Where did you get your pet?

I lost my 10-year old long hair dachshund, Panama, to cancer in November 2005. My father bought Charlie for me in Mississippi in Jan. 2006 to help me get over the loss of Panama.

What is your pets physical challenge?

Charlie suffered three ruptured discs in his back the summer of 2010. He never regained use of his hind legs after back surgery. We did physcial therapy and he saw a doggie chiropractor for 3 months after surgery. We got him a custom wheelchair from Eddie’s Wheels. He can now go outside and enjoy life!

What is your pets favorite thing to eat?

When Charlie was in the animal hospital for 10-days he got spoiled to can food. I now have to mix canned food with is dry food or he will not eat. He also loves when we do take out from Outback! On my days off work I make him a scrambled egg with cheese. As most doxies, he loves to eat!

What do you love about your pet?

I love Charlie’s spirited soul! He has never let his physcial challenges keep him down. He is happy and loves life. Ove the holidays we visited relatives in Mississippi. My aunt and uncle have both recently battled cancer. My Uncle Wallace says that Charlie is an inspiration to him. That if Charlie can handle what he has been dealt with such spirit and love for life, he can also deal with his health issues.

What has your pet most taught you?

Charlie has taught me patience. After his accident, I did not know if I was up to the challenge of taking care of a disabled pet. I knew I had to learn, as putting him down was never an option for me. It has been a major life change, but so worth every minute.

Anything else you’d like to share?

Just that if you are ever faced with making a decision for a disabled pet, do your research first. There is so much information on the Internet to help pet owners learn how to take care of these pets. Dodgerslist was so helpful for me.

Thank you, Charlie’s Mom for sharing Charlie with us.  Wow, I could relate to everything you said!
