Darla the Dachshund: Another Recipient of the Frankie Wheelchair Fund

darla 2How cute is this girl?  And does she remind you of anyone?  I swear I’m looking at Frankie!

About two months ago, Sheila Choi of The Fuzzy Pet Foundation (TFPF) contacted me asking if the Frankie Wheelchair Fund could help with this sweet girl. I was thrilled because of donations I’ve received from many of you for the Frankie Wheelchair Fund, that we were able to provide the funds for Darla’s wheelchair from Eddie’s Wheels.

Darla will soon be getting on a plane with a volunteer from TFPF and flying to Connecticut for her potential forever home.  As you might guess, my heart strings really pulled toward this little one. I could have easily taken her in. But alas, I have my love dog on wheels, who I love so very dearly.  But if I could have a whole short, wheelin’ herd of these little ones I’d love it!  But I’m crossing my fingers (toes, arms, legs, eyes…) that when she gets to Connecticut it is the perfect match. I do think whoever gets this sweet girl is going to be so lucky!  Just like me with my Joie.

So please wish Darla luck as she now begins to explore the world once again on her happy wheels and as she transitions to a new life. And again, a huge thank you to everyone who has made donations to the Frankie Wheelchair Fund to make this possible. My heart grows ten times its size every time I can help another little one get their wheels.

If you know of anyone who is interested in donating to the Frankie Wheelchair Fund I’m always accepting donations…. and as always, I’m deeply grateful!

As a reminder if you live in or around the Milwaukee, WI area, the Pewaukee Veterinary Service is offering two upcoming pet massage seminars.  One is this Saturday, March 23rd and the next one is April 4th.  There is no cost for this two hour hands on seminar, but they are asking for a donation for the Frankie Wheelchair Fund.  Their first seminar raised $170!  Massage is great for all pets, but especially those with conditions such as IVDD, arthritis, etc.
