Ready to share in another happy dance with me? Meet Pickles who is the 26th dog The Frankie Wheelchair Fund has helped gain mobility!
Pickles had a very tough thing happen to him. But little did he know angel number one was waiting in the wings and angel number two would come along soon.
You see, Pickles was thrown from a moving car. Being thrown from the car paralyzed Pickles. Angel number one saw this happen and immediately pulled over to help Pickles. She also just happened to be an animal advocate who has spent her entire life helping animals in need.
Unfortunately angel number one, though her heart of pure gold for helping so many animals throughout her adult life, didn’t have the finances to help Pickles. This is where angel number two swiftly moved in after hearing about Pickles. Meet Inga who has run Canine Crusaders rescue for 17 years.
She saw that angel number one was doing her best to care for Pickles. Expressing his bladder and helping him live a pretty good life despite not having a wheelchair to get around. She just knew she had to help them both have a better life!
This is when she contacted Eddie’s Wheels who sent her my way to see if The Frankie Wheelchair Fund could pay for Pickles wheels.
Well, as you can see by Pickles very happy, smiling face, the rest is history! He is having so much fun in his new wheels Inga has told me, even sharing a video of how he started zooming around almost the moment he was put in the wheelchair. Note: I’m not sure how to share the video on here since it was sent as a .mov file. Sorry.
Pickles continues to live with Angel number one and is living life to the fullest. This angel mission now complete!

I’m partnering once again with Dodgerslist to bring you another live Q & A session to answer all your questions about Intervertebral Disc Disease. The last one we did during a morning session was so beneficial. So many questions were coming in, we could barely keep up – but that was a good problem to have! Continuing to educate others about IVDD is crucial to help save the lives of dogs inflicted with this disease. They can live quality lives if you have the right information.
It will take place once again on Facebook and this time we’ve set up a separate page just for this event. Click here or to join now. Right before we go live you will be able to start posting your questions. This will also be an evening session so hopefully those that couldn’t make the day session can join us in this session.
