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.

Meet Digby a Dachshund with IVDD Inspired by Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog

Posted by Barbara Techel

Digby’s Mom, Emily emailed me today asking if she would be upset if she shared a video she made of her dachshund, Digby who also has IVDD to help bring positive awareness to this disease to those in the UK where she and Digby live. She told me she used the same music I did in my video about Frankie, but was so inspired by Frankie that she wants to do to help IVDD dogs in the UK. Emily told me she didn’t want me to be upset that the video is similar to mine about Frankie’s and if I was, she wouldn’t share it. Stay tuned to end of post for touching video of Digby.

I was so touched about her concern, but I was thrilled that she wanted to do what she could to help bring more awareness to this disease that is often looked at as a death sentence for dogs. It is so far from that. I told her I was honored she did something similar and by doing so and sharing with those she knows, together we can help save even more dogs with diagnoses with IVDD. Now that is a beautiful thing.

So I asked Emily to send the video on over and I’ll share with my readers and Frankie’s fans. So check out Digby, living a quality life despite an IVDD diagnoses. Could he be any happier?  Thank you, Emily and Digby for this video that will be another extension of our work that will no doubt save more lives. Blessings! Blessings! Blessings!
