As I mentioned last week, Blankets in Bloom has extended a very lovely offer to help raise money for The Frankie Wheelchair Fund — the fund I started almost four years ago to help paralyzed dogs who are in need of a wheelchair.

Many paralyzed dogs are incontinent. Catherine of Blankets in Bloom saw a way to help these dogs in need by designing waterproof dog blankets and beds.

Gidget, who has IVDD and incontinent herself, was the first dog to test drive a waterproof blanket. We give it four paws, two perky ears, and an arf! arf! up!

Today through Sunday, March 20th, Blankets in Bloom will donate 20% of the proceeds from waterproof blankets, beds, and covers to The Frankie Wheelchair Fund.

To check out them out please visit Blanket in Bloom’s page on their Etsy site by clicking here or on the photo of Gidget above.

If you know of someone with an incontinent dog, please do share this information with them too!

Thank you so much to Catherine of Blankets in Bloom for reaching out to me and to her big heart for wanting to do something helpful for disabled dogs in need.

Want to see all the dogs helped so far from The Frankie Wheelchair Fund? Check it out here! Cost of custom wheelchairs run from $350-$1,500.

The Frankie Wheelchair Fund is proud and honored to work with Eddie’s Wheels in the design of all custom wheelchairs provided through our fund.

CBS NEWS spotlights Eddie’s Wheels for Pets. As founder of The Frankie Wheelchair Fund, I’m so proud to share this video of the most recent recipient, Pepper, getting her wheelchair because of donations from my fund.

Because of donations from so many over the years, I’m able to help families in financial stress who have a paralyzed dog in need of a wheelchair, or for paralyzed dogs in rescue.

It’s not often I get to see a dog being fitted in action at Eddie’s Wheels for Pets that the fund was a part of…. and then see the dog rolling for the first time like in this clip done by CBS.

It brings a lump to my throat and joy to my heart to be a part of a paralyzed dogs new journey in this way!

Thanks to Eddie’s Wheels for Pets for their dedication in helping disabled animals and to CBS for spotlighting the fact that paralyzed dogs can live a quality life if given a chance.

Abbey in her new set of wheels!

It’s true!  Abbey is the 54th dog the Frankie Wheelchair Fund had the honor to grant a wheelchair to recently. This is the note I received from Hearts4Doxies who Abbey found her way to for a better life:

Barbara Techel, you are Abbey’s guardian angel and we love you.

Before being rescued, our little girl was forced to live outside for years due to her incontinence, never having an opportunity to leave her homemade cart that was far too small, damaging to her spine, and causing her constant pain and emotional distress.

I don’t know as I’m her guardian angel, but I feel blessed to be part of Abbey’s joyful new journey. So many have helped me and continue to help me with donations which makes this all possible. So many guardian angels out there!

And this note from Abbey’s foster mom, Kristen:

We, as her foster family, are forever grateful to Barbara Techel . Abbey is living the dream and chasing the birds in her awesome new set of wheels. Thank you Hearts4Doxies and Barbara for giving Abbey a new chance in life. If she could talk she would say, ” Thank you!”.

I’d say the look on her face says it all and yes, thank you, it is!  So so thrilled to help you dear, Abbey.  Keep on rolling!
