Woman’s World Magazine to Feature Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dogs Story!

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think Frankie’s story would make it into a national magazine!  I received the go ahead to make this very exciting announcement that Frankie will be featured in issue #29 of Woman’s World magazine, which will be on stands July 12th.  This is one week before my 47th birthday and I could not ask for a better gift than this!

Woman’s World found out about Frankie through her story being featured in Every Dog Has A Gift by Rachel McPherson, published by Penguin/Tarcher publishing.  The research editor with Woman’s World contacted me back in January. It’s amazing where one’s journey will take you if you are open to the possibilities…

 

(This is not the actual cover of the issue we will be in- just used this for reference)

“The warmhearted weekly magazine for busy women. Includes recipes, tips for organizing the home and much more. Woman’s World Magazine is the number one woman’s weekly! This magazine is wonderful, it has an advise for every area of the everyday life, it goes from cooking, diet, money saving to decoration and fun, greatly recommend it.”

With a readership of 8.2 million we are thrilled that Frankie’s message that animals with disabilieis can and do live quality lives will make a huge splash!  We can’t thank Woman’s World enough for sharing our story which we believe will help educate so many more people about special needs pets, as well as give hope to everyone and anyone facing a challenge.

We hope you will grab the issue when it comes out– let us know what you think!

Super Lance Helps Sick Children

Guideposts just featured a story about another special wheelie dog named Super Lance!  I have no doubt, being the mom of a disabled dachshund myself, that Lance is indeed a Super Hero.  What a wonderful story about him and the beautiful work he is doing at a children’s hospital in Miami, FL.

Frankie is thinking she would like to meet Super Lance someday- perhaps get married!  That would be the best doggie wedding in history… seeing those two stroll down the isle.
