Dogs loving their wheels

Brooke Marsh - Tuesday, March 06, 2012
One of my clients sent me this beautiful photo.  It is apparently over in northern Europe and was a gathering of dogs in carts for a play. They certainly seem to love their wheels put together from spare parts... Such simple pleasures to run and play can still be achieved. 
This is why I love working with dogs - they just get there whichever way they can. I must say I don't have to get my whip out at all these days, since I have transferred my skills from the good ol human to our 4 legged friends!
Such a great site and very motivational.

Muppy - getting back to her old tricks...

Brooke Marsh - Monday, December 19, 2011
It was great to see Muppy again on Saturday. She is now a few months after he severe spinal injury. You might remember the picture in her new pink wheels.  Muppy had not regained function in her hind legs. However she has the most amazing owners who are caring for her perfectly and Muppy is back to her good ol tricks.
They had this canvas carry case/sling made for muppy which is very comfortable for her and supportive. She could stroll right into Louis Vuitton and knock their socks off!
There are not many owners who can manage a paralysed dog long term but I feel Muppy is certainly full of beans and back to her vibrant personality. We are working constantly to keep her front limbs comfortable as they are doing much more work.
At home she is swimming daily in a tub, walks in her wheels and loves her daily massages and stretches.  She tolerates acupuncture very well when she makes the trip down to see me from up North.
I am happy Muppy is back to her ol self again!
Keep up the good work!

Muppy and her new wheels

Brooke Marsh - Thursday, October 27, 2011

The Lovely Muppy is getting ready to go home up north.  She had her first try of her new wheels today.  While not so sure at first it will not be long before she is going to be in danger of getting a speeding ticket! 

Muppy sustained a severed disc injury. Following surgery the owners had decided they would like a cart for Muppy to recover and get around more easily at home.  Such a gorgeous dog with so much energy it is great to see her moving again.  I will work with her over the next few days to get her used to her new way of motion.  Muppy has also been having acupuncture, massage, underwater treadmill and Physiotherapy daily to get her back on track.  It will be sad to see her go but I am sure she will enjoy getting home.

All the best Muppy!
