We were so excited this week to meet Moja! I saw her sweet,beautiful face (and then her skinny, crooked body) on facebook. She had just been rescued from the streets by a wonderful rescue
SNARR SPECIAL NEEDS ANIMAL RESCUE & REHABILITATION. So check them out when you get the chance and drop them a dime or two because they do amazing work and special needs pets cost SO MUCH! All animal rescues are wonderful, but the special needs are dear to my heart for obvious reasons.
Ok, on with Moja's story...
When reading her story we learned that she needed wheels asap because her poor little legs were so beat up. You may not already know but dog wheelchairs are VERY expensive ($400-$800) this is why Johnny is in a PVC chair while he grows. One day Moja and Johnny might not need wheelchairs, but if so then these will do until they get their "real" wheelchairs. My husband has made his since he was 6weeks old remember this??...
Moja really wants to walk (we can tell from her movements) and she is standing briefly. The way we made Johnny's wheels is we let his feet touch (he's mostly inside and in the grass). So he constantly stands up and pushes on them and it has built some muscle (his vet was impressed). So we also allowed Moja's feet to touch and we just set them on the bar if she's on concrete. I'll let you "see" the rest of the story...

And she's off!

| Look at that smile! |

| "Wanna race?" |
Moja is improving by the day and we wish her the very best! Until next time...

Jessica, this is SO amazing! Seriously, the world needs more people like you!! Moja is gorgeous! I hesitate to ask about her story, because just by looking at her I can see she's been a mommie and maybe not eaten so well in her past life. That last picture speaks volumes - an amazing, amazing story!
ReplyDeleteThis just warms my heart. You all are doing such an amazing thing!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see who made Moja's wheels!! She is such a happy camper in them. God Bless you for stepping up so quickly when Robin needed help. Love all these pic's. Thank you.
ReplyDeletehave you contacted Eddie and Leslie at Eddie's Wheels? They have used and loaner carts they can get you into until Johnny is done growing. We have one here and it's so good. The saddle mimics their pelvis thus taking the strain off of their midsection. Eddieswheels.com. Please check them out, they are awesome to work with.
