About Me

..


Actually I do fall down but this was too cute not to put on my page!

Hi! My name is Weebles. I am a handicapped puppy with a huge loving heart! I was born with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. What this means is that my cerebellum did not fully develop when I was in my mommy's tummy. Not having a fully developed cerebellum makes it really hard for me to balance and walk. My brothers and sisters are all kind of wobbly but they can get around ok. I am not really able to walk without falling over after a few steps.

I try really hard to walk but my feet just don't do what I want them to do! Once I actually start walking I get so excited about it that I usually lose control of my legs and usually end up falling. But guess what?! When that happens, I usually get right back up and try again!

The day I came into the shelter my brothers & sisters were all waaaaay bigger than me! They were at least twice my size. I was soooo tiny and just skin and bones. I had a hard time eating and drinking because of my really bad wobbles and all of my litter mates kept pushing me out of the way. My mom brought me home to foster me because she didn't think I would make it. I was so weak, I could barely hold my wobbly little head up.

The shelter vet thought we should go to sleep forever. I'm so glad that didn't happen. My mom took me to her own vet and discussed our options. My mom was worried about the quality of life I would have if I couldn't walk. She looked all over the internet for more information on CH doggies and she found Eddie's Wheels and saw a picture of a CH doggy with a 4 wheel cart. She was so excited at the thought of me actually being able to run with the other dogs someday.

Thank You for reading my story! I hope you will add me as your friend - I love new friends!

Mom plans on keeping the blog updated on my progress, so check back often!
