A story of Resilience!
Veering off of my usual Blog topics, I am diving into a tumultuous experience from approximately one year ago.
Some owners of short-legged and long-bodied dogs are well-acquainted with IVDD (intervertebral disc disease), but I was not informed or prepared for the emotional roller coaster of my pet’s injury and disability.
When Rowdy did what typical precocious dachshunds do- jumped off of the furniture, he injured his spine and progressively became paralyzed. Seeing him drag his lower body was heart-wrenching, and I was a mess.
I never posted about it on social media, and only a few people new about his paralysis.
We are nearing the one-year anniversary of Rowdy’s medical journey, and I am finally ready to delve into our journey. I know that seems a little strange that it would take me a year to broach a subject about my pet. After all, I have tackled some very traumatic topics, such as a major natural disaster and fire which burned down my parents’ home and land (along with approximately 11, 000 acres and neighbors’ homes and structures).
However, exciting news- I am not only going to shed some light on his medical journey but am also announcing my new children’s book publication, “Resilient Rowdy.”
