Watch it again if you missed the ears bouncing 🥰🐶

Rodger is more enthusiastic to take walks in his wheelchair now that it’s cooler! Don’t worry, he still saves his 💩 for the stroller.

Love my silly boy and cherish every minute I get.

Take the trip. The day off work. Stop procrastinating. We get this time with them and it’s gone. We get this one life and we are made to fight to survive but we’ve also been given these magical creatures to share our homes and lives with. I know I want to be someone who can look back and know I did good for those I could.

Rodger had a great time at the beach! I forgot how much he loved to rub his face, ears and every opening into the sand 😭

We explored the Emerald Isle and had beautiful weather. We’ve planned another trip to see the gorgeous leaves change in the Blue Ridge Mountains in a few weeks.

During our drive home we had a talk about Rodgers’ quality of life. DM is such an unfair disease. It takes physical strength and ability while leaving their minds intact. I hope he can join us on our next journey.

For now, we’re soaking up every minute of love!

This season is messy and painful but I cherish every moment I ache from carrying the weight of it.

After our last stroller video, there were a lot of requests for wheelchair videos of Rodger! He uses his wheelchair a few times a week as part of his physical therapy plan and for more freedom of movement. He also swims, gets acupuncture and laser and water treadmill sessions. Rodger has severe arthritis in his feet and wrists so the chair can also be challenging.

Rodger has degenerative myelopathy, a degenerative spinal condition. It’s terminal but mostly non painful.

As long as he’s happy we keep going! Let me know if you have any questions. I want more people to know disabled dogs can do so many things! Follow along for more.
