Inspiration on two wheels.

Pugs, our disabled pets can teach us a lot. One of those lessons is how to enjoy life even with our physical problems.

This was my Lab, Sierra. She was 10 1/2 when her leg was amputated due to cancer. She lived 3 1/2 year after her amputation with only having problems the last 2-3 months.


She developed arthritis in her back hip after the surgery. Still, she insisted on going for her daily walk and going to family parties. She loved people and wanted to be around them all the time.

Her last two months I was able to get her a wheel chair. It was donated to her by the Handicapped Pets Foundation. This was a week before she died. I was happy to bring her some joy those last couple of weeks and to put a smile back on her face.

When you see a face like that, you can't help but make yourself get about your day. I have my disabilities, but hers was worse than mine. At least I had both my legs.
