Blog content is focused on my experiences caring for:
- Bodhi - a mentally disabled blind brindle Boxer dog with congenital hydrocephalus
- Mia - a blind and deaf fawn boxer
- Caly - a mentally disabled blind white boxer with unknown neurological issues
- Holly - a paralyzed American Bulldog mix
Bodhi, Mia, and Caly originate from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bodhi was adopted as a four-month old puppy in 2004 through Boxer Rescue of Albuquerque. Bodhi's hydrocephalus caused blindness, neurological dysfunction, and seizures. He was a very special boy who had a tough beginning, but a longer life than most veterinarians expected he would have. This site was created to help provide information to others who have special needs dogs. Bodhi and Caly both died in 2014. Mia continues to do fairly well, considering her age. Holly originates from Mexico, where she was found dragging herself on the ground. I adopted Holly on December 21, 2014. Her adventures can be followed on Hot Wheels Holly's Facebook page.
