My doxie went through a spinal injury this past winter and I remember crying when I realised that he couldn’t wag his tail and I also remember how thrilled I was the first time I saw that little tiny tail twitch

I am enjoying reading your posts very much <3

Just wanted to say Thank-you for taking such good care of my foster dog Zyada.
Buddy is now with the Pt St Joe Humane Society and will find a GREAT home.
Thanks for coming to Wakulla County!

Norm,
Wonderful story and for me personally the kick in the butt that I needed. I bought a wonderful book recently called A Rare Breed of Love about Baby, a puppy mill poodle who was rescued by a kind lady who went on to use her as the poster dog for meeting politicians and trying to change laws.
As much as I want to read it, I have been keeping it at arm’s length. Reading about puppy mills is almost impossible for me.
But your description of the “walls” we build around ourselves really hit home. I’m going to give that book another go.

Thanks again.

Helen

Welcome to Wakulla County! You sound like the angel WE all need in our lives, speaking of angels.
I’m sorry I missed you at the fire house last night, I heard it was great. I plan on dropping in with my big Golden Doodle and saying HI soon. I have a hobby pet sitting business out here at Shell Point,if you ever need help with anything, I love all the animals and caring for them as well.
Thanks,
Linda

Some vets would immediatly have told the owners to put Buddy down, the same way they told me when I had Miss Kitty, a cat paralyized by a gunshot to the spine. I didn’t, and I am glad to say my first impression of you was correct. I thought right off that you were who I wanted looking after my babies. Welcome to Wakulla doc, we hope you never leave!

Miracles really do happen! It’s true too that Angels have names like Norm!

Nicely done. That was a beautiful story. Buddy’s a lucky dog, and he had a good doctor…

THANK YOU for posting my Buddy’s survival story. Everytime I tell his story to people, they get excited and cannot believe how he had recovered. When I got him home, Buddy was greeted with some very warm wishes. It was rough at first but we all adjusted to his condition and he is back to being normal Buddy. He is eating healthy, ofcourse, and is trying to jump on the furniture. We have some of the best neighbors EVER and they frequently come over just to check on Buddy.

I want to thank you and your staff for keeping us as informed as you did and for being patient with me through the tears I had shed. Most importantly, I want to thank you, Dr. Griggs, for not giving up hope on Buddy. If it weren’t for you, Buddy wouldn’t be the “man” he is today!
