I was born with a condition called "Cerebellar Hypoplasia" which is a congenital
birth defect. What this means is that I can't keep my balance on my feet, therefore I fall over onto my side.
I roll from side to side or take short "hops" from place to place to get around. I may take longer to get to one place
or another but I manage it. And boy when mamaJackie runs the vacuum cleaner I can scoot across the floor into the other
room in no time flat!!!
After I was born one of the vets suggested to my mama & papa that they put
me to sleep right away. Boy am I glad they didn't take that suggestion! I take special vitamins in my food to
keep me strong & healthy.
Because of my condition my owners started taking me places with them (to get me
out of the house I suppose) so I love to be in the car. I get to go to parades, visit schools, nursing homes &
I guess I get spoiled because of the way God made me. How cool is that? Well the only problem I can see is my
mama likes putting silly little hats on me & taking my pictures. I wear her bracelets as a necklace for me.
Sometimes I give her a dirty look when she comes at me with that "Oh look at the new hat that I bought for you..."
The picture you see of me here was not so bad. I was part of the "Dilbert"
theme during a recent Cancer Walk for Life benefit in our community. I really dig the shades, don't you?!!!!
