Again, thank you to the additional nice welcoming messages from the last couple of days! I am really glad you like the website. Mom spent a lot of time helping me on it (my paws were just a little too big for the keyboard, but I did INSIST on helping her a lot. I also had to interrupt her a lot basically telling her to put the computer down and to play with me instead (I mean, really, the website was important but sometimes she needs to get her priorities straight!) Anyway, it was important to me that she know I was her partner in this, just because she was having to do the typing, I made sure she let people know everything I wanted to tell them. Now that it has launched, I have met other dogs like me from all over the world! They got lucky too and had moms (and dads) like mine; and breeders who really cared too and wanted to try to help their humans owners to have the best life we can. Now that we are connecting and sharing information and knowledge, we can hopefully help so many more people and have a place for people to go when dealing with this in the future. But until more research is done and testing can be done in advance (like cysternia) more puppies like me will come into this world. I just hope they get the same chance me and my new friends got. Maybe breeders and owners will now know what is involved and understand that, under the right conditions, we can still be happy dogs and have a pretty decent quality of life. For those on Facebook, if you are not already my "friend", I would welcome a friend request. You can find me under "Sula Thenewfie".
