Lulu

“I am LuLuBelle the English Bulldog. I’ll admit, I think I’m pretty special. People say that I am cute, bubbly and a little on the wild side. Whatever.

I am 4 1/2 years old now and a petite girl for a bully……and cute, remember? I was born with a severe luxating right patella and a deformed left leg……big bummer right?

Luckily, my family found Mary Kay, who helped me for the first 2 years of my life live with my condition and I did really well. Mary Kay helped to strengthen my legs and gave me a chance to develop into a strong, healthy girl……better to rule the world with!

When I was 2, my patella slipped out of place so badly that I needed surgery. From the day of my surgery, Mary Kay was by my side and has been ever since. She showed my family how to do massage and stretching while I was recuperating. Once my stitches were removed, I began to see Mary Kay once a week for rehabilitation. She had me back on my feet and moving right away. She gave my family "homework" and guided them in exercises that continued my recovery in between appointments. Mary Kay’s therapy brought me back on track with super use of my surgery leg!

Mary Kay is awesome at keeping my whole body in top shape. I’m able to use both of my back legs just like other dogs, even my deformed leg, and I have super strength in them now! I have to say, I look pretty darn good!

Did I happen to mention that Mary Kay is one of my MOST FAVORITE people in the WHOLE WORLD? I give her bully smooches every week just to remind her how much she means to me and my family. I wiggle my butt and sit by the door when my family tells me she is on her way to my home for treatment. (My Mom and Dad like her, too!)

My family is so grateful to Mary Kay for her dedication to my care and well being. She is my friend forever and ever!!”
