obviously like your website but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless Ill definitely come back again. dgbgddgcakdeeaed

May we have a prayer or a moment of silence for our baby lost on March 20th, 2018... Grandma's "MARLEY HENDRIX MORRISON" may he rest in peace and know how much he's loved & missed. This is an awful disease & it's so hard to watch your baby dog suffer thru it. My son took his boy & he couldn't even stay til Marley was completely gone, he broke down & had to leave... I would of held Marley in my arms until they made me leave. He was my angel, he helped me when I needed him the most. I just want everyone to know how hard it is to watch them & only be able to help so much. He can't be replaced, he was 1 of a kind. And I want to thank all of you for the tremendous work you do & the determination you have in finding the cur for DM. My prayers are with you & I will educate others as much as I can. R.I.P. MARLEY

Signing guestbook to show my support for Project New Hope. My son's 10 year old German Shepherd/Pitbull mix, "Marley" has DM and we want to spread the word for a Cure or prevention of this disease in the future. It is a very sad thing to live through, knowing there's not really anything you can do to stop this terrible disease. Watching your pet suffer through this is no different than if it were your own child. Our pets are our children. My son has come to terms with the fact that Marley's not going to get better. I have done a lot of research on this disease since 2mos ago when we found out he has DM. I did read an article about a veterinarian who has actually had an 80% cure/remission to DM. He has been studying a cure for 20yrs with 3 other veterinarian's. I read the complete articles and it actually was not to difficult of a regimen to follow to attempt to put DM into remission. It consisted of home cooked diet, herbals, exercise and 1 medication. Currently we are considering your program due to my son's suffering with Marley's suffering. Thank you and all the volunteers for your hard work dedication and support.

My best friend Rosie, a purebred GSD had DM and passed away in May 2016, nearing 13 yo. For the past 5 years I've researched and read about DM, trying to figure out a way to rid our dogs of this horrible disease. I just recently came across your website, looking for anyone who might be trying to find a cure so I could join the fight. Thank you for this!

DM took my girl away and now her brother more than likely has it. 

Let's kill this disease

God Bless all of you and your pups!

Is there any clinical studies for dogs that are young but are high risk for DM
So sorry for just replying. We have been experiencing web problems. To answer your question, no. We don't know of any studies right now that are targeted for younger dogs, but the University of Missouri may have ongoing studies. However, they are mostly geared toward corgis and boxers. There was also one a while back at Tufts Veterinary school in Mass. They may still take some canines for study. Have you had your pup tested for the DNA marker? We will be glad to help any way we can. Please follow us, as we are always looking for studies, and are currently hoping to continue our "Project New Hope" sometime this year. We wish you much luck dealing with this disease.

Just lost our beautiful shep who suffered from DM. We miss him deeply.
 I am so sorry about your pup. DM is a tough thing to go through. I hope you are continuing to heal from this loss. Our apologies for not getting back sooner. We had had some web problems.

Hi

I am on this roller coaster at the moment my German Shepherd was diagnosed just under a year ago but he had it at least 6 months before it was confirmed.  He is still able to walk but his left leg is showing the most of the signs but he is struggling to get up from the floor now.  His name is Jai-Jai (JJ) he will be 11 in January. .

I did not know about DM until my 12 yo Airedale mix started showing symptoms so very much like DM. I learned about the DNA test (she is a carrier - so unlikely that this is what she has but you never know huh?) and have been part of the DM Facebook community for a few months now. Such a devastating disease that afflicts what seems to be so many. I will do my small part to support your efforts to find a cure and those battling this terrible disease that robs otherwise healthy dogs of their golden years. Thank you for doing what you do.

Dear Mindy: I have long watche your page but I am guilty of not formally stopping by and sharing/posting Denby Dog's story which I promise I will do but there is a specific reason I am writing. I will be attending a huge dog event in our community in 2 weeks. (C.A.R.L. Pooch Parade in Ventura County, CA).  When Denby was here we used a decorated stroller to "walk for others who cannot walk" which garnered a great deal of attention and questions. It dawned on me today that I bet you have brochures or a poster that would look lots more professional than some of my homemade signs. I would, of course, make a donation. Educating pet parents about this horrific disease is paramount if we are going to find a cure.

I put my Shepee on Great Lakes Gelatin (kosher beef collagen hydrolysate) and now she has thunder thighs which helps a whole lot...B12 (the real stuff) Vitamin D3, MSM and CamuCamu.

I am having fantastic results...

Thank you for your work on this horrible disease. Our corgi, Tobie, has lost the use of his back legs now. Pulls his body with front legs, has a cart too.
