Usually, it’s Ask witchypoo, but there were no questions in this letter I received, just an accounting of how the wondrous purple plates worked for her. Her would be Jenny of Hyphen Mama fame.
I loved my purple plates so much, I gave them all away too, and I suspect Jenny is doing the same thing. Here’s what she has to say:
Witchy,
I wanted to share a funny little ditty with you regarding the small circular purple plate I most recently bought for my dog.I have a 7 year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Black Lab mix who LOVES to play with his tennis ball. He could chase his tennis ball 24 hours a day and he’d be a happy boy. About 3 years ago (maybe more, maybe less… my memory fails me) he was jumping for a tennis ball and came down on one of his hind legs and partially tore his ACL. He limped for a few weeks and we took him to the vet, who x-rayed it and told us to see if it would heal on its own. Well, being the runner he is, he never stopped moving long enough to let it fully heal. He’s had a limp since that time. I’ve had him treated with acupuncture and chiropractic care. We can’t afford the $3000 for a knee replacement for him. He continued to limp. Especially after he’d been playing ball. I feed him joint supplements. He limped around almost all the time. Poor guy, had a really hard time getting up and down the stairs.
I put the small circular purple plate on his collar a few months ago. In just the past 2 weeks or so, I’ve noticed HE’S NOT LIMPING. He will limp a tiny bit, but continues to use that leg (where before he’d just lift it up and only use 3 legs). He walks on that leg. He jumps on it. He chases balls without a limp.
I don’t know what the heck it is…but I’m going with it.
Incidentally, I had a spare large circle and my dad was talking about his aches and pains this past weekend. I sent that one off to him and he’s now keeping it in his pocket. He SWEARS that after only a day or so he’s already feeling a difference. He admits it could be wishful thinking, but he doesn’t care.
I wear mine around my neck all the time and just wait for people to ask me about it, because I can’t wait to tell them about it!
Thanks witchy, for such a great little thingy.
Jenny
Hyphen Mamap.s. Also, I hung one over Mack’s bed when he was around 17 months old, that’s when he first started sleeping through the night. But I had to remove the one from Wynnie’s bedroom, as she wasn’t able to sleep at all! Funny how it affects each differently.
I don’t understand why more of you aren’t snapping these plates up. They’re wicked good. And I barely break even on my costs. I just want everyone to have one.
