My best friend had a dog who suffered from frequent
epileptic seizures. She was at the chiropractor's
office one day and had mentioned it to him. He told
her to bring Digger along on her next visit and he'd
see what he could do. Whatever he did, it worked, and
now she spends $20 a month taking her dog to her
chiropractor instead of the $100s it used to cost in
doggy medication.

Sheryll, who knows she has strange friends
