Proud Citizens of Wobble Nation | #WobblyWednesday
Wobble Nation – the close-knit community of those who have or have had a fur-family member with cerebellar hypoplasia, and those who support animals with cerebellar hypoplasia. We have been proud citizens of Wobble Nation for over three years. Over the course of those three years, I have learned and experienced so much.
I have read and learned more about cerebellar hypoplasia than I ever thought possible.
I have learned how to make life easier for Sophie.
I have learned to “let go” – that I can’t baby Sophie, that she needs to learn to do things on her own.
I have learned that she CAN do anything she wants to do.
I have experienced the frustration and hurt of hearing others laugh at her or make rude comments about the way she walks.
I have experienced the heartache of watching her fall.
I have experienced the tentative excitement of watching her get back up and try again.
I have experienced the heartfelt joy and wonder of watching her eventually accomplish her goals… the Sophie way.
I have experienced the warm acceptance and support of so many, including our furiends and readers here and on social media.
Sharing my life with Sophie, being a citizen of Wobble Nation, has been life changing. Thank you to all of you who have been a part of this journey with us so far. Sophie and I look forward to many more wobbly adventures, meeting many more furieds along the way, and educating the world about cerebellar hypoplasia.
If you aren’t already following the #WobblyWednesday hashtag that we started a while back, we highly suggest checking it out – particularly on Instagram. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and warm your heart.
*Thank you to our furiends Po, Linus, and Lucy over on the Wobble Nation Facebook page for designing and selling these t-shirts, and for the awesome medallion that we won in their auction.
We adore Sophie! She’s very a very special girl, and her CH only makes her all the more precious.
Sophie is adorable! It’s hard as a pet parent to watch them and not want to help them or feel for them when they are struggling.
Absolutely love little Sophie – and are so glad you’ve got such a pawesome family!! Love is so pivotal to the human and pet experience – and you’ve got it!
It’s great to be a part of a community like that! Sophie is adorable!
Sophie is such a wonderful kitty. So pretty, has positive energy and yes, she can do anything she wants to do 🙂 And she has great pawrents who help her be her very best self!
About your question, we get shelves from Lowe’s and Home Depot.
Have a wonderful day xoxo
Sophie is an amazingly special little lady…and you are fantastic parents to her and educators to the rest of us!
Sophie sure is beautiful!
Sophie is such a beautiful kitty! She is amazing and watching her adventures through your blog is so much fun. Thank you for sharing her with all of us!
Sophie is a testament to the theory that if you don’t know you’re different, you don’t act like it – she’s up for anything and doesn’t let a fall or a wobble stop her for one minute. Bless her and you – she’s had all the love and encouragement she could possibly get and THAT has made her brave and happy. Isn’t that what we all want for our sweet furkids? Indeed!
Love, Pam and Sam
What a wonderful message to get out there! I’ve only ever seen a CH kitty once in person and she was quite the trooper. It sounds like Sophie has the perfect home and most wonderful kitty mom!
Sophie is beautiful!
You are the best ambassador for kitties like Sophie. She’s a very special girl, and she lives in the perfect home. Thanks to you, her wonderful mom, we can see she’s happy ! Purrs
These photos are precious. Sophie has the most gorgeous eyes and sweetest expression. She is a real beauty. I love seeing her and watching her achieve great things. Her tag is purrfect. Bet everyone who didn’t win will be jealous. Will Sophie be coming back to BlogPaws this year. I really want to see her again. Sending lots of love to all.

Sophie is a gorgeous cat and you are doing awesome with her. Thank you so much for speaking out and advocating!
How wonderful to have a group you can be part of to help with Sophie. I love Sophie. She has such a neat personality.
She’s very beautiful. What causes this? Was she born with it?
Yes, animals are born with CH. It happens when the cerebellum part of the brain does not develop completely before birth, caused by the mother contracting panleukopenia while pregnant, trauma/malnourishment while in utero, etc. Check out our post What is Cerebellar Hypoplasia for more info!
Oh those eyes. . . love those eyes!
Sophie is such a strong kitty, I’m sure she’s glad to have you along the way!
We are glad that we know Sophie and how sweet and determined she is! A good ambassador fur this issue, and the best kitty mom to help her do it:)
Sophie is a beauty! I follow a kitty on Facebook–Grace, of Grace with CH and Care Bear–and I am so happy that more people are learning that kitties with CH can live happy lives.
Sophie is so cute – such and inspiring post. Lucky you found each other and great you are advocating.
Little Papi, you are purrfect. Inside and out. Our Mama loves you so. Love to your Mama from ours. That little medallion you won is truly lovely 🙂
