Hi my name is Colin and I am a 6 year old dachshund from London. I am what some may say is an untrainable dachshund but i call it cleaver. My mummy says I am her Marley (from Marley and Me) as I am really naughty and never listen but she loves me so much anyway. My favourite things include running after squirrels, attacking the postman and destroying all post, and snuggling under a duvet with anyone who will let me and I also LOVE sardines.

Recently I had an accident and hurt myself playing with my brother Milo. It really hurt and is still hurting because.....I slipped a disc. Now I have wobbly back legs and can't play anymore so mummy says i need to see a special doctor who can help me get the spring back in my step.

So....from me and my mummy we really need your help. To see this special doctor we need to try and raise some money (not sure that this is but mummy says its important) to cover the vet bills. No donation is too small and if we reach our target mummy says i won't hurt anymore.

The special doctor says we need to move quickly so i can use my legs again so please if you can, help me and I promise to keep you all up to date with my journey and recovery. Big wet kisses, Love Colin
