SEEKING HELP

[TK_LEPER]

Hey Gang,

 

Some of you may know already, but for those who don't... I had a freak accident with my dog a 3-4 weeks back. As I was pulling into the parking lot at the local dog park, she had gotten so excited she crawled out the crack in the window and fell out of the car. I had both our dogs in the car and didn't even hear her trying to get out ... all I heard was her yelping once she was outside. I ran outside to get her, and could tell right away something was wrong with her front right leg, it was just giving out when she went to walk on it. So thinking she had broken it I rushed her to the Emergency Animal Clinic.

 

We spent a good portion of the night there before they told us that she had tore all the nerves in that leg and that it was paralyzed. They also said that she most likely will not regain use of the leg and it would have to eventually be amputated. Often when dogs go through this type of injury, they will self-mutilate ... I was hoping she wouldn't but she is starting to chew at her leg. She's had numerous checkups on the limb since... And tonight I had to run her to the vet again because she had completely removing the flesh from her leg. So the surgery has been bumped up to this Thursday (Aug 16th). Really no way around her losing the leg now.

 

I adopted this puppy from the humane society about three Months ago. The first dog I've ever adopted, and this is what happens. I just feel so dang bad, like I let her down or something? Anyhow, this is where I need your help. The vet said the surgery is going to cost us $1,500.00 and I don't know where I will come up with the money. We have bills from my past surgeries overdue, taxes that still need to be paid ... we have three kids, two car payments, three mortgages... I could go on... BUt what I'm trying to say that thing have been real tight for us.

 

I'm not looking for hand outs, but if anyone needs detonators kits, belt clips or helmets built for them, anything you can think of, please let me know ... I'm also an accomplished graphic designer, 3D modeler, video editor and photographer ... Please let me know if you need any of these items or services. I could really use the cash right now. I may be listing a few items for sale as well... I'll have to figure something out.

 

Thanks for reading this.

 

Jesse, Stella and Family

I still have my 1/3rd scale SFS helmet that could use some TLC. You did an amazing job on yours.

 

I hope it works out buddy...

Thanks man, yeah... we've had a black cloud over our house for like a year. We must be cursed or something. I don't know anymore.

 

But If you need me to paint that mini helmet for you let me know. Thanks!

I'll try to get that sorted within a week or so then. I think I have the perfect shipping box at the office, which I won't be visiting until next week.

I'll take a set of belt clips. Let me know a PP total and I'll send the money out right away and you can just send me the clips whenever you get the time.

 

Scratch that. I'll take a whole Detonater kit.

 

and I've got a partially completed ATA helmet that could use some ears, the mouth and vocoder painted and some mic tips installed... I'd be more than happy to let you finish it for me to help out the pup.

That would be a big help, thanks Nathan!

you should start a CHIP IN for the dog!

 

http://www.chipin.com/

 

I'll donate once you do!

[LadyInWhite[TK]]

I'll donate to the Chip In also. Also if you use FB or any social media be sure to put the word out. Email a few rescue groups. They get a lot of stories like this and can't help everyone, but you never know if you hit someone in a good mood. Also work out a payment plan with the vet, preferably one you can extend as long as possible, so that you aren't forced to cough it all up at once.

 

I'm sorry to hear about the little pup. I will say one thing, though, you DID NOT let her down. The fact that you are still working on her and didn't give up is WONDERFUL! Be proud! And one of the greatest life lessons I've ever learned: Dogs don't know they're handicapped. Or if they do, they sure don't seem to let it stop them from enjoying life to the fullest We could all learn a bit from that!

I created a Chipin, but I can't seem to post the widget anywhere.

[bluehickey]

Chip in donation sent! We just got a new dog and have had it only for a few days, but I know how quickly they can become family members. I hope everything works out with your puppy!

[TK_LEPER]

Thank you!

 

I had my PayPal ID wrong, I fixed it this morning.

 

Thank You so much!

That's why it says "unclaimed" in my Pp account!

The vet said the surgery is going to cost us $1,500.00 and I don't know where I will come up with the money. We have bills from my past surgeries overdue, taxes that still need to be paid ... we have three kids, two car payments, three mortgages... I could go on... BUt what I'm trying to say that thing have been real tight for us.

 

When I hear about stories like this one I have only one word: I-N-S-A-N-E.

 

I'm sorry, I know probably this is not the right moment and the right place to say this, but I can't shut my mouth when I hear of these things.

I hope Obahma will do something for this, and will institute the State/mutual aid for people and pets either because pets are living beings, not objects you must repair.

Also, remember to get insurance for your pets. If you care about them, you get insurance.
