Two doggies that need our help!

Wroooo! Happy Wednesday! I'm not doing a Wordless Wednesday post today, because I want to write about two doggies that need some help.



The furst one is the doggy from my post yesterday, Daisy. Eduardo the Snuggle Puggle told me about her, and her situation is so similar to mine that I feel like we're kindred spirits. She's the doggy that was injured and not taken care of. Now she has had one operation, and she needs another one. The cost of Daisy's medical care is estimated to be between $5,000 and $7,000, and her foster mom has set up a fund to collect any donations that anybody can make. Go to Eduardo's post for the information on how to donate. (Eduardo made this really cool button, and I wanted to post again so I could share it with you!)

The other doggy I want to mention is named Sasha. She is being fostered by Tatum Tot Spice and her family for Utah Collie Rescue, and they are worried that the rescue group doesn't have enough money to pay for Sasha's medical care. Look at this beautiful girl!

You can see that Sasha has a problem with her nose. It actually extends to her mouth, nose and ears, and she is going to have a biopsy done on December 23rd to see what is causing the problem. There are apparently three possibilities, and if you'd like to read about them, please go to Tatum's Mum's bloggy. (At least I'm pretty sure that Cynthia is Tatum's Mum!)


Sasha also has kennel cough (which is being treated right now) and an infection in her mouth. She's got terribly bad teeth, too. There's a lot going on with this girl, and we want to help her cuz she's a really sweet girl! You can go to Tatum's bloggy to find out about donating.

It is really a hard thing for rescues and shelters when they are caring for doggies (and kitties, and all kinds of other animals!) who need medical attention. The Girl has volunteered at our local SPCA for years, and she has seen so many wonderful animals come in who would make the BEST addition to a family (good temperament, sweet and happy disposition). The only problem is that they have some medical need.


The BCSPCA decided to do something just for these animals. They created the Biscuit Fund, the sole purpose of which is to provide emergency medical treatment for homeless and wild animals. I've posted about the Biscuit Fund before here, and my own story is here. Yes, it was the Biscuit Fund that provided the funds for my operation! I even have a button somewhere on my sidebar, BOL.


Not evfurry rescue and shelter organization is lucky enough to have a Biscuit Fund set aside that is specifically for medical care. So they have to raise the money on a case by case basis. I know that this is a hard time of year, especially THIS year, but if you are able to give anything, evfurry dollar counts. Maybe you have to buy a pressie for somebody who loves doggies, and you can make a donation in their name!


The Girl and I have no money to donate (darn disability!), but we're helping Eduardo and Tatum to get the word out. You can help that way too, if you want to mention these two wonderful doggies on your bloggy.


Thank you, my furends, for reading about Daisy and Sasha. I know you all care about them, cuz I know you! Pass the word around the bloggy-world, you never know who will be able to help!

Polly needs our help!

This is Polly. She's a five year old Border Collie who has been rescued by the BCSPCA. This is what she has to say for herself:


"I'm told it's Sponsor a Dog Month. That works out well for me since I'm a dog and I need sponsorship. Before I arrived at the SPCA I was stuck living inside a dirty chicken coop with another dog. As a result of this neglect I needed surgery on my ear as well as treatment for a nasty skin infection. Now I'm in recovery and I'm excited for the day I can move in with a loving new family."


The BCSPCA Biscuit Fund has provided the funds for Polly's operation, and they need to continue raising money in order to continue helping animals who need emergency medical treatment. If you would like to sponsor Polly, please go here. You don't have to live in BC; you can sponsor her from anywhere!!


Dannan's operation to remove his leg was funded by the Biscuit Fund, so it is a cause dear to our hearts!

couch monster

Hello again, everypuppy! I'm getting to post all the time lately!

After much thinking, and some advice from my good fur-end Sunny, my swollen head has gone back to it's normal size. Being featured on the Biscuit Fund website hasn't really changed my life, except that The Girl keeps telling me that I can't have bodyguards. Well, everydoggie, there's been no need for that, actually. No pupperazzi, no autograph hounds, no stalkers peering through the fence. My brush with fame was heady, but I'm back down to earth now. Thanks for putting up with the big head!

Actually, I could have used a bodyguard the other night. The Girl took some pictures of me being EATEN!

There I was, minding my own pup-ness, having a dognap, when all of a sudden I noticed that I was being swallowed by the couch!

You can see the alarm in my eyes!

Resigned to being eaten by the couch. Sigh, nobody's running to the rescue. The Girl is just flashing that stupid silver box at me. Where are the bodyguards when I need them?

This one is really blurry, but I think it captures the BEING EATEN part pretty

well.

You can see I'm hanging on for dear life!

In desperation, I go upside down in an attempt to appease the COUCH MONSTER!

Is it working? Is it working???

Life is very hard for little brown dogs.

Note from The Girl: Hah! If this is an example of how hard life is for Dannan, then you can all rest easy! He likes to perch on the back cushion of the couch like the Min Pins do, but he is significantly larger than they are. And he also likes to paw at the cushions until they start to fall off the couch, then wedge himself in between the back of the couch and whatever cushions are left. Life is indeed hard! LOL.

I AM FAMOUS!

Dannan here again, wroo wroo everypuppy!

I found out that I AM FAMOUS!!!

Remember how I told you that a great BCSPCA fund called the Biscuit Fund paid to get my leggie fixed??? Well, Biscuit is a real dog, I think the first one that the fund helped, and Biscuit has a blog. AND IT FEATURES ME THIS WEEK!!!!!

There's a picture of me and everything!

(The Girl here: We're trying not to let "the fame" go to his head.)

So, bloggy-doggies, drop by Biscuit's Blog if you want to see a FAMOUS Three-Legged Little Brown Dog! (Oh, and there is a link to another three-legger named Remington there too. The Girl says we have to go check out Remington's blog. But I am FAMOUS!!!!)

Pictures from the pre-op days

Well, hello, everypup! The Girl is feeling really guilty for not posting much lately (although she can't really remember when she last posted here). So I told her to just sit back and I'd take care of it.

When I was at the SPCA, I got adopted by a family who eventually had to bring me back. They had taken me to the vet and discovered that I needed an operation on my front leggy, but they couldn't afford it (it was really expensive). So they had to bring me back to the shelter, and they were very sad.

Lucky for me, not long before that, the BCSPCA had started a new program, called The Biscuit Fund. The purpose of the fund is to pay for emergency (and often non-emergency) veterinary care for the animals who come into the care of the BCSPCA. Jennifer at the Kamloops SPCA thought I was a perfect candidate. So she took a bunch of pictures of me so that she could make up a poster asking for donations to the Biscuit Fund. And I got to have my operation!

Anyway, these are some of the pictures that Jennifer took of me. The Girl looks at these and always says how funny I look, because she says I look so different with four legs instead of three!

I call this one my Noble Dog photo. Notice the torture device (The Girl: Dannan, it's just a bandana!) around my neck.

Here I am, running with joy. I have always LOVED running!

And this is The Girl's favourite pre-op photo of me:

Don't I look fantastic??
