Hi, my name is Rickey, and my girlfriend and I have our dog named "Puppy". While we were on vacation to California, our dog "Puppy" started acting odd and weak, and had these lumps in her throat. We decided to take her into the vet and see what's going on. It could have been one of three things: parasite, infection or lymphoma. We were able to get her on medication for the first 2 hoping this would not be the worst. Unfortunately she has not improved. The vet told us that we could be looking anywhere from 3,000$ to 5,000$ for chemo treatment. At that point we only have 1,500$ to get her help with, which falls short sadly. We decided that we weren't capable of giving her the help she needs. We were planning to go the route of pain killers and love, while she dies.
This is a devastating decision for us since it's a roadblock of money that ends her life under our care, and it kills me inside to feel that I have given up on a life because of a price tag.
Puppy is 10 years old, and has been just the most wonderful family member and companion. It hurts me so badly to also see my girlfriend "Danae" go through the acceptance that this is how it ends. Even if we were able to come up with the money, there is no guarantee she is cured. And even if she is cured, she may only have a few years left on her life and time on earth. It seems like such small odds for such little chance. But I can't give up the hope or fight. Puppy's life is worth fighting for. For Puppy, for Danae, and for me. If there was a small shred of hope to give her a fighting chance for just a little more life, I want to try.
I had an idea that maybe I could reach out to this "go fund me" thing. I feel the odds are small but every tiny chance is worth trying. I'm not asking for some one to fix puppy's sickness for us. I don't want to push my problems onto some one else. I feel like my pride is hurt simply doing this. But we need help, and puppy needs help.
I'm reaching out to anyone who could care. Please help spread the word. Or help with a donation. Any positive thoughts and prayers are a help also. I thank each and every one of you that simply cares and hope for the best. This posting is to help her seek treatment and give her more time on this earth. But I don't want to thank you just for donating. I want to thank you with all my heart for simply caring about a wonderful loving K9 family member. "Puppy"
