STORY UPDATED:
My dog Potato has intervertebral disc disease. That means the cushion in the space between the bones of his spine are swelling and blocking neural signals from his brain to his body. It’s currently making him walk like a drunk baby and giving him some short, shooting pain that makes him scream like he’s on fire. If left untreated he could spend his golden years paralyzed.

Potato needs medication, an MRI, and a surgical procedure. Worst case scenario, the whole thing could cost around $12,000. Luckily, Trupanion is an amazing insurance company, and they will be covering most of it. The goal of this fundraiser is what remains.

There are dozens of reasons not to help us. But there’s not a single reason for me not to ask for help. If you help us I promise to pay it forward. Thank you for reading this.

Special thanks to the angels at @pugsofinstagram for bringing this fundraiser to public attention. There really are no words for how grateful I am.
