UPDATE 06.01.26

It is with a heavy heart that I share the loss of my beloved companion, Meatball. Many of you knew her as my sweet lil chunker that was full of personality, love, and endless comfort. She brought so much joy to my life and to everyone who had the chance to meet her. Meatball wasn’t just a pet, she was family.

I am heartbroken to share that during her recent surgery, the veterinarian discovered that she had tumors throughout her organs. Sadly, this made it impossible to proceed with the operation. In that moment, I was faced with one of the most difficult decisions of my life — to let her go peacefully and spare her from further pain and suffering. As much as it hurt, I knew it was the most humane and loving choice I could make for her.

Losing Meatball so suddenly has been incredibly painful, and I am now also facing unexpected medical bills from the attempted surgery, as well as cremation costs.

If you are able to support me during this difficult time, any contribution would be deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, I completely understand! your thoughts, prayers, and sharing this page mean just as much.

For those of you who knew and loved Meatball, I would be so grateful if you could share a memory or a kind thought in her honor. She touched so many lives in her own special way, and I find comfort in knowing she is remembered and loved by so many.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Meatball, my bully, cuddle enthusiast, and full‑time emotional support loaf. Sadly, she’s currently dealing with an intestinal blockage that has her feeling nauseous, lethargic, and personally offended by her own digestive system.

This blockage is acting like it owns the place, blocking traffic like it’s the 405 at rush hour.

I'mbraising funds to help Meatball evict this unwanted tenant so she can get back to her normal activities, such as:

• Staring at me until I give her snacks

• Snoring like a grown man

• And pretending she’s never done anything wrong in her entire life

Any help means the world! Meatball promises to repay you in tail wags and possibly one polite lick.
