Maggie's New Knee
Donation protected
Hello beloved friends and family, this is my BFF and fur baby, Maggie.
A few weeks ago, she injured her knee while hiking with me in the Columbia River Gorge. Turns out, she tore her ACL or CCL (in dogs) and is in need of surgery to repair her knee. The surgery is scheduled for August 19 and there is a 6 week (NO WALKING) recovery period. Honestly I am a bit terrified just thinking about how challenging the next 2 months will be for us. Fortunately, my Partner and Maggie's dad, Bill and my other BFF, Samantha are both amazing and are here to support us through the healing and post-op process.
It is VERY rare for me to ask for help, especially financial help (I am a radically self sufficient human) but sometimes, ya' just need to turn to your community and ask for help. So, this is me asking for your support. Maggie is an active and healthy girl and loves to be outside hiking and swimming with her humans and her animal buddies. The good news is that this surgery, although expensive, is very successful and should enable her to have plenty of dogventures and a pain free active life.
And so, I humbly and gratefully ask for any help you can offer us at this time. No amount is too small...everything adds up. All of your thoughts and collective healing support are greatly appreciated as well. I will keep you all posted on her healing and progress. We thank you for loving us and supporting us.
