Hey guys… as some you may know already, this is a very hard thing for me to do and I have never made one of these before. It's not about me however, is about my baby.


This is Yuki. She is my 6-year old short hair Pekingese. Yuki is part of my emotional support system… I suffer from Bipolar 2 and rely on both of my dogs for a myriad of mental health issues, especially now that my husband is stationed in South Korea.

While I left for an appointment this last Monday, her and our foster dog, Ringo, got into a fight. Yuki is 100% bark and 0% bite, and lost pretty badly. This has never happened before in the two years that we’ve had Ringo and it was extremely shocking to come home with her bloody, scratched, and bitten. I took her to Banfield Pet Hospital where they took x-rays and placed her on some pain medication… she had broken her lower left mandible and is in need of a specialist to wire her jaw back together.


As it is right now, the jaw is completely unhooked and causing her a great deal of pain. In addition to this surgery, she’s going to require follow up, X-rays, and more medications to deal with pain, anxiety, and infection.

I’ve tried for 10-years to have children of my own, but my body won’t cooperate. For me.. even though Saki & Yuki have an important job in my life, for all intents and purposes they’re my babies. Watching her suffer is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had to watch and all I want to do is take care of her the same way that she takes care of me.


I know that I have a wonderful community of people who love me just as much as I love all of you, and over the past 5-years you guys have asked me many times to open up a GoFundMe to help pay for surgeries surrounding my extra skin.

I just… can’t do that, guys… but, this time, it isn’t about me: It’s about providing the best quality of life for my Yuki and to keep her healthy and pain free. It’s so hard for me to ask for help, but this time I need it so badly. She is a darling, sweet, adorable girl and doesn’t deserve to be hurting like this. I’m doing the very best that I can and I’ve been selling things and pulling together as much money as I can to help us survive, but this surgery is just so much more expensive than what I can manage to scrounge up on my own. I still need a lot of help so here I am praying, and thankful for any donations and warm feelings given to my little girl.

I am happy to give follow-ups with video… I have a YouTube channel, tons of pictures of her, as well as all of the medical information I get back from Banfield like her X-ray and surgery information.

Thank you for helping her… She is so full of love and I love her so, so much.
