Hello, I am asking anyone who knows me or has ever had the pleasure of knowing or even meeting my friend Charles Barkley, for a couple of minutes of your time, a couple of words of encouragement, or prayers to a god of your understanding, and if possible, a couple of bucks from your pocket. Charles has been sick for about a week. At about 3 AM this morning, X-rays confirmed that Charles has a GI obstruction...something trapped in and blocking his digestive tract. This is a very serious and time-sensitive situation. If left untreated, he most likely will die in the next 24-72 hours.

Between 2 emergency vet visits, one regular vet visit, some X-rays, and a few different meds, I've spent upwards of 2k already this week. Unfortunately, this was only to diagnose and calm his nausea. Treatment starts at 2100, and could end up costing up to 4 or 5k. Today, I humbly ask for any donations anyone has the ability to make. If you can't make a donation, we understand...just repost this as many places as you can. We are grateful for any help anyone is able to give. This dog literally saved my life...now it's my turn to save his. I'm humbly asking for your help. Any and all donations received will go to pay for the cost of treatment and continued care thereafter.

Thank you.
