Surgery for Natalie
Donation protected
If you were to ask what the worst possible thing that could happen to me would be, i would say something happening to Natalie. To know me, is to know Natalie, because we are so attached. She was our(Samantha and I) first big decision we made as a couple. From the moment we brought Natalie home, she has slept next to me/us, been our shadows, and shown me what unconditional love is.
She was easily the best decision we have ever made. A year or so later, we got Pumpkin. Samantha and Pumpkin are incredibly attached. Her and Natalie were typical girls that were close in age. They would have their spats, but they always loved eachother.
Over the years, their spats became more serious. They have fought 3 times that were serious enough for medical attention(only with eachother). We always took care of them like they were our children. They mean more to us than anything else.
On Tuesday, April 14th, Samantha had taken the dogs for a run and got back to the house and put them inside while she stepped back out to talk to her father and neighbor. When she came back, there was(and still is) blood everywhere. All over the couch, the carpet, and all over the exhausted dogs that were panting heavily laying on the floor with gashes, punctures, and lacerations everywhere. Samantha and her father rushed them to the Pet ER in Towson because Pumpkin had lost so much blood, she was going into shock.
They rushed to take care of Pumpkin immediately as she was worse. After a bunch of stitches, antibiotics, and a drain under her arm, she had to stay the night at the Pet ER. Samantha went and picked her up Wednesday.
The cost for Pumpkin alone was $3900.
As for Natalie, she has to have Dental surgery at 8am Friday as a lot of her teeth are broken and a few are incredibly damaged. That plus the rest of the procedures are going to be at least a couple thousand dollars more.
If you know anything about me, you know how incredibly attached i am to my dogs, especially Natalie. This incident has made us realize that as much as we want to, we can't continue the joint custody thing we have going on for Natalie. I am going to have to take her full time. I can't keep her fulltime with my current living situation so i will have to get my own place soon.
With the Coronavirus situation, Samantha is barely working. I still am thankfully, but we do not have this extra money due to everything going on.
I know times are rough on everyone right now, but if you could find it in your heart to help Natalie and Pumpkin, I/we would be forever grateful. For every single person that donates, you will at least get a hug and a visit from myself and kisses from Natalie(when she is able of course!)
I try not to ask for help, but i am pleading for it now. EVERY. SINGLE. DOLLAR. HELPS.
Please help me get the most important thing in my life back to me.
I love you all.
