My dear dog, Georgia, whom everybody says is perfect, has a growth that needs to be removed. Needless to say, I had not budgeted for this turn of events. Because of the urgency of this, I have changed holiday plans and hope to travel to see my family in January instead of Thanksgiving. The veterinarian who will operate on her does not accept partial payments. I am hoping that you can help by contributing any amount, and perhaps you will share this with your friends. While this surgery will hopefully cure her, she will have a long recovery due to it impacting her walking abilities. Thank you for considering this and for holding Georgia and me in the light.
