My dog Raven is only seven years old. She’s beloved by all who have met her. The worst news was confirmed during a third follow-up X-Ray/examination one week ago.

She has a cancerous tumor between her heart & spine that is slowly pushing into her trachea and making it hard for her to breathe.

Raven has touched many souls. She’s saved my life more than once just by being the four-legged angel that she is.

This is not a comfortable endeavor for me. She’s helped me battle my own mental health disorders & PTSD from the very first day I lifted her into my arms. She still has time. More check-ups .. secondary options. There are methods to explore including a cat scan, oncology options, & just general medical care.

I plan to order & send out bracelets to all who wish to contribute to this campaign: I am calling this “With Raven” - and the wristbands will reflect that. Those will be sent out in time - & as promptly as possible.

All of that is said with the heaviest of hearts. But I can’t sit idly by while the dog that saved my life is battling to prolong hers.

All of my love — & Raven’s too.
