First and foremost, for all of you who have contributed to our current fund-raising campaign, we can't thank you enough for your generous support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Jerry and Jim Jeeping in Old Blue at Vickers Ranch

My people have now completed our migration of this blog and the Tripawd Discussion Forums to our own dedicated server. This was no easy feat, but the upgrade was necessary due to poor website performance on our old shared hosting account.

As our community grows, so must we. It is our mission to help support those of you facing the difficult decisions of amputation and cancer care for your pups. With your support, we can continue to do so indefinitely.

It has been almost three weeks since we made the big leap to our new box. We believe we have worked out all the kinks. Those who remember all the mysterious Server 500 errors, shouldn't be seeing them any more. If you do, or encounter any other anomalies, please report the details here.

Now that we have the bandwidth, you can expect more major improvements around here too. Our new random tripawd header images are just the beginning. The forums are finally working well, and our next project will be a better chat room solution. The big news, however, will be when we launch tripawds.net ... we don't want to give away too much about this yet, so stay tuned for some really exciting announcements.

All that's left to do with this upgrade is pay for it. And thanks to many of you, we are making great progress toward that end. But we have a long way to go. As of this posting, we have raised 30% of our goal to cover the next full year of dedicated hosting and all our operating expenses. Just 20 contributors have made this happen. But consider this: we have more than 500 registered forum members and blog subscribers. If everyone gave just a few dollars, we could call this campaign quits.

If you have given already, please don't contribute again. Let's give everyone a chance to help out. If you think Tripawds is run by some big company, we are honored, but you are mistaken. Our campaign announcement includes more details and an itemized expense budget for those interested. And don't forget Sasha's generous offer to create custom tripawd poster artwork for every dog who donates.

Please know that we totally understand the costs associated with canine cancer care, and we do not expect everyone to Chip In. If you are not in a position to contribute, please consider helping by placing the widget above on your website or Facebook profile. Just click the <copy> link for details.

Thank you for your continued support.

And we can't thank you enough-

I hope everyone will consider even dontating a few dollars- maybe give up that Starbucks for a few days and put the savings towards helping Jerry's folks maintain this site- I know so many of us could not have made this journey without it.

Like Jerry said, with all the members if everyone just gave a few bucks that would go a long way. 

Any amount is a step towards the goal.

Awww shucks, thanks Wrigley. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and support! And like you said, heck, even a buck or two is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use!
