A little over a week ago my 6 year old lab Abby was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma after I noticecd a limp that didn't respond to doggy aspirin and continuted to worsen. She goes to the surgeon this monday for her amputation. This all happened so suddently and not only was I not emotionally prepared but I was also not financially prepared for any of this. As I'm sure many tripawd pawrents know the medical bills associated with osteosarcoma and amputation can add up quickly. Beacause of this I am in the process of organizing a fund raiser, hopefully at the 17th street dog park (still waiting to hear from the county) on Feb 20th. Although the details are still being worked out we plan to have a silent auction with goodies for both quadra and tripawds as well as their pawrents, doggie ice cream and snacks and a grooming station as well as tshirt, bandanas etc. All the proceeds will be split between Abby's bills and the National Canine Cancer Foundation. Three weeks post op I'm assuming this will be Abby's first big outing as a tripaw and if there are any others in the Sarasota, Fl area we'd love for you to come out and help us raise awareness! Feel free to email me with any questions Ruthie@dmeoxygen.com and I'll be sure to post details when everything's set in stone
