The Help My Dog (Floppy) Challenge: Day 30 - $82.72 of $5,060.00 - Please Resteem / Upvote / Donate Directly!!!!!!
Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery and should be ok!!!
Unfortunately, this unexpected expense has hit my family hard and I am turning to the Steemit in an attempt to raise funds to pay for this surgery. Every Upvote, Comment, and Resteem will help me out, and any straight donations would be straight up wonderful!
All of your support has been amazing so far and is growing by the day, thank you so much!
Here is the picture of Floppy when he just got out of surgery and the blog started, and the pic that usually appears in the feed each day when his scar was the newest. Below it is a picture of Floppy's scar from 1/20/18, it's healing so well!!!!
Amazing, right?!?!?!
Thank you all for your support, votes, Resteems, and donations so far. Progress is being made, slowly but surely and my family is so appreciative!
DAY 29 UPDATE
The weekends are nice for Floppy because we are usually able to spend much more time with him. That was definitely the case today.
Lucas usually wakes up at 6AM (sigh, yes, even on the weekends), but today he slept until about 715AM, which was very nice. After we brushed our teeth (Vanessa gets to sleep in late on the weekends), we went downstairs and I got him set up with his chocolate milk and chocolate chip muffins for breakfast.
Flop heard us coming down and I was able to catch him waking up and stretching before our walk.
Floppy was ready to for his walk by the time that was finished. He was pretty thirsty and had almost a half full bowl of water and some kibble. He wanted to watch Luey eat but I took him out to his dismay.
It was beautiful out this morning, so Flop and I took a 10 minute walk, he did great!
We saw a dog while we were walking this morning that wasn't on a leash. Flop of course was barking like crazy. He used to not bark so much at dogs when he was younger but hes gotten grumier as hes gotten older I guess.
...I think aboutnhow long it would take Floppy to get used to a new dog in our family, we've always talked about getting another. The way he acts sometimes make me wonder lol.
After the walk, Luey, Flop and I were just chilling on the couch for a bit watching Lu's shows (Mickey & the Roadster Racers and Marvel Universe). Vanessa woke up and we went to the gym from 11-1. Flop was in the kitchen. We got home and then had to get ready for the chili cookoff I mentioned yesterday. We decided not to take Flop with, but once we got back, he was out of the cage and chilling with the fam again!
Floppy jumped off the couch twice today, that was pretty shitty. He also jumped up once. One of the things that Vanessa and I need to work on is figuring out how to keep Flop stationed (on the floor or couch) when he is out of his cage on the weekends. The kitchen plan has been great and all, but it's not like we want to keep him in there on the weekends when we are home, we want him out with us!
The evening was great. Since we were full from the chili cook off, we stayed in.
We started off with his evening walk. He really had to go badly because normally he waits a minute and walks a bit, but this time he went immediately outside of the house.
Then we walked for a few more minutes so he could get his exercise. CHeck out my serious look and my smile LOL
It wouldnt be a normal day without Floppy begging for some of Luey's dinner.
The funnest part of the evening was playing CandyLand with Luey, it was his first board game ever! We had a great time playing...he won the first game, I won the second game! He loved it. And of course you can see Flop trying to get in on the action.
We put FLop in the kitchen for bed after we finished up...Flop had a great day!
...ON A SIDE NOTE, you may have noticed the goal is now $5,060 instead of $5,000. There was $60+ of interest (i rounded down). I imagine that this is going to be the amount each month, so I am going to be adding it to the total goal accordingly. I knew we'd be getting interest because of the credit card, I didn't realize it was going to be so much. We think we can afford about $200 month, but it is going to take a long while nonetheless.
I appreciate your understanding on this (and future adjustments)!
...His next doctor's appointment is in 4 days!

Please RESTEEM to help me beat the records! Hopefully we'll get some good votes (perhaps some WHALE votes) and even some more donations soon. We are now up to $82.72...as the Steem price grows and the site gets more awareness, I hope that I'll be able to turn my goal into a reality!

...even if your vote isn't worth anything (like mine), it will help me out because other people will see it and maybe it will TREND!!!
