The Help My Dog (Floppy) Challenge: Day 23- $54.83 of $5,000.00 - 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 share will help me out, and any straight donations would be wonderful!
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 yesterday, 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 22 UPDATE
Floppy spent most of the day today in his cage as we had a lot of errands and activities going on throughout the day.
...you'd think that we might be able to sleep in a bit on the weekends, but Lucas wakes up at 6AM on the dot every day, or so it seems! So after Lu and I went downstairs and I got him situated with Breakfast and a tv show for him to watch, I turned my attention to Floppy.
As usual, his day started off with a walk so he could go to the bathroom and build his muscles. We were still a bit mad at him for pooping last night in the house, but we werent going to belabor it lol. I got Floppy out from his cage and walked him for about 7 minutes or so and brought him back inside so he could eat a little and get some more water.

...for some reason the bathroom pictures have become a bit more common throughout these blog post, I hope you all don't mind!
Vanessa and I went to the gym, and when we got back, we spent a couple of hours relaxing. Floppy got a bit more couch time with Vanessa. I took two pics, one with flash and one without and thought it was pretty cool:

We left for about an hour for a community event - we were part of a large group that was shot from a drone to celebrate our town's 20th anniversary. It was pretty neat; I don't have any of the pics yet but if I can get one I'd like to share it with you all.
We got back, played with Flop a bit, took him for his afternoon walk, and then back to his cage. Lucas and I got tickets to go see MONSTER JAM in Orlando. Since the rest of Floppy's day was pretty uneventful (especially compared to yesterday), I decided I'd share a few pics from the Monster Jam experience, I hope you all enjoy!
Lucas and his cousin Sebastian had a really fun time!!!! They were both well behaved and really thought the cars were super awesome (although a little loud). I'd definitely suggest bringing headphones if you ever plan to go see a Monster Jam live. It was our first time, and I'd definitely recommend seeing it once if you ever have the chance!
We left Monster Jam around 930PM, got home around 10PM and I took Floppy for his night time walk. He got a couple of extra treats because he was alone for most of the day. But he seems to be in great spirits once again and I hope he has a great night of rest!

Thanks so much @mikeycolon! You are so right! It may seem silly and all, but Floppy has been such an important part of our family for the past 7 years, I don't even remember what it was like not having him in our family. Thanks again for taking time to read and comment.
Not crazy at all! I remember saying before I got Chooky "it's just a dog - when I want to go out, I'll just go out."
But that's so far from the truth. I'm always thinking of her and Gizmo when I'm not home. I can't tell you how much we've spent throughout the years on doggy daycare so they can be happy and play with other dogs.
Upvoted and Resteemed. Even though the my upvote is not much hope that Floppy has a quick recovery. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much @apprentice001, every single vote helps me out!!!
Long live Floppy!
