Steemit Community Fundraiser: I need your upvote to help pay for my dog's surgery ($158.94 of $5,060.00 raised)
Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery and he is going to be ok, we got great news from the doctor on 1/31/18 during his most recent visit to his vet!!!
Unfortunately, these unexpected expenses have hit my family very hard and I am turning to the Steemit community in an effort to raise funds to pay for Flop's surgery. Every Upvote, Follow, Comment, and Resteem will help me out, and any straight donations would be straight up awesome!!! All of your kind words & support have been amazing so far and as you can see, it is growing by the day, so thank you so much!
...and remember, I am upvoting your comments now that my steem power is over 100.
Below 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 that are pictures of Floppy's scar from 1/20/18 & 2/1/18... it's healing so well!!!!
And I added a pic of FLop's scar from today 2/13. It looks more visible to me and I think it's because maybe his hair is growing back a bit!
...Amazing, right?!?!?! The Doctors really did a sensational job!
Again, I kindly ask that you follow me as well so you can continue to keep up on Flop's progress throughout the year, as well as the progress of my goal. Thank you all for your support, upvotes, follows, resteems, and donations so far. Progress is being made, slowly but surely, and my family is so appreciative!
DAY 44 UPDATE
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Flop had a wonderful day. He used to be the star of our Valentines day until Lucas came around. Vanessa would spoil him so much in the past. NOw he gets love, but not like he used to lol.
We started off the morning with our morning walk. It was kinda foggy out so I didn't take Luey with me even though he was asking. Vanessa got Luey a special Valentine's day cookie that he got to eat for breakfast while Flop and I were walking.
Can't tell if you can make out the fog or not...
After the walk, Flop got a special Valentine's day treat hat we got from our groomer. He loved it! I wanted to get a picture of it but Vanessa gave it to him before I got a chance to. It was in the shape of a bone and had a little heart on it - he ate it pretty quickly!
After he finished his treat we had a few minutes to spare so I gave Flop some attention. We have these big bunny slippers that he likes to play fetch with so I was doing that for a few minutes. Normally i do it across the room, but today I just did it on the carpet only as this was really the first time we've played fetch since the surgery. Even though he was only running 4 or 5 feet to get it, he still enjoyed it, you can tell. He didn't want us to leave!
I left work a little early today, around 430, so I could get home for our Valentine's day dinner. Unfortunately, Flop was not getting much time with us this evening. Since Luey didn't go on the morning walk, I let him come with and walk him on the evening walk. He's all decked out in red for Valentine's day! It was a nice walk and Lu is really getting comfortable holding Flop tight on the leash and realizing he's stronger than him and can tug him.
The DeMars men trying to get a Valentine's day selfie on the walk:
After the walk we went inside and Flop got 2 beggin strips (an extra for Valentine's day) and we went for dinner. When we got home Flop was waiting at the door for us...it's nice he isn't gated in the kitchen anymore, and we haven't caught him on the couch at all since we made the change.
It's been almost 2 months since his surgery and he isn't really showing any signs of limping or pain or anything like that, which is great news. Every day he keeps getting better. I doubt he'll ever be his old self, but it really looks like this surgery is going to add many years to his life!
Luey's first ever dentist appointment is tomorrow at 8AM so we get to sleep in a little bit...Flop better not have an accident lol.
Thank you for reading about Floppy and his day, he is feeling great and is super happy!!!
