Okay guys.. I’ve never done this before. Please bear with me.

This is our family dog, Arnold! As you can probably tell, he is a pit-mix. While he has had a few health issues over the past few years, we have struggled through it with him - from tumors, to hernias, to arthritis, and then some - but today things really went from bad to worse. Arnie is suffering from paralysis of the larynx, and it’s going to require some emergency surgery, the price-tag of which is between $5,000 and $6,000.

We don’t have that kind of money… but I’m willing to work for it. I love this dog. He doesn’t even live with me, but let me reiterate, I love this dog. Our whole family LOVES this dog. He’s on the older side - or, well, WE THINK, due to the fact he was adopted out of a rescue program, we aren’t 100% sure how old he is, although those cataracts of his are tellin’ a tale - but he has a few good years left in him, and I’m not going to give them up without a fight.

We have to make the decision by TOMORROW, May 11th, if we are going to be able to pay for this. Apparently a payment plan is negotiable, but this is still a LOT of money as far as our family funds go. We are riddled with health issues on the human side of things, too, so our usual buffer for pet bills just isn’t gonna cut a few thousand bucks.

I have set up a little crowd-funding thing here, as the elegantly titled Save Arnie-Ru! There are more specifics to read about if you want to click it and check it out. If you show me a screen-cap of your receipt page, you can e-mail it to me, message me, whatever you prefer, I will draw you somethin’. It’s just that easy. Donate a buck? GET A SKETCH. Donate more? I mean, hey, it’s negotiable. I’ll see what I can do! And I will do my best. I will take requests! Let me know when you send me your receipt if you had something in mind and I’ll try to be flexible.

[ ETA: The wonderful and super-skilled gunkiss and asieybarbie AND vexxiboo are also offering sketches for donators! Send me the receipt and your request, and I will pass along whatever you send to me, to them, as well. I thank all of them SO MUCH and encourage you to not miss out on an opportunity to scoop up some genuine ART.

Also, if you can send your receipt to the amazing kilomonster - another STELLAR artist here on the tumbles, she will do up a digital sketch! You can find more info on that, here! ]

I am also putting up a DONATION BUTTON on the front of my blog, which I have never done, before. If you want to send me a note through that saying what you would like, I can e-mail you the picture through whatever is listed on your PayPal.

I think that’s about it, although I am sure I am forgetting something. I feel pretty scrambled. This is a tough thing to do, in very little time - especially when you haven’t had to do it, before! REBLOGS ARE VERY APPRECIATED, thank you so much in advance for your consideration!

If there is indeed anyone reading this dusty little Interblog, still — this little guy needs your help! He belongs to an impossibly lovely family who adores him, and is from every impression a big sweetheart!

Okay! UPDATE! An update I will soon be adding to the official GiveForward campaign above, at that!

We met with the surgeon this morning. He says the procedure is typically wildly successful, with the only risk being an increased susceptibility to pneumonia. So, here it is:

Wednesday. He will be getting the surgery on Wednesday. We’re goin’ for it. We’ve got our estimate, and if we can raise $5,700 we’ll be completely in the clear.

What do we have, at present? With the PayPal donations and GiveForward combined… Drumroll please…

$2,112 has been raised so far!

That’s pretty amazing!! When I started this, I really didn’t know what would happen. Maybe a couple hundred, you know? At least something to put towards it since I am dead broke. But this is beyond my expectations. You’ve already helped so much, so thank you all, sincerely!

But, if you have a chance, and can give this one more reblog… maybe just pass it around to a friend… Facebook it… twitter it… keep spreading the good word like you’ve already been doing, we are in the home stretch! I’ll have to empty the GiveForward account on Wednesday morning so I can transfer it to my sister’s account, and anything and everything helps.

So, let me thank you all, again. Your donations, your support, it has helped me through a really dark time, and given me hope that our family dog is going to get another chance. Thank you for any future encouragement you can offer, whether it be a reblog, or a buck! All the info is above.

I feel kind of bad for talking the LEAST about my dog’s own condition, but…for those of you who haven’t seen me talk much about Arnold’s situation, here’s this reblog..! I haven’t been alerted to any emergencies, so he is probably still in a stable condition, but I am getting to drive out and visit him today for a bit before work.

We could still use the extra donations to help pay off the cost of all his vet bills, and he will be going in for the operation tomorrow! I should continue to have good news about it. Thank you all very much for the support and spreading of the word.

One last go, here. The surgery is today. After that, I’ll be emptying the fund, and officially getting back to everyone who wanted a sketch!

I appreciate everyone who took the time to reblog, donate, or just keep Arnold in their thoughts. I’ll update everyone on how things go with the procedure, but I won’t be buggin’ you with this particular post, again.
