HALLOWEEN TRICK NOT TREAT




It isn’t Halloween yet. But you now know that I received a cruel trick instead of a well-deserved treat. After being able to walk all by myself on newly mended front legs, I’ve been sidelined with a ligament tear in my right rear leg. The squirrels are much braver without me standing watch, but everyone else is sad about the latest obstacle in my short life.

Dr. MacKenzie says that surgery will put me back up on my feet with a life expectancy of 15 years old! He assured Mom that positive factors contributing to the success of my first surgery remain the same: I am young, healthy, able to withstand anesthesia, cooperative and a remarkable healer. So I am wishing-on-a-star for kind hearts to embrace me again like you did during my last journey. Dr. Mackenzie has offered a rescue dog discount of $1,050 (normally $1,400) to help the fundraising effort.

If you want to donate to my leg surgery fund, here’s how:
Click the Chip-In button on this posting to donate to my online fundraising drive.
Go to PayPal and make a donation gift to: paws2heart@bellsouth.net
Send a check in my name to: Open Arms Dog Rescue, P.O. Box 354471, Palm Coast, FL 32135

I posed for these photos in my Halloween bandanna so you could see my funky rear leg. Mom bribed me with some treats because she says I have had more than my share of tricks lately. Please share my story with animal lovers everywhere so we are able to raise the funds needed for my leg surgery. Thank you.

  4. Draco and Ruthie,
    It means a whole bunch to hear from my fur friends. I am doing fine and Mom is doting on me!

    Precious Tails,
    If there is anything Mom (and Open Arms) might do
    to help your rescue/foster fur babies, let us know. I know you are far away, but we could do a courtesy posting on our site, crosspost or advertise your special fundraising /raffle items. We truly believe that "what goes around, comes around". We all must stick together and be advocates for those who otherwise have no one.
    Luv ~ HoneyBear

  14. Hi to: IzZY, Josie, TriXie and Anakin Man (all Pugs?); 3 Doxies (names?); Precious Tails; Mr. Pip (breed?); Maggie Mae (breed?); Zona (breed?); Phantom and Thunder (breed?) and Ciara (and Mom is pretty sure she is a human Mom!) Whew!!!!
    Oh my! We all just finished watching an inspirational and emotional movie The Freedom Writers (triumph over adversity – but of the human kind not pups this time). Mom popped on the computer to sign out for the day and we saw ALL of your encouraging postings. Mom was still filled with movie emotion and started tearing up seeing how many kind people and fur friends care about me. I am typing the best I can with my strong front paws because Mom left the room to go get a tissue (smile). I wish I could see all of your photos. Any ideas how? I’ll let Mom know. **Now that your comments have finally posted, I do see some of your cute photos!)**
    Oops, I hear Dad in the treat jar and that means night-night so gotta run.
    Luv and Hugs ~ HoneyBear

  15. Hi Honey Bear! I read your comment above and wanted to ask you if you are able to click on our names like how it says HoneyBear said... you should be able to click on HoneyBear and go to you blog. That should work for anybody unless they don't have a blog. Does this make sense?
