Who is able to help Naomi? (Nomilyn)

Hi guys!

I promise to get a running total of what the clinic has received so far sometime today. I would prefer to go in and get a print out, but if that isn't possible I will call. Once the cheques start coming in, I will also keep a running total of those. It will be much easier to keep the total AFTER I've received the cheques and cashed them; that way you can learn the Canadian amount donated and how it relates to the Canadian goal.. does that make any sense? LOL :) I hope so.

I agree - you should all know how much has been raised, and once I know, I will give you frequent updates. :)

Thank you all - you are all the best!!

Naomi

I just now came accross this. Who should I mail the check to? Please let me know so that I can get it in the check today.

Bassett is in my thoughts!

I just called the clinic and gave them my credit card info. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to Bassett, Nathan and you -and some scritchies for Tilly and Nutmeg:) :D

You can do it by credit card easily just by calling the Animal Critical Care hospital, and saying you'd like to donate to the account for Bassett Anderson. You'll probably talk to Sharon, and she'll understand! Credit card is easiest, or you can mail a check if you prefer that, to the clinic or to Nomilyn, PM me if you want the address.

The phone number of the
Animal Critical Care Group: 604-473-4882
They are open Pacific Standard time from 8am to 8 pm.

I've just spoken to Sharon at the surgery, she really is lovely isn't she? She is taking the time to talk to everyone and this must be giving them a lot of extra work. I'm sure Bassett is in good hands!

and all because I would think of something someone here said on this thread. It gives me goose bumps and get me all teary eyed just thinking about the wonderful thoughts, words and deeds that are being performed right here before our very eyes. This is no less than a miracle and I am PROUD to be a part of it.
(It renews my faith in the human race) :D

You're so right Jen - this benefits everyone doesn't it? Not just Nomi and Bassett.

He he, this is fun! I just rang Sharon, but she was on the phone, and Candace said, "Can Sharon call you back?" I said sure, but I'm in Australia so maybe she doesn't want to do that ;) She didn't miss a beat and there's a little something more to help Bassett and Naomi out :)

Same here

I can't wait to hear, how much has been raised for Bassett :D

Just for those that are as interested in numbers, I attempted to count all the people that posted on this thread that would be making a donation and including myself came up with 52 names.

WE ARE PET TALK !!! :D

To cover Bassett operation costing $4750 (Can dollers)

If the 52 people (on average) donated:-

$91 (Can Dollers)
OR
$67 (USA Dollers)
OR
£40 (UK Pounds)

We would reach $4750 goal.

Fingers crossed. :D

Fingers crossed here too:D I'm pretty sure that the amount is high.
I'm still praying!:)

I cannot do the math...but, are you saying if the 52 people Jen has counted donate the 'average', we will have the FULL amount? Good NESS that would be so HUGE!!!!:D

I didn`t ask for Sharon, was I supposed to? Anyway, no matter, I spoke to Diane and she seemed nice, worked fast too!:D

Oh, Chris, I don't think so. Sharon works in the money department, that's all. Maybe with all the calls, they are recruiting the reception desk, too!

Dad phoned in an talked ta Miz Saron...
He figgered she'd talk Canadian, Ay? an mite not
unnerstand Ohio BArk, but we thunk she did jest Fine! :rolleyes:

:D

RICHARD PM'd me with a great idea, and even though I told him I would wait to hear back from him before I jumped right in, (patience is not my strong suit), I thought I'd bring up the idea.
His proposal was to compile a list of thank you's and comments from those who donated money and send them to the clinic to thank Sharon and all the others involved for all the extra time and trouble they have obviously needed to go through due to the large unexpected amount of phone calls and etc.
I'd love to recruit a volunteer to accept the PM's, and I think the THANK YOU's should be in a PM because each person may want to add their real name and not publicize it. I will also be glad to do my share of the work, but when it comes to printing something "fancy" out, I am not your expert at all.

Maybe we could draft RICHARD ;)

Just like jenluckenbach said, I also get goosebumps and teary eyed reading everyones post.
It is such a great thing that everyone is doing and I too am so proud to be able to contribute in helping Naomi and her precious Bassett.

I just can't wait for the day when I read...........

WE'VE DONE IT!

Oh the tears will be a flowing big time.

Oh that sounds like a great idea. If I had a printer, I would gladly do it. But if there is anything else I can do to help I would gladly do it.

A thought...Kayanne and some of the others are out of school, and really pretty dern talented with the computer...maybe we could recruit one of them? I think some of the younger ones would like to help out, in a non financial way, so, they might be better suited for some of the stuff???

Hi guys -

I called the clinic at 6:30pm, but the general reception was closed :confused: :confused: I thought they were open later. So, I will call tomorrow.. I promise!

Jen - thank you for counting out for me. As people let me know they have donated, I have sent them a thank you right away, and then cleaned out my PM box. I have not even been keeping track of how many people have donated and what the amounts have been (some people haven't given a specific amount, just a "little something" ;))

When I go to the hospital, I will try to get a print out so I can let you know what the average donation has been.. would that be ok? I don't know if I can do that, but I will try. There should be a record somewhere in my account that shows each payment.

Nathan came up with a really neat idea.. if for some reason there is "leftovers" after the surgery, he suggested we have a PT emergency fund. The money could be held by someone, and when there is an emergency or serious problem for another member, we might be able to have a fund to help them out? What do you all think? I guess it would be Karen's call. Anyway, just a thought. Another thing I thought was if there was leftover money, I could donate to a cat rescue fund or something.. I want the money to go to cats in need, just like Bassett :)

Thank you all so much! You are all amazing :)

Naomi

I personally really like the idea of a PT emergency fund. Because all of the pets here are like our own, we grow to love all of the PT pets so if this situation ever happened again it would be nice if we had a little fund.

Naomi, the PT Emergency Fund is a brilliant idea! But let's get Bassett better first!!! ;)

PT Emergency Fund is a great idea.

Those who can afford it could donate £1/$1 a month and the fund would grow monthly untill it was needed. :D

I just now noticed that the "powers that be" put this thread at the top.:D More tears for the eyes.


thanks Paul :)

Now why didn't we ask for this earlier? :D

Ah well, it is in it's rightful place now!

STILL WAITING to hear from Bastet's Mum about clubbing together ... has she been online? Otherwise I'm going to have to ask the bank next door to work REALLY nicely for moolah exchange or something!

I called the vet's clinic yesterday and made my donation but talked to the recepcionist, not that nice lady, Sharon. Well. I suppose it saved me the "crying" bit that so many of you went through...
The "thank you" idea is great, as well as the one establishing an emergency fund for sick pets.

whatever I can do.

maybe we could break up the PM gathering, editing and printing......spread it out, so everyone can
have a hand in it...the kids on vacation/talent
sounds great....

i have no talent....

i can tie my shoes, does that count?

Me and YellowLabLover are in too - I called today and talked to Diane. (I had to make 4 tries to get through.....probably getting a lot of calls from PT'ers! ;) :D )

Hang in there, Bassett - help is on the way!

I called the vet's office yesterday and talked with Sharon. You are right, she is almost enough to make the tears start...

Thank you Cinder and Smoke for covering the "Duckz" bet...forever indebted!

(GO DUCKS.....yeah, south for the summer!)

And it was both of you that gave CatsinDenver and
I the idea to 'sponsor' kids for Bassett's fund.

NO parking lot sleeping for Bassett!!!

It looks like we are going to be canadian baseball
fans for a while, now if we can figure out if the runs scored during the game are worth MORE in Canadian exchange rates!?!?!?!?!;)

Thanks again and give your dad a big wet one!!


richard

Ok, I'm going to the vet today at around 2pm.. I will post an update tonight.. (I know you are thinking.. SUUURE.. we've all heard that before) but I really will :)

Hi!

I went in today and met Sharon. She is such a great person! She is so pleased to be a part of this. She said it's the first time she has ever dealt with a donation thing like this, and she is completely touched :)

I also got our total so far. Keep in mind, this is JUST the credit card donations. I have not yet picked up any cheques or any wire transfers. So far, Bassett has....



Are you ready??? ;)




$1206.36!!!!!!!




Isn't that amazing? I am so heartwarmed by all of the help Bassett has received. We are almost halfway to the deposit. THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!! :D :D

Wow, that is so great Naomi!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

I know not everyone can send a whole lot, but look how quickly its adding up!!! That's so cool!

Sharon was such a sweetie when I called yesterday. Is all this causing her a ton of work?

's wonderful! 's marvelous:D :D :D

:eek: :D My hope was for half of the deposit, but now knowing we are there ALREADY and the "paper" donations are not even totaled yet....................:)

I'm speachless....................:D

YEAH !

:DITTYBITTY KITTY DOES A SILLY DANCE ........WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

****

I haven't heard from Bastet's Mum yet, so I'm going to have to send a cheque or a money order or somethin' ... this means that I will have to figure it out with the bank! Let them do the hard yards!

So I'm going to have to apologise if my donation is a bit late :(

Unless I can enlist the help of another Aussie with a credit card ... or whatever!

Can someone send me Naomis postal address?

WOW! This is just amazing! This is great Naomi! Make sure Bassett knows how much everyone here is wishing her a safe recovery!

I would love to help, I will be calling the office as soon as I get off. Aren't PTer's just the best people in the world:D
This thread just makes me all teary eyed!
I hope this surgery works for Bassett-"GO BASSETT!!"
