Bad News For Our New Baby

[ilovehounds]

Little Herc is in the doggie hospital
Sunday night he tried to jump up on the bed but didn't make it and fell down and busted his leg.

We got a call at 10 oclock at night from my brother asking if someone would come down to watch Emma so they could rush Hec to the vets. My mom and I went down, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Jen had Hec in her arms laying on his back (like you would hold a baby) and his front right paw was bent right back dangiling.

They had to leave him there the vet knocked him out and told them that she would Xray it and call them in the morning. They went to the vets first thing the next morning to see him amd the vet told them that the bone was broke right through and it was on an angel. It would take a steel rod on the outside of the leg with pins drilled in to fix it. The bill would be $825 .

They just had a baby, they just signed the lease to there new house and now this.. but even though they have NO money they couldn't let him go. We all plan on pulling together to get the money, and helping out anyway we can to help them save money, like baby sitting, alternate buying the baby supplies and I have even started my brothers website (he air brushes) to help him spread his business and get more orders.

We get to bring him home on Friday, he has to stay VERY quiet and his leg has to be kept VERY clean. We are going to help look after him.

Money is tight but in times like this we will pull together to help little Herc and find it somehow.

My prayers are with Herc for a safe operation and a quick recovery ....

Oh the poor thing! He's so tiny. Please give him hugs and kisses from me. Get well soon Herc.

OH the poor baby - I hope everything goes OK with his operation - being that he's so small he should make a good recovery. Give the little Herc a bundle of kisses & loves from me.

ilovehounds,

Would it be OK if I set a little contribution to Herc's recovery fund? I can oly send you $25.00 or so, but I am sure every little smount can help.

Please let me know.

[ilovehounds]

Souraya that is so very kind of you, its people like you who make this world a better place

But it would not be up to me to say yes, I would have to take that up with my brother, and he hates it as it is that he is taking for money from us. I pride thing I think

You are a wonderful person, and I thank you for your kind offer.

[Corinna]

Not to hurt your brothers pride but maybe you could let us know the vet hospitals name and location and we could sent it directly there. It allows his pride intact and lets us feel better, we use to do this at the vets we worked at and after the bill was paid any left went to help some one else who had the same situation.

[ilovehounds]

Oh gosh you are never going to believe me when I tell you this.... I think little Herc has a Doggie Angel Looking out for him.

I just got off the phone with my brother, he went over to visit Herc on his lunch break to see how he was doing, and the vet told him that your families donations have paid five hundred dollars off the vet bill, so all you need to pay is three hundred and twenty five, she told him to take his time they will set up a pay off program for the rest. So feeling happy he went back to work and ten min. later Jen pulled in all happy telling him that she has three hundred dollars for the vet bill. He was shocked but it turns out that ......

they had made a deal with their landlord (the one they are leaving) that if they found someone to move in to the place on the firts of November then they wouldn't have to pay the last month rent (firts and last months rent agreement) and he agreed.

Well anyway a young women who is having a baby wanted a bigger house and when she walked into the house and saw the babies room she fell in love with the place and is taking over the rent starting Nov. So the landlord will give them back their check for the last months rent.

Is that not to wierd to believe ??? Hercs been touched by an Angel

Chris wanted me to tell you this "Souraya you are a beautiful person, and I thank you very much for wanting to help us out, I wish you well and if you ever need help I hope in some way I can"


Wow I still can't believe how things just all of a sudden turned around for the best in a matter of two days

OMG! First, poor little Herc. What a tiny little one he is. I am SO relieved that the vet was able to repair and save his leg, and his life. And then, the happiest ending! You know, by this evening, everyone here would have answered the call to help your family and little Herc for sure. You ARE family!! But Herc does have a very special guardian angel. A little, teeny, weeny one sitting right on his shoulder!!! Get well soon, and heal soundly little man. You are so adorable and I'm so sad you had to suffer such a painful injury! We love you!

[purrley]

That is so very wonderful - that precious puppy should be just fine. I'm so happy all the financial stuff is out of the way - now everyone can completely concentrate on this little guys recovery (not that you wouldn't have anyway). God Bless

Angie, I just saw this post and am glad I was able to see the good news at the end. Please don't hesitate to ask us if any of your or your family's babies ever have off the wall medical bills again. I am sure many of us who are able would be more than happy to help.

I am SO glad everything has worked out and I hope the little Herc man is on the road to recovery. Give him a kiss from me

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Angie, I just got to this post and I couldn't believe what happened to little Herc and then sad because of the financial burden they had, then happy to hear what a wonderful family you all are. It warms the heart.
I was going to ask what kind of air brushing your brother did, maybe of dogs, people might be interested in buying some of his shirts to help out.
Please give the little guy a little hug and kiss from Daisy, Perry and me.
