I need money, immediately. Seriously. GOOD UPDATE!!!!

**Cinder & Smoke** · 10-16-2006, 05:09 PM

What the he......
Didn't I just see an UPdate to this from Johanna ...
WHERE'd that post go?
Something about money NOT needed - Boss was going to set her up on payroll deduction ...
?? I KNOW I read that ...

*Cancel that question* ~ DUMM Me!

I "read" the E-mail Alert - and didn't refresh the PT PAGE ...

So the Pom Phund does NOT need an influx of cash at the moment ...
but keep the offers in mind.

Back to the poor DOG ... IS she ever going to be able to Financially Care For
the pup???

Maybe this is the time to find the Pup a Financially Stable home?

Just a Thought

Hmmm.....I don't have an update as to the sir jury, that was to go on this morning. I will update you when I do.

As for the comments about finding the puppy a new home, well, the young lady has expressed no desire to re-home the pup. I don't even know her. I haven't ever spoken to her on the phone. My "job" as I saw it, was to raise cash to make the sir jury a possibility. I will leave the rehoming issue to those that actually know her. Her boss told me he had a sit down with her, to try to impress upon her the financial irresponsibility of the situation, and how she could let a puppy suffer because she was so irresponsible. He has told me she has 'no one' counsel her. So, as an employer, he has stepped in, to the extent he feels appropriate, and only because he has advanced her money.

Thanks!

I hope the puppy's surgery goes well.

Poor pup

I hope the surgery goes well and the owner gets wiser.

Any chance someone thought of calling AC??

**shais_mom** · 10-17-2006, 02:31 PM

wow - Kudos to you Jo and Kudos to the boss for stepping up and telling her to get a clue. I shudder to think what kind of condition her kid is in!
thoughts and prayers on the way for the sweet little Pm

**pitc9** · 10-18-2006, 08:57 AM

I hope the surgery goes well and I hope and pray that the pups owner find a wonderful home for him/her where he/she will always be taken care of.
Thanks for the updates!

**zoomer** · 10-18-2006, 09:03 AM

I'm glad she finally got to get the surgerey! I cannot believe her owner let her sit with a broken leg for 4 days

That makes me sick. I'd like to know how the poor little puppy is doing though...

Calling the AC wasn't even in my mind. My focus was on the puppy, and the immediate concern.

I will update you when I have some news.

thanks!

This is the email I received this morning:

Johanna,

I just wanted to thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness, it really ment alot to us. I also wanted to give you an update on my puppy, she is doing fine
( thank God) they said to keep her calm because if she does alot of running and/or even just being on it it will not heal properly. They gave her pain medicine for the pain other than that I have to take her back in 4 weeks to be sure that everything is fine. I will give you a update on that also. I have faith that it will be.

Again, thank you and I'm going to do everything I can to get paid back as soon as possible. I really thank God for good hearted people like you!

Thank You,

(Name Deleted)

My response:

(Name Deleted),
You are welcome. I only wanted to help your puppy. And, I will add, because I just can't help myself: when we take on pets or kids, we **must** have their welfare in mind. They can't speak, and count on us to do the best we can by them. I know this isn't always a simple task. I have 7 cats and a toddler, and I am a full time working single mom. So, life isn't always easy for me, either. When I think of your puppy being in pain for 4 days, because of your financial situation, it makes me cry. And, I don't even know you or your puppy! So, don't think badly of me for stating this, as I mean it really only as a caution for future events. I was happy to help, and, understand you will pay me back over time. I would really like to know how the puppy is doing. I have about ten people asking me about her already!

Fondly,

**Catty1** · 10-18-2006, 11:05 AM

Great - and please let her know about imom.org too!

HUGS to you, her and her puppy!

**shais_mom** · 10-18-2006, 12:03 PM

while I certainly don't think she needs a dog (and I doubt a child too but that's beside the point) I have to give her credit that she contacted you in a mature, grateful way.
I thought you were diplomatic and to the point. Kudos and hugs all around!

**lwds** · 10-18-2006, 04:51 PM

Nice e-mail, and you seem to have a huge heart to help, but I still urge you to give AC a call and offer to find a rescue willing to take him in OR at least to talk to her. I posted the link with rescue contacts and will leave it at that.
