Helping Jonny Walker

[Karen]

I do believe they have raised all of the money needed for the down payment of $2500!!!
I happen to know this because my friend (as I stated earlier, the one who has the cat, G, that I watched) donated the remaining amount when she got through tonight. She is awesome!!!

That would be great, I'll call them tomorrow morning and confirm if I can get through! And of course, they will still have to pay the rest of the bill, but hopefully this will mean the surgery can get underway.

Right, but we got the down payment out of the way. So any more donations that come in will go toward the remaining amount.

Give your friend a hug from me!

Thank you captin, I just wanted you to know even with a time differance this is a 24hr Animal Hospital if you call and you get their recording it tells you to press 1 for an emergency and someone will take your call and your information. Trish understood that this may happen at times and she said they would be prepaired for this. God Bless You

WOW! This is absolutely the most amazing thing In the WORLD!!! I am making the card to take tomorrow with the comments of good wishes, thoughts and prayers I have collected here in this thread.. Whoever this person is, do you think she would mind if I just added her as Anonymous Angel? She deserves a place on that card after a donation like that!

To everyone else, I have went through this entire thread and written down your comments of prayers, thoughts, well wishes, love ect and put your screen name here under the brief comment and as Karen suggested your location so they can see how far this has went so far. I still want to add several comments that have been posted since I wrote them all down and add this wonderful anonymous angel if Taz gives the go ahead.. Then I can finish it up and hopefully post it for everyone to see..Print it out and have it ready to go in the morning..

I SO want to meet JW tomorrow but if he is in surgery, I will not complain one bit... I will be happy for him to be getting the care he needs, maybe I will get to meet him some other time.

Laura, my friend saw your post and said she would love for you to add her to the card. Her name is Brandi and she is in Delaware.

Thank you so much for doing this for us, Laura. We really appreciate it!

Laura, please add my prayers and love to Jonny!

Dear Jonny Walker
Once upon a time someone abandoned you
And you came upon a good place to call home
Your sweet hound eyes, and soft floppy ears
Match the gentleness of your demeanor
And three families adopted you or you them
Making friends and better neighbors of them all
Then it happened,
Your newfound happiness and sweetness
Betrayed you as the small humans
(We are ashamed they are our species)
Hurt you so badly.
But because of the love you have brought them
Your people reached out
And you have been in our prayers and thoughts,
All around this big world
And we will all be asking angels to guide
The surgeon's sure hands
As he does the work that helps you
On the road to recovery
Back to health and free from pain again.
Stay strong, dear heart, and know we love you
Even if we, strangers once, have never been thumped
By your wagging tail.

I got this e-mail from Trish and wanted to share with everyong here.


Hey Kev,

I am still at work but getting ready to go. Just before I planned to leave a few minutes ago, I checked my voice mail and had three messages. I returned these calls and just now, at 8:19 pm, I got one donation for $900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got another one for $25 with the same person giving another $50 on Friday when he gets paid.

We now have collected a total of $2525 in the last 24-48 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just emailed Dr. Kergosien. Surgery will be tomorrow. I had to send this to you before I walk out to update you. Please let Kelly know for me and Jason as well. I am so happy for you. Had to share the great news.

Trish

But lets keep in mind there will still be cost involved for his aftercare. So we still need donations. God Bless each and everyone of you.

Got you too Catty!

OMG! LES big time! PT is amazing. Thank you Karen for cross posting this as I never come over to the Dog side. This merits EVERYONE on PT knowing about it...heck everyone in the WORLD to know it. The power of love on PT is amazing. It's the only thing that keeps me from wanting to inflict the same damage to that so called "child". He's in for a very dark life. I get paid tomorrow and will call with a donation.
Laura, who rocks? That would be YOU! Thanks so much for "representing"! You are all that is good and kind in the world. Kisses for JW from me. God bless you all!

Cindy - I am totally blown away by the generosity of your friend Brandi. I wish I knew where in Delaware she lives - I would personally visit her and give her the biggest hug anyone could imagine. What a wonderful person she is to do this.

Laura - your part in this is amazing also - to take time out to go see Jonny - or at least go to the clinic to deliver all the well wishes in person. Amazing!

I don't believe that I've ever seen such a response as this, in the time that I have been a PT member. I am so proud to be part of this community of wonderful, caring and compassionate people. As promised, I will also make a donation when I receive my August check.

We're all pulling for you Jonny. Get better soon, and know that people from all over the world are in your corner and praying for a full recovery. Gentle {{{hugs}}} from the crew here in Delaware.........

Hey Kev and Jason,

This is absolutely amazing! People from around the world have responded. Every time I turn on the computer, there is another post. It brings tears to my eyes, along with a huge smile on my face. I will be sending in some more money today as I got paid. I cannot wait for JW to get home. I am keeping copies of all of the responses, and making up a scrapbook for keepsake. The cards are so cute. To all PT'rs, Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center Staff, WE LOVE YOU!!!
