Helping Jonny Walker

[Laura's Babies]

OK folks! I SWEAR!! SWEAR! SWEAR! I had been checking this every day, outraged at what had happened to this dog and it really haunted me and I did NOT know Kev68 was MY Kevlin (former Dusty's People here) (Guess that is why I never connected the dots).. I SWEAR, it was ONLY after he saw my post there on this thread did he call me on the phone and said he had seen my post? " I said something like "Huh? What are you doing there looking at that?".. I think he got a big kick out of my utter shock that this was HIS thread...

You ask how they knew to come here... There was another occasion with 2 cats Lucky & Louie (His neighbors cats)... Lucky was extremely sick so I posted and asked what could be wrong with this cat. His owners had just thrown him out to die and didn't care!.. That was on a Sunday and I left to go to work that Wednesday thinking nothing more of it... PT'ers took that challenge on and donations poured in for him.. He was very, very sick and in the hospital a very long time... He eventually got well and 2 PT'ers adopted them and they were flown to their new forever home with Catfamily.. (Lucky did die about 3 years later but he had the life of a king in his new home) <short version of the story

So, I am not surprised that Kevlin turned where he knew would get help.. THIS amazing place. I was STUNNED to find out HE is the witness and shared owner of the dog.. I can't tell you how much that phone call from him blew me away yesterday with all the information.. I even know one of the kids (that did this) Dad, known him since he was a small child and use to date his Dad. (One of the baseball bat kids Grandad)

Anyway, all I needed to know was I had someone to take me to see JW so I took full advantage of it. Kevlin is the one who arranged for me to go see JM, but AS A PT'er... that is ALL the clinic knew... I am a PT'er. I didn't tell her until we were about ready to leave and I had done my PT bragging, story telling of the wonderful things I have seen happen here, told a few things about some of the people on the card (you guys).. Told a few SBR stories and last, I told her I was Kevlin's mother..

Seeing Johnny is heartbreaking, just thinking what he has been through. I gave him hugs, pats and kisses as instructed. He looked like he was just so tired until he spotted the little girl that is one of his "kids" that we took with us and his tail started wagging, his eyes perked up and he had to walk to her, over and over. In between, he would just have to lay down and rest. Before I left, he was coming to me wagging his tail, wanting me to pet him which was a honor!!

I told him all about you guys, the outpouring of love he has from you, how everyone was pitching in to help him get well and praying for him, sending good thoughts to him and that he was now an official PT doggie! (Thank God my son is like I am so he didn't think I was nuts telling a dog all that!)

I can't tell you how impressed I was with the humans there! Trish, I teased and told her she is Johnny's secretary now.. She laughed and corrected me, saying "I am his Executive Assistant!". How does she have time to do anything else? While we were there, the phone rang a lot and several times I heard the girl tell her "She's not in but you can leave her a message..... Yes, we are still taking donations"... So there are more donations coming in today. We got there waaaay to early and had to wait for Trish to arrive. All I can tell you is she is just the greatest person I have met in a long, long time.. Everybody there was great. The doctor came in and explained everything, spending a lot of time with us making sure we understood what he was planning to do, explained the best case and worst case senerio.

I got LOTS of pictures and a rather long video but that video is giving me fits to upload at Photobucket... gonna have to work on that. Shucks! Until then..
MEET TRISH!


The amazing doctor who is doing the surgery

Here is is with his little human that did his heart so much good to see..




Here you can see how is nose was broken and it is turned up a little.


There is even a open spot on the top of his snout... From the hit?


Then he saw that sofa with his little human on it and he wanted up there...

[Laura's Babies]

He is just a sweet soul that loves his little humans, I can't wait till he is all better and I get to see him healthy, well and normal.. As GOOD as he was today, he had to be suffering but he was SO happy to see his little human..




Now, I got to go do the video and see if I can get it upoaded somewhere to post!

Like everybody else here, this story is almost more than I can believe!!! How awesome is this that Laura and Kev are Mom and Son? Who knew?? Laura you done good with that boy.

Thanks so much for going there and getting pictures of Jonny Angel. He is such a sweetheart. I can't stop crying after seeing him looking at the card. Great pictures of him but so so so sad.

I'm thrilled he is out of surgery and doing well so far. YAY!!!!!

In my wildest dreams I could never imagine being so close to all of the happenings in a story like this. This has got to be one of the best days of our Pet Talk lives. THANKS TO LAURA, KEV AND EVERYBODY!!!!!

GET WELL JONNY!!!! YOU WILL BE SO SPOILED WHEN YOU GO HOME!!
