Chopper reminds me of Benjie, from the movies, in this photo.

Angels, thank you so much for your generous donations. I know we are all very worried about Chopper. The vet says it appears that the loops of his intestines are caught inside on the right side hernia -- this can quickly lead to necrotic tissue which is very, very serious.

Chopper's surgery can be scheduled as soon as funds are available. Can we get Chopper to All Funds Raised soon?

If you can make a donation of any size, please go to http://tinyurl.com/79og6jd. Please note that your gift is for Chopper Alvarez. You can also use PayPal to donate by specifying [email protected] as the recipient. Don't forget to note that it's for Chopper.

No amount is too small -- every bit really does make a difference. Thank you for your kindness!

I tweeted about it ...

Thanks Karen. Your tweet must have been the one to get Chopper to All Funds Raised. I'm happy to report:

I am so happy to announce that Chopper Alvarez is at ALL FUNDS RAISED!!!!! Thank you so much Angels!!



IMOM talked to Chopper's vet a few minutes ago, and she is willing to take the $1,104 we have secured already for Chopper's surgery ($832 from IMOM (your donations!) and $272 from Chopper's Mom), and they can get Chopper in for surgery tomorrow!

This thread is moving to All Funds Raised - please follow up and check in on this adorable pup!

Thank you for all of your support - you are the BEST!!!

BTW ~ Dancing bananas is an icon IMOM uses when there is good news. In memory of a kitty named Teddy and her favorite toy.
