[Reachoutrescue]

Do you have an organization address for people that don't have a paypal account?

We are based out of our home, but I can PM you my address if you would like. Thank you so much for the donation...every little bit helps like you said. I am glad Carly will be getting her surgery as well. She is a beautiful girl!! I am so happy you are caring for her. Good luck with her!! I know she will thrive in your care! Thank you again.

The doctor said Butch needs to get both lower lids done. He set the appointment for January 9th. The Dr. wants to do x-rays on his hip and knee while Butch is sleeping for the surgery. He said that his knee feels like it is dislocating every time he twists his leg. He said it is not painful as it is just more uncomfortable and that he should be okay until January. He told me to give him maximum strength asprin twice a day with food. He feels he will need surgery to correct his knee problem but wants to be sure it is not Hip Dysplasia. He also told me to just use Vaseline for his eyes to comfort them. He also gave me a name of a topical ointment to use on him, an artificial tear ointment. We will try the Vaseline first, as he recommended, then move to the ointment if needs be.

We are still only at about $200 in donations (after the $75.00 from today's visit). We know it is the holiday season and things are really tight for everybody, but we really need help with this. Butch is not our only dog needing surgery. We just found out today that one of our other dogs, Sandy, a pittie mix) will have to have surgery to remove a growth on her paw. I may end up having to use some of the boys' Christmas money....but I am hoping we can raise enough to avoid doing that. Can you guys please pass our ChipIn link around?
