Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery and should be ok!!!
Unfortunately, this unexpected expense has hit my family hard and I am turning to the Steemit in an attempt to raise funds to pay for this surgery.
Every upvote, comment, and share will help me out, and any straight donations would be wonderful!
I really want to apologize, I haven't been posting as many pictures as I should be. Here are a few updates, look at how great his scar is healing!
DAY 13 UPDATE
Floppy had a nice relaxing day in his crate. I made sure he got a bunch of water in the morning because we didn't want to leave his bowl in the cage with him again. We had Wendy's for dinner and Floppers was extra whiny for some of my Baconator lol. He did great on both of his walks and you can tell his strength is growing :)
As I mentioned yesterday, we're also now in Tampa! We just got here about 30 minutes ago. Vanessa is a school principal and one of her teachers won an award for Florida Music Educator of the Year; she is attending the conference so Lucas, Floppy and I are tagging along. We'll be here until Saturday morning. It was about an hour and a half drive, Flop was in the crate and was a good boy during the ride. I hope he was able to get some sleep!
Unfortunately, as soon as we got him out of the cage in the hotel room, he decided to pee on the floor!!! :(
Vanessa is leaving for her conference around 7AM, so Lucas and I will be exploring Tampa together. Perhaps we'll bring Floppy with us if he is feeling up to it. I know we'll get a nice walk in at least with some new scenery so that should be cool. I'll try to make sure I get some pics, I don't know if I've included many pics of Luey (Lucas) in the blog yet, you are in for a treat!!!!
