Steemit Community Fundraiser: Please Upvote to Help My Dog ($199.58 of $5,120.00 raised)

in #steemit7 years ago

Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery now and he should be ok!

Unfortunately, these unexpected expenses have hit my family very hard and I am turning to the Steemit community in an effort to raise funds to pay for Flop's surgery. Every Upvote, Follow, Comment, and Resteem will help me out, and any straight donations would be straight up awesome!!! All of your kind words & support have been amazing so far and as you can see, it is growing by the day, so thank you so much!

...and remember, I am upvoting all your comments now!

Below are pictures of Floppy's scar from right after the surgery, January 20th, February 1st, February 13th, and February 27th... it's healing so well!!!!




...The Doctors really did an amazing job!

Again, I kindly ask that you follow me as well so you can continue to keep up on Flop's progress throughout the year, as well as the progress of my goal. Thank you all for your support, upvotes, follows, resteems, and donations so far. Progress is being made, slowly but surely, and my family is so appreciative!


DAY 70 UPDATE

Hey everyone, thanks for checking in with Flop's blog today. He had a great day!

Here are some pics from our morning walk...


...you may notice 2 things. First, it was a bit brighter out. Second, I was dressed up. I had a meeting with an attorney at 10 so I got to sleep in a bit, and that's why it was brighter.

SHAMELESS BUSINESS PLUG: I don't know if I've shared this previously, I am a digital marketing consultant. I help small and medium sized business owners with their digital marketing strategy on Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc. The company I work for is ReachLocal, check out our site, www.ReachLocal.com...

Flop peed in addition to the poop you see, we went inside and he got some mini biscuits today. Vanessa had already taken Lu to school so I headed out to my meeting.

Vanessa was working late this evening. I got off work at 430 to get my haircut, picked up Lu around 6 and we got home shortly after. I got Lu a snack and put on WWE wrestling for him (he loves it!) and took Flop for his evening walk. Here are a few pics...

Flop doing a brisk walk/jog

Flop coming up to a weird stick that at first he was a bit scared/suspicious of, but then started smelling

Flop getting ready to take his evening dump (pre-dump lol)

Flop seeing a dog (although this is one he kinda likes, dont know his name though)

Came inside and made Lu his dinner, Flop got a few bites of his chicken nuggets. Went upstairs to get Lu ready for bed, left Flop downstairs.

Vanessa brought me home a burger when she got home late, but Flop didnt get any. Brought him up to bed with us again, he's doing great upstairs so far!

...I'm realizing that Flop's days are pretty routine, there isn't always a lot to write about but i hope at the very least you are enjoying the daily pictures too! Thanks again for reading about Flop's recovery and supporting our cause!
