Most of us here on this group and others know Tara Radford or have at least heard of her... She is the crazy blonde who never shys away from ANYONE and has about the biggest heart I have EVER seen. I think she is a little crazy...but that's another story all together :-) What I am writing about is helping her.... She recently had to rush Buddy Rico to the vet for emergency care. As soon as they opened him up they found cancer, and Peritonitis.... a lot of it. They spent some time with him before helping him cross over. She has had too many others at the ER vet this year also and it has drained everything out of them. I am going to be sending money to Tara to help her out with her vet bill. I am offering to collect all of the money that people wish to donate and send it to her all at once on Monday, October 27, 2003. I have a PayPal account set up [log in to unmask] You can also mail me your donation: Joanne Ruffner 289 Patton Street Huachuca City, AZ 85616 Or you can just send a donation to the vet: The Pet Doctor 11419 Bridgeport Way SW Lakewood, WA 98499-3006 Account: Tara Radford Low on cash? Then send a dollar or two or three or whatever you can afford. Trust me it all adds up in the end. This woman gives so much to us and NEVER asks for anything. She is going to be mad at me as it is for trying to do this... Lets show her our support. And Tara... you just hush! I am sending you this whether you like it or not! I am MUCH MORE stubborn than you.. and if you don't believe me ask my ex-husband! LOL Just because you have a louder mouth doesn't mean anything... I am much more of a nag! hee hee Thank you in advance for any help you can give to her.
