Hi everyone- Donna I am in agreement 100%! I have asked Melanie for her address and plan to send her a little something to help pay for Tommie's surgery. I know times are tough for everyone but if we could all pull together we can help Tommie get well. Maybe you have some change in the bottom of your purse or under the cushions of your couch that you can send to Melanie. Every penny counts. The vet may be willing to do the surgery if she has a decent down payment on the cost. I have had tough times in my life. God always sent help, sometimes through friends, sometimes through strangers. You all know what I mean. Perhaps you have experienced this too. This is an opportunity to pass along that help to someone in need right now. Thanks for listening and blessings to all.
