My Aunt, who runs The Vermilion County Animal Shelter Foundation, got a call from a guy that said he found a Pit Bull puppy injured and laying in an alley. We got her to the vet and she has a broken elbow...Ouch...I know! So it requires surgery and will cost 2000 bucks. We got a second opinion from another doc that is way less expensive. He cannot do the surgery, apparently it takes a specialist for this kind of injury. She is sheduled for surgery in the morning, 3-16-11. I went to get her and let her stay with me at work for the afternoon today, since she will have to be at the hospital all night. She is the most prescious little girl I have ever seen....and remember Lanee Bug is my dog...hehe so that means she is super awesome prescious!! I have already raised 800 dollars to help pay for her surgery, I have some very special friends and family. I have spent all of 4 hours with her and I know I am going to cry like a baby when I have to drop her off at the vet. We have an excellent foster home set up for her and she will be going there as soon as she is out of surgery and ready to go home. When I brought her into the dealership, there was a customer sitting on the couch waiting while her car got serviced. She immediately fell in love with Macey.....me and my girlfriend named her....It turns out that this lady had to put her 13 year old German Shepard to sleep about a month ago. She was beside herself over Macey and all but begged me to let her adopt the sweet little girl. I am hoping that once she recovers she will have her forever home....and I will be able to keep tabs on her. I just wanted to share this story will of my fellow pibble lovers....she is just so sweet and prescious....I want to take her home with me. I only have an hour left with her in my care and I am already sad that she has to leave me. Wish her the best!!
I look forward to learning much here
