Yesterday was the best Leap Day ever…okay, it was my first Leap Day ever BUT I made my goal of raising $1800 for my prosthetic leg!! Mom was doing lots of crying, but happy crying she said. Yesterday morning mom was starting to stress out over the fact that they wanted to start everything NEXT Friday and how was she going to make all of this happen for me, she was unsure. Then later she goes to my blog and see’s 100% of my goal was met?!? I guess it threw her off for a few minutes, and then everyone in her office was crying and cheering!! She called dad up to give him the great news and I even gave dad one of my “woofs” when he told me! What a happy day. My mom wishes she could call up my breeder and say, “yea, he was garbage…he has more friends than you’ll ever have!” I was so happy last night when I curled into bed next to mom, tummy up and my soon to be four legs stretched out in the air. I had sweet dreams of running even faster, keeping up with my fur brothers & sisters when outback in the rock and maybe knocking Mazie upside the head when she growls at me for trying to chew on her ears. No, I’ll be nice I promise!
My first big day comes next Friday. Mom says something about “snip-snip” not sure what she means by that, but I’m thinking I might not like it. While I’m a sleep and dreaming Kate who is the rep for OrthoPets will come in and make a cast mold of my nub and then take some x-rays to see my bones inside. After a couple of weeks I’ll have my first test prosthetic!! That will help them see what kind of adjustments might need to be made for my permanent leg. I am so excited to start my new adventure!
Please don’t think that’s the end of my blog or Facebook page! Mom plans to help me keep updating along the way of our journey. We could have more expenses to come, so we plan on keeping my store open and we’ll have some other fun things going on. Any money that we don’t use we hope to donate to other dogs that need prosthetics like me.
