And now, Chalupa

I have to tell you, right now, I'm just numb.  It seems all we can do is pick up dogs that desperately need very expensive surgery.  It is emotionally exhausting to try to figure out how we can take good care of these dogs.  It's worrisome that there are so many little, fluffy lap dogs that have been so abused and neglected that we have to help them.

We're still around $900 short on Mae's fund, several hundred short on Claude's fund and now we are staring at a possible bill of $4200 to fix Chalupa's horribly broken jaw.

Why do these dogs keep finding us?  I guess I know the answer to this question - because someone up there knows we have you, our wonderful supporters!!  And that we will work tirelessly to help them! 

So, I'm sitting here starting to type this up and I really don't even know how to begin.

You remember little Chalupa?  

He came to us from the Houston SPCA.  He was confiscated in yet another cruelty case and turned over to us so that we could fix him and find him a home!

We cleaned him up and found a wonderful, playful, simply adorable little boy.

We took him to Gulf Coast to see Dr. Beale and find out if his jaw was "fixable."

Yes, Dr. Beale said it could be fixed - the cost would be between $2800-$4200.  The upper limit is if they need to do a CT scan.

This weekend, while at Deogi, I noticed that Chalupa, the little guy with the broken jaw, has a little discharge draining out of his mouth.  I got this feeling of dread but looked anyway and yes, it looks like something is abcessing inside his mouth.  That means, oh my goodness, we have to accelerate his surgery!!

You have no idea how this depresses me.  I was hoping to delay his surgery until we got whole on Claude's and Mae's surgeries.  But, I now, I fear we will be forced to do the surgery quickly.  I really don't want to get in to an emergency situation!

We desperately, desperately need help with these little dogs.
