Help save a dog's life LIF

REPORTED.

But seriously, I completely see your point and its a valid one. It took alot for me to even post the LIF and essentially ask the BA community to be generous in good faith. Ultimately I decided to swallow my pride for a friend and his dog and give up bottles that I valued.

Back to the LIF, I'm changing it yet again. Someone has generously decided to donate a box for a 4th winner. So now, if this hits $750, I will raffle off the 3rd box containing a Madness & Civilization 2. If it hits $1000 there will be a 4th winner that will get a box with some surprise bottles.

I won't reveal the BA (yet), since idk if he wishes to remain anonymous. But the donation is deeply appreciated. We're currently at $610 in donations. A little more to go to raffle off a 3rd and 4th box

 

Got a few more donations over the weekend. I wanna send some more boxes out, we're really close to the next goal so I can send 3 boxes out to people.

 

Someone has just donated a 5th box if the donations hit $1200. They want to stay completely anonymous. But the box will contain
Lawson's Fayston Maple Imperial Stout
HF Clara
and
Westy 12.

 

Alright! We're over $750. So I'm sending all 3 boxes that I originally planned to send. There's still 2 more boxes up for grabs at $1000 and $1200.

I'll do the raffle next week on Monday or Tuesday and have boxes out either that week or the following Monday depending on the heat and how far the winners live from me. Thank you to everyone who's donated so far.

A quick update on the dog for everyone, this weekend was tough because of California's shitty heat. I went over yesterday around 7PM and it was still in the mid 90's. she walked outside to pee, completely supervised and in about 4 minutes she started overheating and panting which made her airways constrict and made her breathe harder, which is what she can't do with a paralyzed larynx. We had to sedate her and cool her down with towels and keep an eye on her, but she ended up fine. The vet said once her throats a little more healed from the intubation of last week they can set up a surgery date, which will likely be in 2-3 weeks. But other than her being restricted to literally seconds outside or else risking overheating, she's back to her old form, or she thinks she is at least. Jumping and running again, just nowhere near the same rate.

 

Quick update: another box has been generously donated by jconrick1 if we hit $1000.

It will contain:
2013 Commons Madrone
Logsdon Oak Aged Bretta
Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio - Bottled 9/13/2011
Cascade Elderberry
2010 Boulevard Rye on Rye
2010 Bourbon County Coffee Stout

The generosity of the community has left me in awe and theres no way I can begin to repay everyone. We're currently $190 short of the $1000 target and 2 more boxes.

Have a safe holiday everyone.

Cheers

 

4th of July update, since I got an update last night. Apparently the small spell of over heating set her back a bit. Had a hard time walking and peeing last night which sucks because I saw her before that and she was improving quite a bit. Vet keeps saying surgery needs to wait until her throat is healed from the irritation of the intubation to do the surgery since they need to go in through the side of the neck and pull back the cartilage. Gonna be sedated most of today due to the fireworks, so hopefully no excitement there. I gave him the money from the donations for the surgery and he was in shock. He knew I was doing this and was amazed when I told him there was a little over $200. Now it's far surpassed that and he couldn't believe that people on the Internet would care enough about a strangers dog to donate for a surgery.

 

And we're officially over the $1000 mark. I can't even say enough right now to express the gratitude.

There's one more box if we hit $1200 total over the weekend.

Raffle will be Tuesday morning or Monday night then uploaded to YouTube. Thank you all for your donations so far

 

Just bumping this for the last 2 days. Closing it tomorrow at 8PM when I'm off work. Doing the raffle that night and video will be up Tuesday.

 

Last day today. Closing this up tonight. Thanks again to everyone who donated.
