Pup needs surgery: Please vote for Jazzie!

[Rhiannon12866]

I just received this request from my little dog's "pup pal" on Dogster.com and knew that I could depend on my fellow DU animal lovers to help out. This precious little dog requires surgery and the money she'll win if she gets the most votes will help pay for it... Please vote for Jazzie and pass this one on... It will just take a minute to help save a puppy. Just click on the link and vote. :-)

Many thanks from Rhiannon & Jack :hug:

Everybody this dog needs our votes more than Jenna does. As much as I could use the money...this dog needs surgery and the money would go to help pay for the surgery. I know I'd beg, borrow and steal to get the money to save Jenna's life. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully the time to vote for her.

Love you all Donna and Jenna

1. Done.

I hope she gets the money she needs for the surgery and that she is quickly back in puppy mode.

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Thank you so much, Venus, for your vote and the kind words...

My little Jack required surgery when I first adopted him, was the reason he landed in rescue, so he has a personal stake in this... :yourock:

Jack:loveya:

[VenusRising]

11. Jack is a little cutie!

Give him a puppy treat from me! :loveya:

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Thanks, I'll do that!

Though he just chewed the "do not remove" label from my comforter, so I may wait a little while... *sigh* It's fortunate for him that he's as cute as he is, LOL.;)

[VenusRising]

15. I feel the same way about my cat.

Cute and fuzzy saves him again. :P

[Rhiannon12866]

20. I know!!! They were obviously made very cute for a reason! I am also cat-sitter

for nuxvomica's two kittens, Tom and Huck, little orange brothers... And with two, like the dogs, they like to double-team you! Huck, the one in the foreground, gets into everything, but he always makes me laugh...:loveya:

[livetohike]

2. Done

I hope everything works out okay :-).

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Thank you, my friend, from both me and Jack...

He required surgery when I first adopted him, but is now lively and healthy, and wishes the same happy outcome for this little puppy...:hug:

Jack:loveya:

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Done!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Thank you!!!

And your little pup is such a cutie and so like Jazzie!:loveya:

Rhiannon and Jack:hi:

Jack :-)

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. She is a Yorkie same as Jazzie. Difference is that Sammy's ears are floppy. I am partial too

Terriers and your Jack is a handsome guy! :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Thanks so much and I love terriers, too.

Have had four in my life.:loveya: And Sammy is just the cutest thing! I love Yorkies, too, but my dogs find me, one Cairn, one sweet little terrier mix and my two Brussels Griffons, Meneken and Jack, who are in my sig. And Jack has pointy ears, while Meneken's are floppy...:D :hi:

[flvegan]

7. Done.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Thank you, fivegan, from my rescue puppy and me!

Rhiannon and Jack:hi:

[hisownpetard]

8. Done.

Good luck!

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Thanks so much, hisownpetard, for your vote and good wishes!!!

From both me and Jack.:hi:

Jack:loveya:

[hisownpetard]

16. Ah, what a little doll!

I have four dogs, one of whom had major surgery this past year.
I'm rooting for you both!

[Rhiannon12866]

27. Thanks, but I wouldn't go that far, LOL... Just kidding.

Jack is adorable, but I call him my little "devil dog," since he still gets into everything... He's the second dog that I've adopted who required surgery right away. :-( He was a "pet shop dog" who landed in rescue, couldn't be sold because he wasn't "perfect." *sigh* He had a hernia which was easily repaired when he was neutered, not that it slowed him down, LOL.:D

My Sara, who was found as a stray, had a growth in her mouth and on her back, and required two big surgeries over the years, which were, fortunately, successful...:-) I lost her in 2006, after fighting the good fight... But she was perfect from day one.:loveya:

So this is the reason that I sympathize with little Jazzie, and you do, as well. It's very scary. Thanks so much for your kind words. Your guys were very fortunate when they found you...:hug:

Here's my favorite pic of Sara, just after grooming. Needless to say, the ribbons didn't last long, but at least I managed to get a pic of her right after she came home... :D

My Sara:loveya:

[RebelOne]

9. Done.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Thanks, RebelOne!

My puppy, Jack, and I sure appreciate it!:hug:

Rhiannon & Jack...:hi:

[LibertyLover]

17. Done

and happy to do it. She was the cutest pup.

[Rhiannon12866]

22. Thanks, LibertyLover, and I agree!!!

She's adorable and may well win, anyway, but I thought that the stakes were high enough that I wanted to help out any way that I could. Of course, my little Jack isn't in the contest, LOL... ;)

Jack:loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

19. Done.

:hi: :hug:

[Rhiannon12866]

28. Thank you, my friend! I knew that I could depend on you... :-)

It's been awhile... Hope that all is well with you! I haven't been on DU all that much since I managed to burn my foot quite badly while making soup over a month ago, made Christmas dinner while on crutches, but am supposed to keep it elevated since it hurts like hell when I don't. *sigh* I'm also on serious pain meds, so I guess that it's not a bad thing that I'm not posting much, LOL.:D It's always something with me... *sigh*:eyes:

Thanks for voting for this cute little dog in need. Jack and I both appreciate it. Jack had surgery when I first adopted him, was the reason that he landed in rescue. He's doing just great and we both are wishing the same happy outcome for little Jazzie... :-)

Here's Jack on Al's boat this summer, with Al's huge Airedale, Charlie, who is Jack's best buddy... Thanks again!:hi:

21. i love easy. and dogs.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. Thank you so much for taking the time, anyway!

Both my little dog, Jack, and I appreciate your compassion. :-) We're keeping our fingers (and dog toes) crossed that Jazzie wins and has successful surgery just as Jack did when I first adopted him... :thumbsup:

Rhiannon & Jack:yourock:

My dog, Jack:loveya:

[xchrom]

31. as the former owner of dogs -- both found pups --

who needed medical help in their time and got it -- i want jazzie to have the very best life possible.

[Rhiannon12866]

32. I agree and can identify.

Two of my dogs, both from rescue, required surgery when I adopted them. My sweet little Sara, found as a stray, had growths removed from her mouth and her back, and Jack was considered "imperfect" because he had a small hernia which was easily repaired when he was neutered... They both were just fine after that. :-)


Sara:loveya:

[Lady Freedom]

23. 5*

from 7 new pups!

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Thanks so much to the puppies...

And kudos to you. I only have one puppy and have my hands full... *sigh*:D

My puppy, Jack:loveya:

[texanwitch]

24. Done.

What a cute little dog.

Glad to help.

[Rhiannon12866]

35. Thanks very much, and she is very cute.

My little pup, Jack, who also required surgery when I adopted him is pulling for Jazzie...:-)

Jack:loveya:

[SallyMander]

25. Done

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Thanks so much, SM, and the best to your very fortunate pets!

From Rhiannon and little Jack...:hi:

[China_cat]

26. Tell her also to check out IMOM

http://imom.org

They help animals in need and maybe there won't be any need to bank on winning a contest.

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Excellent suggestion! Thank you!

I'll pass this on to Jenna's mom, who sent me this message...:yourock:

Rhiannon and Jackie:hi:

[Cooley Hurd]

29. Kicking for Jazzie...

:kick:

[Rhiannon12866]

41. Thanks, Al!

From me and Jackiepup...:hug:

[SPKrazy]

36. done

I think

:shrug:

I clicked on the stars and gave Jazzie 5 stars

is that the answer?

:hug:

[Rhiannon12866]

42. Thanks, my friend, and I was confused too...

But that's what I did and assumed that my fellow DUers would know what to do, LOL. And we must have done the right thing because Jazzie now has well over 400 votes and an average of four stars, up from 250 and 3.something when I posted this. Thanks so much for your help!:hi:

Rhi and Jack...:hug:

[Blue-Jay]

38. Certainly!

I'm not usually a vote-for-my-pet (baby, band, photograph, whatever) kind of guy, but this is for a worthy cause. I hope your pet gets the surgery she needs and continues to bring you joy for as long as possible.

[Rhiannon12866]

45. Thank you so much, Blue-Jay!

But this isn't my dog. Jazzie belongs to a friend of a friend, who passed this on to me. But my little Jack also required surgery when I first adopted him, was the reason that he landed in rescue. *sigh* So I identify and sympathize with Jazzie and her predicament...;(

Here's my pup, Jack, also in my sig...:loveya:

[stuntcat]

40. here's hoping!

5 stars! :D

[Rhiannon12866]

46. Thanks so much, stuntcat! We're getting there, thanks to all of you!

Keeping our fingers (and toes) crossed, as well, that Jazzie gets the help she needs...:thumbsup:

Rhiannon and Jack:hug:

Jack:loveya:
