THE MIDNIGHT "BLANKET DRAWING" IS COMING...MIDNIGHT IS GETTING HIS NEW XMAS HIP!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Midnight is now at the Vet's, and he is about to begin the hip replacement surgery.  I have "knots in my stomach" just thinking about this poor guy.  I do know that this is the first step toward a wonderful new life for him, and that's what I'm trying to focus on.  There's more good news today.....my blankets arrived, and the Doods and I LOVE them!  I think you all remember Michele (DK's Paul and Michele), so generously volunteered to donate one of her home made blankets for a raffle to raise the funds DRC needs to pay for Midnight's hip replacement.  When I saw a picture of the blankets she makes, I ordered one for each of my guys, and here's what arrived today...

And one for Murphy...

Here are the boys enjoying their new "blankies"...They can't stop "sniffing".  I think they smell pretty "girl Doodles" on the blankets (Michele's Molly and Bailee).

Murphy is not moving from this spot.  Life is good...cozy blankets that smell like "Doodle".

We are planning to do the drawing on Friday, and Daisy will be selecting the winner for her brother.  The drawing will be videotaped, and well be posting it along with the announcement on Doodle Kisses on Friday, so "stay tuned".  If anyone would still like to enter to win one of these awesome blankets, there's time.  Please go to this link (the original discussion) and use the Chip-In icon to make your donation of $25 or more and enter the raffle.

Again, on behalf of the DRC I must thank you all for your support of Midnight.  Because of all of you Midnight's XMAS wish is about to come true!  Michele, my personal thanks go out to you.  You're a wonderful friend to Midnight and DRC!  Good Luck in the drawing!

Guinness and Murphy, love those blankies and it sure looks like you guys love them too and gee you are so coordinated with the decor.

UPDATE:

Hi Everyone,

Midnight's surgery was postponed til tomorrow morning.

It looks as though he may have a skin irritation in the hip area where the surgery will be performed and they just wanted to shave him and examine the area just to be sure that it is just an "irritation" and not an infection.

Thanks for the update.

[Paul & Michele]

Good luck Midnight we will all keep our fingers and paws crossed for you. I am so glad that Murphy & Guinness likes their blankets...I love the pictures of them with their blankies...
