Spreading the word for a friend.. and venting..

[HeatherA]

 

Hello Ladies,

 

2011 has been keeping us busy -- new baby Nov 2010, someone hacked my paypal causing a lot of frustration and confusion, two back surgeries for me and a kidney infection, my best friend of 20 years lost her Dad to cancer at the young age of 57, my husbands Mom has been diagnosed with MS... *takes a deep breath*  Yea, it's been a busy time for us, 4 kids and our 2 dogs.   My puppies are desperately needing a good grooming - we had 2 weeks of snow and mud in Texas! and their coats look... embarrassing.  (oog!)

 

Anyhow.  I wanted to share this heartwarming story for a friend I've known since Highschool.  Her dog isn't a doodle -- she's a Pit Bull.  Jenny is active in the Pit Bull community campaigning for responsible ownership, adoption/rescue.. but her own beloved dog was diagnosed with Bone Marrow Lymphoma.  This amazing and loving Dog Mom hasn't given up.. she got a loan, applied to different charities for help, bought a website to share her story, she is even committed to running 5k's in a dog costume.  :)

 

Feel free to read her site and leave her some words of encouragement on her guestbook:

This is her press release:

(Please don't use this blog as a place to debate a Pitbulls right to live.  Please respect this is a Dog Mom fighting for a Dog she loves that has done no wrong.  She is a single lady and this dog is her companion, she's making huge sacrifices to see Sophie through this knowing it may only get them another 6 months.  Even if Pit Bulls aren't your thing, if you're here you can understand the irrational love a person can feel for their dog.)

 

I considered her story heart warming and wanted to share.  Give your dogs a nice long hug.
