PLEASE HELP- Emergency situation

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

I will need to have spinal surgery in the next three weeks for lumbar discogenic disease. I live alone and as I recover from surgery will be bed ridden for a 60 day period. I will not be able to walk at all or care for my beloved baby boy Luigi. Luigi is a beautiful eleven month old labradoodle, completely housebroken obviously. I am desperate. As all of us are on here my doodle is the love of my life. I live in the Philadelphia suburbs area and need to know if anybody would be able to foster Luigi for a 2 month period. Any and all expenses would be covered of course. I am in tears as I type this because I have never spent even a day away from him but I need to think of his welfare and care above all else. I am praying that somebody who is in the club or who knows somebody that shares a love of doodles like me can care for him. Please respond. Thank you so much. I have many pictures of him posted in my profile.

Laura, I am so sorry you have to go through this, but it is wonderful to see the offers to help you out.  I live too far away or I would offer to help as well. Wishing you a fast recovery.

[Bonnie and Kona]

Laura, I hope and pray your surgery goes smoothly and the recovery process is much easier than you anticipate. It is such a joy to belong to DK and see how members care for one another and the doodles here. Thank you to all who have offered help.

Laura, I'm sorry to hear about your surgery. I live in Willingboro, NJ and can help you and Luigi, if you still need it.

I don't always see DK over the weekend but my email at home is [e-mail].  Let me know what's going on and what the plan is.  I'm sure it would be best for Luigi if he didn't need to be going from home to home (although it would just be more LOVE for him!) but as I said, I would be happy to help in any way or take him for part of the time.

[BG and Gavin]

I am thrilled that these wonderful humans have stepped up to help care for Luigi.  I truly hope that you also have someone to care for you.  Best thoughts.

Laura, I just saw this. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.  I don't think I'm that far from you. I'm not set up to foster long term at this time because I work and it wouldn't be fair to Luigi, in such a new situation, but I'm happy to help out in any way I can.  Happy to relieve Barbara, help transport him, bring him to see you, shop for supplies...whatever you need.  Prayers and hugs to you, and hoping you heal faster than they think so you can have your boy back.

We are just outside of DC, but I would be willing to drive up to help with Luigi. We have 2 dogs at home, and I'm sure they would love a friend

Laura, I am too far away to help physically, but I am sending prayers for an uncomplicated surgery and speedy recovery.

[Gail and Bailey]

Laura,  I am sending warm wishes and thoughts for an smooth surgery and an easy recovery!  Hugs to you and Luigi!

[Miss Ellie]
