This community has been such a blessing for my family and I. I wanted to take a minute and just THANK each and every one of you for banding together to help a community member in need. Our dog Roxi needed a $1200 surgery to remove a blockage in her stomach. Without that surgery we were having to consider letting her go to either another family, or letting her go from this world. Both were inconceivable to us, and we put together a fund raiser. We had the money raised in full within 2 days, plus a bit extra which came in handy for her medications.

I cannot put into words properly how deeply I appreciate your generosity. I look forward to returning the favor to another member in need when my family's situation improves.

I will update the "My heart is heavy" thread with pictures of the ball from Roxi's stomach. Yes, you read that right. A Ball. In its entirety.
