Save Buddy

So here's the story. We decide to adopt a dog from a DC animal shelter. A friend of mine had a good experience and all adoptions were 50% off for the summer. What could be better? Saving a dog . . . for half price! So we find a little dude that we like and are approved to take him home. I think the bad luck sets in when the shelter decides to neuter the dog (I'm sure the dog invoked some voodoo here). So here's how it goes down:

  1. Upon going to see the dog before neutering, my girlfriend is rear-ended . . . totalling the car.

  2. The dog was very playful when we brought it home, but had a slight sneeze. Within a day, the dog was so lethargic, it wouldn't move from its bed. We take the dog into the hospital, where it was diagnosed with pneumonia and pleural effussion. The dog remained in the hospital for a week.

This is where you come in. The hospital bill came to almost $2,900. As I'm unemployed and my girlfriend is a lowly post-doc with a 16 year old daughter, this bill is a little out of reach.

To show Buddy's appreciation, we'll send you an picture of him doing something cute. Thanks for your support!
