I’m posting this for my Nephew / Thank you everyone .buddy survived the operation check out his post surgery pic on his fund me lpage.
He’s had a rough life that has taught him to be as self sufficient as possible. But his only companion a dog named Buddy is on death’s door and he doesn’t have the $ to fix him. If you so desire to contribute I assure you it’s on the up and up . And yes I contributed what I could . Thanks for your consideration.

“Hello! I wanted to share Buddy’s story with you. He’s a beloved dog who was recently attacked and now needs emergency surgery to survive.“

Jim, you can go ahead, but, man, you are supposed to clear fundraisers with me first.

You've been a member for a long time. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

You didn't know this, right?

Rather than go through that particular fund raising organization, I would prefer to send a check directly to your nephew (or the vet).

Please send me a mailing address via the email in my profile.

If anyone would prefer to send $ in some form other than go fund me. Email is in my bio and if you want to send it to me I’ll gladly give it to him. He is not computer savvy and had to go to a public library to ask how to do this . Go fund me wasn’t my idea.

Thanks Dzozer it is much appreciated! He is hoping to get the surgery done in the morning and pay off on time if possible. Up to the Vet

That’s a horrible thing to go through, I can read the anguish from Steve in the description.

Donated, hopefully by tomorrow there’s enough for the vet to start the surgery.

I'm with V-Tail. Send a name/mailing address to me via email, and I'll send a check. Include the words "Sig Forum" in the subject line so I pay attention to it.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Ditto, send to me via email and I'll have it back at ya same day. If you are willing, send me the expected total amount too. I don't mean to be crass, it's only money.

Whanson_wi couldn’t find your email in your bio. Sent messages to all others that asked. Be more than happy to get a email from you. Thanks to everyone that has already donated. I’m also not a go fund me type for these things so I do understand anyone’s reluctance to use it. But when you’re busted and a much loved Buddy enters the pic with a death notice it can make a difference. My email is in my bio if anyone wants an address to send to. Thanks again my friends. As always the Sigforum Members are true humanitarians who care, especially for the innocent. Even if the innocent are just a beloved animal.

Thank you everyone who donated. The go fund me amount is going to be enough for a new found Vet. So no more donations please . And if anyone was or did send a check in the mail stop, and if too late I will send it back. Thanks again after the surgery I’ll let you know how it went. Supposed to be a 50/50 deal !

Hoping for the best outcome. I didn’t realize Buddy is a small dog.

I have two mini poodles and when I walk them, I carry a walking stick, pepper spray, a knife, and a gun. The gun, of course, is to protect myself in case the predator charges at me. It’s against the law here to shoot at something to protect your dog.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
