Fur Baby Friday: Adventures of Newlyweds

Today I have a very special little pup for y'all to meet! Sweet Ashley is such a loving fur mama, and well, I'll let Ashley explain it :)

---------------------------------------

I am so excited to be guest posting for Fur Baby Friday! I am Ashley and I blog over at Adventures of Newlyweds. I love my babe just about as much as you CAN love an animal so I am so excited for you to meet her.

New friends, meet Bella.

Bella, friends...

Bella is 10 months old and the sweetest, cutest little yorkie poo you will ever meet.

I got her just before Easter of this year and she was a totally different color.

Look at my little peanut!

She was SO tiny.  Just 3 pounds...

We SWORE we wouldn't let a dog sleep in the bed with us,

but after 4 days, she found her way into bed and has been there ever since.

I honestly can't sleep without her now! She is my little cuddle bug.

A few months ago we started to notice that Bella was limping a little bit here and there.

As the weeks progressed it seemed to get worse and worse... 

Until finally one day she quit using the leg altogether.

She would touch it to the ground every once in a while but not bear any weight on it.

This was a problem, because not only does she have all of that puppy energy,

but she also LOVES to run like a crazy!

See?!

I took her to the vet and we found out that she had a problem with her knee cap.

Basically it was stuck popped out of place.

See, lots of yorkies and little dogs have the same problem.

It is a birth defect where their kneecap groove isn't deep enough.

Left  unattended the dog loses all mobility and develops painful arthritis.

The surgery to fix it?

$1,500.00 dollars.

I know.  A LOT.

I wanted to get her surgery ASAP but we didn't have the funds,

so I started an etsy shop.  I present to you

FETCH & CO.

I make handmade bracelets, necklaces, custom mugs, leashes and all kinds of treasures! 

So far, I have raised almost $800 towards her surgery.

She actually ended up having her surgery Tuesday, and is recovering at home right now.

I hope to raise the rest of the money for her surgery,

and THEN?  Well, I have had fun making things so, 

I think I am going to sponsor another pet after Bella!

Everyone needs help paying expensive bills these days, and I want to help

another pet who needs surgery to live a better life.  

I hope you all will check out the shop, and spread the word.

It is that time of year after all!

Thanks for meeting Bella and listening to her story!

Thanks again Julie!  You are awesome!

Ashley, I think it is amazing what you are doing! I know I would do anything to save my pets, and I LOVE that you are going to continue helping other pets in need! Such an amazing idea!
