Toojoh

So, its been a while again, but I have a perfectly valid excuse: it has been an incredibly busy, hectic, and emotional couple of weeks. In the last couple of weeks we have had a meet and greet with VOMD's and my parents in North Bay, and house sat for my mother in Magnetawan; on top of that I've written about 20 pages of my thesis and edited like crazy, we've chosen wedding bands, we've visited VOMD's parents to talk about wedding decorations and other wedding related plans, and most importantly we've decided to adopt a dog who needs regular medical care.

Toojoh is a 10 year old dog who is probably, and I do not exaggerate, the sweetest dog every born! He's been dealing with food allergies, a skin condition and lots of other nagging issues for about 2 years, and this past weekend he was diagnosed with renal failure. He is my mother's dog and she loves him very much and has given him all the care she can, but now he has to see a specialist and so VOMD and I are taking him home with us to Hamilton so he can see a specialist at the University of Guelph's veterinary college.

We've set up a Go Fund Me campaign to raise funds for his care. His first vet visit cost $600 and his specialist is going to cost at least that much. With the medicine he will need, his specially formulated diet, and his future regular vet visits, getting him healthy, and keeping him happy and comfortable for the next couple years is going to cost us. It is worth it, obviously, but we are hoping that some generous, dog-loving folks will send some generosity our way to help with his medical fees.

If you would like to help out you can visit his campaign page at https://www.gofundme.com/Toojoh

Happy Monday, everyone!
