3:30 can’t get here soon enough!
Great news! Sol gets to come home today! Our appointment to pick her up is at 3:30PM this afternoon. They said through the night she ate, drank and peed! There was no doubt in my mind that she would eat. She is a pug after all. They also said that she slept, but she was also a little whiny during the night. The girl does not like to be in crates at the vet! She would much prefer a little dog bed in the corner somewhere.
The main reason we can't pick her up until 3:30PM is that we are waiting for a delivery of liquid medicine to arrive. It should be delivered in the early afternoon, so they scheduled our pickup for the evening. After I get her home, which could take awhile since it is Bike Week and there is a race at the track this weekend, I will be sure to post an update.
I had no intention of doing this, but I have received several emails and requests from pug lovers asking for my PayPal email address so they can make a donation towards Sol's surgery. First, this just blows me away. Your generosity and support for Sol has been more than anyone could even imagine and we are so very lucky to have friends like you. The reasons I wasn't going to post anything is because, um, the economy sucks and I am always asking you guys to support a pug cause. I'm sure I will ask again in the future so I try really hard to pick and choose wisely and not to be the girl that is always asking you to donate, donate, donate. However, I know what it is like to want to help and decided to post my PayPal address for those of you that emailed and commented and want to make a donation to Sol's surgery. Please don't feel obligated to make a donation. Right now, we are on the hook for $3,500 for the surgery alone, so every penny will help a tremendous amount, but the last thing I want to do is put the burden on your shoulders. No matter what we will get through this. So after that very long winded explanation, here is my PayPal address: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I will definitely have a big update on Monday letting you know how Sol is doing. I will be very happy to see that little girl, home, sleeping in her puff ball bed.
Update: I have been getting a lot of questions on how to use my email address to send a contribution to Sol. If you have a PayPal acount you can login and then click the Send Money tab. For the recipient, you would enter my email address, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) To make things easier though, here is a button that will allow you to make a contribution to Sol.
