A number of people have asked me for PayPal or other donation info for Zuzu's next surgery, which will be her 5th since June 2012. After 4 surgeries on her left, she has now completely blown her cruciate and patella on the right, requiring surgery. She had this same surgery on the left last June so I am familiar with the costs involved.
Her left leg has a temporary bar and pins on the exterior, holding the leg in a neutral position to prevent her from over using it. She needs to have it removed by end of April, preferably before.
We've run out of insurance money, which won't renew until end of May (IF they choose to renew us, which I suppose they may well not). Care credit is maxed out with costs insurance did not cover.
So as uncomfortable as I am with asking for money, I did set up a page where anyone who's interested can donate to PayPal. At the same time I applied to the NCA Emergency fund, so if by chance there's overage it will go right back to NCA for Newf rescue.

I am open to other ideas on how to raise money; I've listed some of our family antique furniture with a local consignment shop, cut our expenses to the minimum (no dates, no eating out, no new clothing, etc.), we're heating our house with scrounged firewood, and made some inquiries for contract work I can do in the evenings.
Thanks all for listening.
