Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery and should be ok!!!
Unfortunately, this unexpected expense has hit my family hard and I am turning to the Steemit in an attempt to raise funds to pay for this surgery. Every upvote, comment, and share will help me out, and any straight donations would be wonderful!
Thank you all for your support, votes, resteems, and donations so far. Progress is being made, slowly but surely and my family is so appreciative!
DAY 17 UPDATE
Floppy had a great day! Vanessa and I were at work from 7am - 5pm. He got a quick walk in the morning with a couple of treats and some time out of his cage to eat some of his bowl food and get some water before we left. He seemed really happy and energetic, it seems like he got a great night of sleep.
Vanessa got off of work a bit early so she was able to take Floppy for a walk slightly before 5. For some reason, he will only go pee when she takes him for a walk, he won't go poo with her, it's very odd. So when I got home, Luey and I took Floppy for another walk so he could go poo. When it's cold out, I don't usually like to take Lu with me on the walks, but I decided to take him today and let him hold Flop.
I taught Lucas to hold Floppy with 2 hands because we don't want him getting loose and running on to the street.
...you can see how Floppy is pulling Lucas along! :) They are best friends and it's very sweet how they interact with each other. It's also great to see Floppy walking along great and gaining his energy each and every day!
And of course, what would a walk be without the token picture of Floppy taking a poop!
Vanessa made an awesome Chicken Pesto Pasta for dinner. We decided to let Floppy stay out of his cage during dinner again and he didn't cry as much tonight. He knows he gets more food if he stays quiet and if he cries he doesnt get as much (if any). He usaully ends up with something though because we love him so much and cant say no to him.
...even if he's a begger!!!
After dinner, we played on the rug with Flop for a few minutes, gave him a relaxing belly rub, and put him in his cage.
Goodnight sweet Floppy, feel better and we'll see you tomorrow!

Thank you all for the votes and comments on yesterdays posts (12 votes, $0.13); it was another slow day, I hope it's not a trend, but all of your kindness is slowly & surely helping me make progress...please, please, please continue your support!!! 25 Votes is the single highest day vote total!!!
We are now up to $48.19...as the Steem price grows and the site gets more awareness, I hope that I'll be able to turn my goal into a reality! The Crypto market went down big time today, so I'm hoping it rebounds...if not, I just have to work extra harder to help Flop out!
Thank you all again and as always, I appreciate your help!!! If you have any ideas on how I can get this in front of more people, or more people with larger voting power, let me know...any assistance I can get to help my dog is so greatly appreciated!!!
