I'd like to share a little tale (tail!) with you. Donny and Diane are an engaged couple who visit the park as often as they can with Madison, their dog. She's a sort of chocolate lab mutt, so very pretty and full of life and energy and Donny and Diane and a close friend of theirs fill this little girls life with love and affection every moment that they can.
Unfortunately her life hasn't always been like this. Madison was brutally abused and on the day Donna met her, she was scheduled for termination the very next day by her owners. Donny was delivering Chinese food to them when he saw her and fell in love with her beautiful (but pleading for help) eyes. The owners had let their children ride around on her, kicking her when she tired and they beat her so badly that eventually the severed a nerve in her back and her back legs became paralyzed. They bring her to the park and she is so happy, she tries to run but it's such hard work for her and her front legs are becoming weaker and damaged because of all the strain. On top of this, she has arthritis and the regular medication she has to take every day takes up most of their spare cash.
She is only 4 and should have a long and happy life ahead of her. I spoke to Donny yesterday as they held her up by her tail so she could try to walk around the park and asked him if he had considered pet wheels. He has looked into it but they will cost from around $450 up to $550 and being on a low income has meant that poor Madison has been denied this simple and yet life changing apparatus.
I would like to make an appeal to everyone on your email list to help me in acquiring a 'set of wheels' for Madison. 50 people with 10 bucks or 100 people with 5 bucks... whatever, every dollar counts. I am donating $50 to start this ball rolling and I have already been promised donations by friends here at the park and at Dog Wood too.
Would you please consider forwarding this on to everyone and if they would like to donate towards the wheels then that would be great.
I have attached a photo of Madison from the park yesterday evening.
The websites for the wheels (if anyone would like to look) is....

http://www.eddieswheels.com/html/pricing.html
There may also be the opportunity to buy a used cart for slightly less... I'm still looking into this.
I'm at the park every day so people are welcome to donate to me when they see me with Kody or they can call my cell (887 5836) to arrange a donation.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Rob and Kody (and Bella!)
