Update on our little warrior princess Nugget aka Frankepuppy aka Resilient One aka Cutest Girl EVER.

Second surgery went good. Can definitely see the difference already, although my poor girl looks like Frankenpup. But she's a feisty little trooper and it seems nothing is going to hold her back.

Pray for our little girl. Unfortunately, she had to go in for another surgery to repair the other side. I'm so upset. She's so itty bitty and two surgeries in three days scares me to death. Along with the costs that we have to try to keep covering. Thank you all so much for having stuck with us trying to help us help these babies.

Last few weeks have bene really exhausting and hard, between Boris and now Nugget and a few other things. I really wanted to share something that happened today and some thoughts.

Being a rescuer has so many facets to it. There's the constant heartbreak of what we see and deal with every day, there's the continued worry that if you don't help this one or that one, what is going to happen to them, the grueling decisions that span from "Can I save this one?" to "Where will I find the money for this?" and "How can I let them die because of money?" to "Is this the right home for them?" because if you make a mistake and they get hurt, it's on you forever. There's dealing with the loss of ones you lose for various reasons, even if they've been adopted for years and you share in their end with their family, right down to one of the parts you shouldn't have to deal with but makes rescue so much more difficult than it already is, the Karens of the new world, the blamers, the I didn't get my way people, the keyboard warriors that are out to judge everything rather than actually help themselves, who know nothing about how much of our own lives we give up, spend years not really living because we're too busy trying to save them, which is a full-time plus double overtime job, and then you have to have a real job to help pay for it all. Every day I want to give up, because I want to live again, I'm mentally and physically worn out, but then I get the calls and I can't seem to help myself but to want to help, because every day there are less people helping them and more people giving up on them.

THEN SOMETIMES, someone steps in and reminds you that there are people whose lives you've touched. Who make it all worth it by giving that pup you rescued from a terrible situation a life they never would have had. Thank you to all our adopters who do that. You make our day just a little brighter and the reward that much sweeter. Thank you, Gabi, for the message you sent today. It really helped. So funny I was just talking about sweet Dallas (fka Soda Pup). THIS RIGHT HERE

Okay, Village, I'm a bit worried about my little Nugget. We are going back in tomorrow to get her checked out. Hoping it looks worse than it is, but today looks worse than yesterday and not taking chances.

Gonna take a leap here and ask if everyone, even those who were already so generous, can send only $1 to $5 each. We are still short almost 500 for the surgery alone. I believe that if enough people can and they also ask people they know to even donate $1 or any small amount, it will add up and we can raise what we need. If 500 people send $1 or 250 people send $2 or 100 people send $5 (you get the idea), we can make it happen. Even if seems like a small amount, it all counts.

Just so you know what you're looking at in the pics: Nugget arrived with two lumps, one on each side. Both believed to be hernias from a dog bite. She was also believed to have an inguinal hernia and a broken femur.

Through x-rays we determined she does not have a fracture to the femur (thankfully). During surgery doc did the major repairs to the very large herniation she had on her left side. He felt that the intestines being out caused it to look like an inguinal hernia, and he didn't feel a hole on the right through palpation and made a decision not to go in to try a repair on that side, hoping it is just a swollen mammary glands from all the inflammation and infection. That side seems to have doubled and I'm still hoping it's just inflammation, as she's eating and drinking and acting happy, but I'm not convinced, so we go back tomorrow. Not sure if further tests will be needed but will definitely need to have the first surgery paid off first. I know I've asked quite a bit lately (sorry) but this little girl needs us.

Someone is feeling better today. The swelling is still terrible but I'm hoping that's all it is. Doc said there was a golfball sized hole in her muscle and her intestines were out. He said she was probably in agony when it first happened. But this little girl is a spitfire and is happy like nothing ever happened.
Thank you to all the donors. We are still 500 short and have to get it paid by Tuesday. If anyone who was considering donating and can or if you have, please c continue to share. Our vet takes care of us and I would like to take care of him back.

Sorry for all the similar shots but every one is adorable and I couldn't choose lol

Little Nugget is due to go in first her first surgery tomorrow morning. So please please continue to share her story (link in the comments.)

Precious girl is resting in her puppy tent on her comfy donated puppy bed, thanks to our wonderful BBAR alum volunteer Aprl Boghossian for getting us some great donors who gave blankets, towels and much more.

Monetary donations can be made to our Venmo (Pic in comments) or Paypal ([email protected])
Our vet may accept donations directly, just pm me for the info. I'll check with him tomorrow and put on post.

It's worse than I even feared. So she was bitten, and it didn't just happen like the person said, it's been at least four or five days. There was hardening under the skin, Dr. Quick was worried about a puncture to the bowel. And the fact it was on both sides was odd. He took X-rays, but it was hard to discern and so we sent them off for review by a radiologist. Not only is there an issue with two sections of the intestines with loops around the bowel, but thankfully they caught a view of the right femur and it's FRACTURED ALL THE WAY INTO THE GROWTH PLATE.
Time is of the essence on surgeries, as we don't know if it is and don't want it to call bowel strangulation and/or cutting off blood supply. Doc said to talk to the orthopedic surgeon about whether it makes more sense to try to find someone who can do both procedures at once or to do it in two separate procedures. I have a call and email into my orthopedic surgeon Dr. Hedrick in Newtown Vet Specialists for a consult. He's amazing. He was in surgery, but I know he'll get back to me asap.

I was not prepared for something like this so quickly after Boris but sadly rescue doesn't work that way, and I was not turning her down upon arrival. She is a darling little girl who deserves a chance at a longer happier life.

I know it's really soon, and I know a lot of you have already donated (which is so appreciated, especially by Boris) but if you can't donate, please please share. We are small, and this is one thing after the other lately, and a lot of vets are getting astronomical with prices.

We aren't sure yet what the estimates for the surgery or two surgeries will be, but at least the soft tissue/bowel/intestine surgery will need to happen ASAP. I am going to try to put together a fundraiser on one of those platforms, but I have to find one that doesn't take weeks to turn over the donations. Anyone who wants to do Venmo, the QR code is in the pictures. We also have Paypal, which is [email protected].

When the big dogs teach her bad habits "Come on, ma, she deserves extra treats... as long as she drops at least a t half for us." 🤣🐶🐕

My feisty little trooper this morning 🌄 💙

On our way to vet. Send healing thoughts for this little nugget.

I want to take a moment to give credit where much more than that is due. In doing what I do, I have dealt with many Animal ERs over the years, in many different states. When I was rushing Boris to the hospital yesterday I was battling which one to take him to because of my bad experiences and feelings of "If I didn't take them there, they would be alive." I remembered that 2 years ago we used VEG when Frankie and Bella caught a groundhog and he needed emergency surgery on his lip and my fosters Danielle and Jeff said it was a great experience on so many levels. Not only was the staff fantastic, courteous and caring, but they have an open concept and you can actually observe the surgery if you wish, so off to Nanuet Boris and I went. When we arrived they didn't waste time. They took us straight back into the ER and I got to spend the entire time with him, asking any questions I needed to while they assessed him and started tests. The mild sedative didn't work to keep him calm for x-ray so they thought they would have to use a stronger one, which wasn't a great prospect for his condition. Thankfully they didn't need to, but all of a sudden taking he went DOWN to the floor and I thought he was actually about to die. They rushed over and took his vitals and assured me it was just the sedative finally kicking in. Tests showed that he had fluid in the abdomen, which tested positive for bacteria, coupled with the fact we knew he had a foreign body because he vomited it up on the way to the hospital, It was filled with very dense and harsh materials and, worst of all, rubberbands, all signs pointed to a perforation. The incredible Dr. Brady said emergency surgery would be necessary. I was able to take as much time as I needed to make a decision that I could live with. I asked her about her ability to do the surgery. She seemed very confident she could do it, but was completely candid that if we found certain things once in, he would need to go to a differen

Celebratory treat p🥰 Doc says no intervention necessary. He should be perfectly fine.

Who remembers our Tree pups? Rescued out of a hot, outdoor high kill shelter in Texas at only 2 months old. Well, somehow, the best behaved, most chill and lovable of the bunch is the only one left behind. How is our boy Cedar not adopted? He just turned 6 months and is the most amazing boy. Great with cats and other dogs, loves people and children, and amazing in the house. He's so soft and squishy and lovable. He will melt your heart when you meet him and will always be your best friend.
