Many thanks to our friends at 2 Brown Dawgs blog.
Once upon a time, in a land faraway (Florida) there lived a beautiful Princess (well actually she wasn’t really a “princess” she was a German Shepherd dog, but she was named Princess) who lived with her loving owner.
One day her vet (a doctor for dogs) found a lump on Princess’ mammary gland. He aspirated it (drew some fluid) but couldn’t tell for sure if it was cancerous.
The good and wise vet said, “This tumor has to go.”
This decree put Princess’ poor owner (Denise) into despair. The surgery was going to cost a lot of money that she did not have, but how could she not help her sweet and beautiful Princess?

Luckily for Princess and Denise, there are some good and kind people at a the Magic Bullet Fund who agreed to pay a portion of Princess’ surgery, but Denise has to raise the rest. As of this writing she is only $419 short of the $1,600.00 needed!! The link to donate is here, Princess’ story is the third one on the page.
The rest of the story.
Denise is actually the cousin to one of Blogville’s own, Donna from Donna and the Dogs. Donna has been working on putting a GSD calendar together to help Denise raise the remaining funds, unless we can raise the funds first. The good thing is the fund is set up so you can donate any amount! Why the other night when I was struggling to figure it out (come on, you know how challenged I can be) Donna went in to check and donated another $1, just to check and see if it was working.
So can you spare $1? Maybe you can forgo your Starbucks coffee today and donate $3. (How much does a Starbucks coffee cost anyway? I’m cheap, I make my own.)
If you don’t have cash to spare, it’s okay, you can still help. All you need to do is to share Princess’ story on your social media sites.
What do you say? Are you up for a challenge?
Oh and just because I can, here’s another cute photo of Princess.
Whadda ya waitin’ for? Start sharing!
Follow-Up Friday
Join me tomorrow for Follow-Up Friday, where I’ll wrap up this week, answer some of your questions and introduce you to a new co-hostess, Dawn from Pet Auto Safety.
That’s a This ‘N That Thursday wrap-up, many thanks to our friends at the 2 Brown Dawgs blog.
Thank you so much for this Jodi! (And I love how you made her story into a fairytale!)
P.S. I make my own coffee too. 🙂
How could I resist those ears? Just made a small donation – hope it helps.
Thank you!!!
She looks so sweet! I am sharing.
When I first saw Donna’s post about Princess the other night, I decided I’m going to donate to help out. As life would have it, time slipped away from me yesterday. So now I am going to go back and donate before I forget. I have another GSD to help with, too…one of our pet sitters asked for help for Atena last night (she tested positive for heartworm). Jennifer rescued the girl for a rescue group but they backed out of helping with the costs…don’t know why so I’m not going to judge them for it…but Jennifer has three dogs of her own.
Aww very touching story. Gladly sharing along.
I can give a little to a pretty Princess. 😉
Yay for Dawn! She’s one of my favorite bloggers! Looking forward to tomorrow!
What a sweetie, of course I can give some.
We have our Paws tightly Crossed fur Princess.
PS. The donation is made and I’ve shared Princess’ story on Facebook. Have to go and share it on Google+ too! I hope we can get the funds together!!
Ditto Frankie. Our paws are crossed. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
Princess is gorgeous. she reminds Mom of her old dog, Smoki. We are donating some money for her to get better.
Love and licks,

Omgosh jodi…that was beautiful…brought tears to my eyes…you really made it sound like a fairy tale…you have such a way with words, as does donna. I dont know if donna told you, but denise and i haven’t seen each other in over forty years, and found each other thru facebook…we both have german shepherds…how funny is that…and plan to meet one day soon. We have grown very close to each other and my heart was breaking for her…i just cannot tell you what this means to us. There ARE good and caring people out there for sure…and you definitely are high on that list. God bless
I would personally like to thank everyone above, on behalf of princess, For donating or sharing….i just cant tell you how much this means to denise. Dog lovers are the most wonderful people!! She is seeing the surgeon next week and that will get things in Motion…..from having no hope at all…she now has hope for the future…thank you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seems mother and daughter think alike…I was just reading through all the comments and wanted to thank each and every one of you who donated, shared, or sent well wishes for Princess. 🙂
And thanks again Jodi for this post!
Hope she gets her surgery! It was nice of you to post her story.
Thanks so much for participating in TNT. 🙂
I made a small donation for Princess after reading about her on Donna’s blog, but I may try to make another. As of writing this, she’s down to needing $331! She’s well on her way!
And yeah, we make our own coffee too… and not any fancy-pants brand, either :).
