I had a lot of people mention that I should make a donation page for Sammy. I was hesitant at first just because I hate asking people or money but its for him not me. If you click on the photo it should take you directly to the donation page. If not, it is on my tumblr page.

Any donations will be used for the continued care of Sam. We would also like to make a nice size donation to either our local humane society or possibly start a fund for animals that suffer from DM. This is a debilitating disease and if you love your pet as much as we love Sam, it’s hard to watch him decline day after day when there is so much life left inside of him. You can see it on his face when you play with him that he forgets that he’s disabled. We aren’t thinking about ourselves. As much as we want him to be around longer, we just feel like he deserves it. You know you can tell when it’s time for them to go and I just don’t see that he is ready to go yet. I don’t feel like he’s ready to give up. This is at least going to make him more comfortable and he will be more willing to move around instead of laying around all day. He wants to move but he can’t drag his lower legs around. It’s harmful to him. 

This is all so very much appreciated. I love that people understand that he is an actual family member. If he was my sister, mom, or dad, I wouldn’t just give up on them if they didn’t want me to. 

Please also, if you don’t mind, repost.

You all know your pets are the best people in your entire lives: the sweetest, most loving, most hilarious people you know. And one day you might need some help helping them, too.
