Bernie is doing fantastic! We are so freaking relieved. He is my wife Kimmie's love. But I love him too.

He had both kidney stones & an enlarged prostate. A catheter and a snip to his... Um, equipment... And he is out of danger and pain.

Thank you all for saving our friend!

We nearly lost him. A day later? He might have been gone. Your help meant a lot to us.

UPDATE!!!

I tried to comment earlier, but Facebook swallowed it.

Man, what a day...

So many people to thank!

Bernie is home! He was supposed to be hospitalized, but in the end our vet was able to fit him in.

He has kidney stones AND a swollen prostate. $800 later... I believe he will be with us for some years!

Kimmie was beside herself. Won't admit but... Well. Daymares tell a different story.

We have received enough from you all to cover his operations, medications and x-rays... And I believe follow up treatment.

So many to thank!

Jane our friend and cleaning client for fronting us.

Kim's cousin Beth stepped up. She and her husband also are donating food to folks hit by benefit cuts. Generous souls.

Infidel753, a friend for years. He writes a great blog commenting on national, world, and cultural events from an atheist's perspective. A generous gift! Check it out... https://infidel753.blogspot.com

David J Gordon, a subStack friend, took my by surprise. I must get to know him better.

And Nathaniel Quinn? What can I say. His mega-generous gesture... well took us well over the top.

And Kim's sister, Marla, hit her credit card promising to fill in any gap. Even before we received money to help Bernie out. So surprise, Marla! We got you covered already! She is the biggest dog and animal lover I've ever known. I write about her as "Carla"... some of my readers may know her already .. without knowing it.

What a crazy day!

Bernie is home resting. Strange story. Kimmie got Bernie as a kind of rescue dog. He was a breeding stud who well... had passed his prime for making baby Yorkies. It can be hard to find a home for a working dog. But Kimmie fell in love... Um, after today he won't be concerned with baby Yorkies any more.

I'm pretty sure there are some folks who I don't know about. Because all of us were beating the the bushes to save him.

All keep you up to date.

Thank you all! Bernie, Kim, and I are basking in your love.

I'm teary eyed.
