Muggsy needs surgery for a torn ACL in humans but CCL in dogs.  Apparently a torn CCL is more common than i even realized.  So i am sure many doggies may have to suffer bc how expensive the cost and only a handful of vets in this area actually perform the surgery.. I took him to Munhall Vet to see Dr Coen and i was shocked to hear how expensive it will be and and how much pain he is going through.  He's barely walking which is good so it doesn't get worse but seeing Muggsy in so much pain even though he's taking meds breaks my heart.  After reaching out to my neighbors on “nextdoor” i have received a lot of kind words and even  shared their experience , strength and hope.. some great advice from others that have gone through the same situation with their loved ones. I am so grateful for all of them during this time of not sowing what steps to take to get help or find help.

Muggsy loves being here for us and others.   When feeling sad, hopeless, alone or just not able to feel bc certain things are out of our control -Muggsy just shows us love .and at that moment makes one feel loved and no matter what it's going to be okay. Waking up to see his beautiful face  or coming home from school or work  to give a big hug.  Muggsy has so much love to give and to receive..  He loves playing with his old friends at the park and always up for meeting new ones as well. Muggsy loves walking on the trails  with his brothers and meeting new people and seeing the world around him .  Muggsy loves short walks as well in the cemetery looking out in the big beautiful sky wondering what a beautiful world.  Muggsy just loves.  

I need help with Muggsy's surgery and would love to be there for him like has always been there for all of us.  Any donation is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Michelle & Muggsy
