Penny Poptart is a 7 month old Chihuahua who has stolen my heart from the first day I met her. My shadow, constant companion, confidante, and little devil.

Seemingly a healthy puppy, eating well, tormenting her sister Bella, and her brother Casper, an all around leader of the pack.

April 15, 2014 our world changed forever. A routine vet visit for a check up and shots turned into a nightmare. Dr. Cindy explained that Penny Poptart has a grade 4 heart murmur and needs lifesaving heart surgery. Without it she will die. Statistics say that she will not survive past her first birthday.

An ultrasound is needed first to get a better understanding of how to proceed and what specific surgery is needed. There is no doubt though, without the surgery I will lose my companion.

An appointment will be made at the University of Guelph to schedule her surgery as soon as we meet our funding goal.

I appreciate you reading this far and understand that not everyone is in the position to offer financial aid. That's ok and I certainly understand.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! xo
