Posting this for a friend of mine. Thought some of you might be interested.
Thanks Mike
Recently our 2-year-old German Shepherd, Lexi, was diagnosed with Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD). She requires total hip replacements (both hips) or faces certain death. She cannot live in the condition she is currently in, as it will only worsen, leading to total lameness and the inability to walk. With 95% of young healthy dogs returning to 100% functionality, we have decided this is our only option. She is an extremely special dog. The operation is very expensive and our desire to save her life is strong. Therefore, we have decided to produce a calendar with pictures of her and sell them on eBay. We realize not everyone will support such a cause. I am asking all my friends and business associates to at least forward this email to their friends, in hopes that enough people will purchase the calendar, and help us cover the cost of her surgery. Thanks for your compassion.
