Spread the word....

Today I was offered something I couldn't refuse.  Cosmo's foster mom, Laurie Wolff, has offered to help me do a dinner fundraiser for Cosmo.  She also wants to help spread the word about the type of cancer Cosmo has due to his vaccines. This was a total surprise to me. Laurie just made me cry all the way home.  Cosmo is truly blessed by all of his friends.  This little guy was brought into my life for some major reasons. 

So we are going to have two events after the first of the year.  I now have to find a venue with a kitchen in the St. Louis area.  If you know of  a location that could be rented very cheaply or for free please let me know.  I also need some organizing volunteers to help plan and get donations for baskets and raffles.  Please let me know if you are willing to be part of the Dinner Crew.  This  is huge for me.

I saw this image last night and I think angle was meant for me to see.

 

I have started to re-post the blog on Facebook.  It would be great for people to LIKE the blog so you get updated automatically.

Still Shopping

It's been a long time since Cosmo has been able to be out with me.  I had a really blood reading today and it was great to be alerted and feel safe.  

Cosmo's friends at Roy's Auto we're living in him. They hadn't heard about the cancer.  Cat owners, please watch how your friend gets their vaccines. I found the papers from the biopsy and cried again. I'll be posting the information later so you all can become informed. 

Shopping for Business Cards

Today Cosmo has to go back to the CAT CLINIC.  There is a stitch that was missed when he was at the doctor.

Yesterday I tried to set up the account for the money raised for the new DAD.  I have to register as a non-profit with the state so that the money raised can be tax deductible.   I couldn't get through all of the online parts. I have requested legal services from MNEA.  I am hoping this is a fast process so that the process can be completed and the money raised can be tax deductible.

 I have also been in contact with another organization who train DAD's.  It is a very difficult decision which group to contract with because they are not local.  Handing over $16,000 to a group is very scary.  I am hoping to get some help from the attorney about how to run checks on the organizations.

There is going to be a DAD handover in Jan. for a young boy in the St. Louis area. I have been communicating with his mom and she is willing to keep me posted about their experience with the Drey's Alert Dog group.

On a fun note...

I cringed yesterday every time I saw someone walking in the rain with their dog.

It's been a great 8 years

As you know it has been a very long time since I have posted.  But Cosmo has been going through a lot recently  He has cancer and recently had the tumor removed.  There is no guarantee that all the cancer cells were removed since the tumor was attached to a muscle.  I have chosen not to take photos of his very long incision because I don't want to remember this time.  He is doing well now and his appetite is coming back.  I want him to gain the pound he lost. 

So Cosmo and I are starting a new adventure to purchase a DAD, Diabetic Alert Dog.  This adventure is the most expensive one of my life.  I need to raise more than $16,000.  The first fund raiser is to raffle off a 32 inch TV.  So if you live in or very near Missouri let me know and you too can help Cosmo.

It has been a very long time

It has been over 2 years since my last post.  So much has happened.  Cosmo and I are getting ready to head to Denver for the NEA RA.  We will be posting everyday.  He and I can not wait to meet up with old friends.

 I'm at the NEA RA!!!!!!!

 This is what I look like every night.

 There are so many chairs!  Everyone sitting in those chairs on Monday will be stopping to talk to me and my human.  Oh My!!!!

This is how I handle the Metro!  It is just way too loud!
